In May of 2020, encouraged by social media, I started a daily creative practice. It didn’t last long, as it quickly became apparent that adjusting to the situation was not “extra free time” as some had asserted.
I made three studies of some basic wave forms: sine, sawtooth and square. These are band limited, but otherwise unencumbered by filtering or subtraction. Unreleased until now, these are the first of what will hopefully be several albums coming out over the next few months.
You can find the EP Basic Waveforms at Bandcamp.

@celesteh My favourite was Squares. Was only sad that it ended so quickly.
Some bits reminded me of some old game SFX like in Dragon Warrior Monsters when a portal opens it gets all trippy like that as well with the squares.

Hi, is this audio a risk to people who are sensitive to strobes?

@celesteh@hachyderm.io @celesteh@www.celesteh.com I would say yes, but it is not optical, it only has the same effect acoustically.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll mention this in the album description momentarily.
I hope this didn't harm you. I'd never heard of acoustic strobing before now and I'm sorry for the lack of labeling.

@celesteh@hachyderm.io @celesteh@www.celesteh.com Thank you for taking over the warning, I got the feeling when I listened to it that it would trigger a migraine if I kept listening to it, so I left it alone. Very fiddly on the brain. But otherwise it was great! Too bad I couldn't take it.
