Differential Evolution

Differential evolution algorithms use iterative optimization techniques to generate music by evolving and optimizing musical parameters over successive generations. Unlike current A.I generative models, this approach does not learn from other producer's work, but rather is an form that attempts to mimic the creativity of the sole teacher.

Recursion

Recursion is a process in which a function or procedure calls itself, creating a loop of repeated or nested operations. In several tracks, melodies and instruments are created and called with the Fibonacci Sequence. 

Shepard Tones

Shepard tones are an auditory illusion where a series of overlapping pitches seem to ascend or descend infinitely without ever reaching a perceptual endpoint. Just as Zeno's paradox suggests motion is impossible because one always covers half the remaining distance, Shepard tones create the illusion of infinite ascent or descent without ever reaching a conclusive destination. This processing technique has been applied to several builds in our tracks.

Tesselation in Sound

Tessellation art intricately arranges repeated shapes without gaps or overlaps, playing with positive and negative space. We've applied this by accompanying a symmetrical presence and absence of baseline, from which a new melody seems to emerge. 

Crab Canons

A Crab Canon in music is a demonstration of symmetry,  where one line is played forward while its counterpart is played in reverse, creating a musical palindrome. This is applied in several lead synthesizers.

Spectral Density & Waveform

Low temporal variation, legato notes, and sustained reverb were used to test this song's ability to improve focus. We tested this hypothesis with a group at the University of California, Berkeley. The focus of those who listened to the track during cognitive testing outperformed those who listened to alternative sound with atmospheric noises that mimic common workplace environments.
