Needless Needles

‘Needless Needles’ is a generative music composition for Pure Data programming language, exploring high-frequency intervals and combination tones using custom-designed micro-detuned voices. These high-frequency intervals tend to produce so-called ‘otoacoustic emissions’ — an extra layer of sound generated within the listener’s inner ear by itself, as a reaction to these specific frequencies. Due to the generative nature of the piece, it will sound differently each time it is played (if played from the original computer patch). The piece uses a set of 3 core custom-designed voices. Each voice has a basic frequency and 16 sub-voices detuned in the micro-range range of 0.0001 Hz to 1 Hz against the main frequency of the oscillator. In addition it has 3 sub-oscillators generating low-frequency related to one of the main high-frequency voices, and a special spatialisation cross-relative filtering section widening the spatial effect.

Composed, programmed, and produced by Evgenii Ignashev, 2020
