Its cool how you can make these patterns and still have it sound like music. I was expecting a real nasty sinewave cringe-fest just to get the images but it seems you can have both cool noise and cool visuals at the same time. No idea how you got that to work, ha. Hats off sir.
What OP is saying is that he can imagine an algorithm to draw pictures using sound, but making those pictures have rhythm and harmony and not be screeching and unintelligible actually takes art.
Some portal 2 Soundtracks make some interesting oscilloscope patterns even if just for a bit, songs like Acres of Broken Glass, Adrenal Vapor, Hard Sunshine and Triple Laser Phase do something like that.
Great piece! I've been working with oscillographics, laser projections, film and video since the early 70s. And my friend, from one of the old experienced guys, this one's a winner.
I find the coolest stuff through AvE. That guy knows what is awesome. I'm subscribed to Jerobeam Fenderson now. This guy deserves a big boost on UA-cam.
Ok but imagine this at 1am on an 80s hifi stack with an oscilloscope out of your mind on LSD. I feel like id be there for hours just watching the VU meters. This stuff is insane
Well that was interesting...I began this video playing out loud from my phone and was about to grab my earphones before I noticed my cat had stopped grooming himself, sat up and began to growl evilly/in threatened manner! His eyes looked like black holes wow
Wow! This is cool. I did something similar before (PF 2013 on 1973 oscilloscope), but this is much better, as the picture really represents the music. My audio signals were very "non-musical". Great job!
This is the evolution of a certain alien being time to time,so I may edit it sometimes. 00:00 to 00:13 is when the creature starts out simple, also taking millions of years to evolve. 00:14 to 00:24 is when the creature starts getting complex, having more cells in it. 00:25 to 00:30 is when the creature starts having a habit as it gets bigger. Then at 00:31 to 00:41 is when the creature starts to malfunction, making the habit more powerful so it’s evolution gets Quicker. 00:42 to 00:55makes loops, making the dygestive system even bigger. 00:56 to 01:03 is when a tune starts forming and now it’s evolution happens hour by hour. 01:04 to 01:18 is when the tune starts forming more and more! Making evolution happen minute by minute! 01:19 to 01:40 is when the molecules start catching onto the tune,making it happen second by second! 01:41to 01:55 is when the molecules start to dance, inventing the dance, cool changer. 01:56 to 2:15 is when the dance moves get more rapidly exiting, leaving some too exited. Nothing exiting happens between 2:16 to 2:28. 2:29 to 2:36 is when the creature starts a new habit to stop this Dom happening,by connecting one part to the other. 2:37 to 2:50 is when the habit gets more out of control than the last one while the molecules start dancing more and more. 2:51 to 3:16 is when the creature starts going smaller and smaller, making the sound more faint. 3:17 to 3:37 is when the creature starts to explode. 3:38 to 3:42 is when the creature explodes so when the music stopped, the molecules froze and for years, they have been trying to get the music back. THE END!
I had to do a radio telecommunications course in the 80's where we studied these types of waveforms. I passed the course, but only just. The subject is quite complex when you have to analyse it to that level.
Maaan, something's deffo up with these fractals! Science just hasn't yet gotten to them properly. Stuff at 0:20 and some other bits here and in other files resemble so much of DMT (oh, dat sound, and dat movement!), buddhist mandalas, flowers and nature in general, it's simply amazing!
Very much appreciate your work in this amazing way to visualize waveforms! Some patterns reminded me of the designs from ancient artifacts…would be great to see how the famous “flower of life” pattern among many others sounds as well!
one wave is one x and one is on y they are kindof similar freqnecies that's why they make roundish curves, circles, i figure the oscilloscipe is plotting one period of each wave. to make something so nice, after you have to find a nice couple of waves interrelated with same frequencies and modulate them both. both the waves have high and low in them, perhaps he is just changing a filter in between them
With the sound on my computer full up I can only manage to fill the middle quarter to third of the screen. It also took a bit of tweaking the left/right audio balance to display a proper aspect ratio for a circle or square etc.. But it does work!
Absolutely beautiful! I thought I saw what looked like the IQ diagram of a QPSK modulated signal in starting at 2:11, but then it morphed into 6, then 9 states not 4... sweet!
I have reoccurring nightmares since I was a child that sound and look exactly like this 3:39 but in black and white. It's amazing to see it visualized.
The visualisation together with music and own interpretation gives eerie feeling XD. Somewhere in 1/3 of the video you're almost sure about your emotions :D. The video name adds to the delusional hypnotic effect XD Edit: Scary, unnerving, interesting.
Have you ever tried modifying the sounds with a reverb or a delay unit to see how it affects the visuals? An idea I had but I don't have the means of testing
+Wavestrike Electronics The X Y audio channels seems reversed on this one (right and left audio), it works on my scope, but the whole thing is tilted 45 degrees. Obviously changing you impute cables around can fix this.
Hi. This is brilliant, love it. Can I ask how you recorded the video from the oscilloscope? I'm trying to find out if I can connect one to a projector somehow for live set visuals. Thanks.
For this one I used a small digital camera in a dark room. For later ones I had a better camera with 60fps and a wider contrast range. It's an analog storage scope, which makes the image appear smoother when filmed. I wrote a bit more about it here: www.reddit.com/r/oscilloscopemusic/comments/5wckvf/tech_how_to_film_an_oscilloscope/
Thanks. I read that article - seems like it takes a lot of experimenting to get a good looking film. I will try it, because you can pick up a suitable 'scope fairly cheaply and probably a 60 FPS camera too - although I would want one that had a live output to HDMI/VGA or similar, for live use. Anyway, very interesting. Cheers.
The green stuff is the display of an oscilloscope, which is a device used to measure frequency, and observe changes in an electrical signal. The audio is going into the oscilloscope, which measures and displays the frequency of the electrical signal.
Ranterbach Thanks alot, but as far as i know audio is just a wave (stereo = 2 waves) and thats all ive ever seen on an oscilloscope. How can it display these complex geometrical figures and circles etc?
Benjirich Ok I'm not an expert so I might be wrong but from what I understand the left and right channels both have positive and negative values and it displays those. Some waveforms make really cool shapes and combining them adds all of the cool effects. Like I said I could be wrong, Im just going by what I've taught myself messing around with wave candy in fl studio which has an oscilloscope and a vectorscope
Benjirich You're right sound is a pressure wave that can be displayed as the type of 2d waveform we're used to seeing. This oscilloscope is displaying Lissajous Patterns (a way of graphically displaying complex harmonic motion based on 2 inputs) with the 2 stereo channels as inputs. The image is a representation of the frequency and amplitude of each channel and phase relationships between the two channels.
the waveforms of one audio channel cause horizontal deflection, the other channel vertical deflection. there's a lot more information on my website: www.jerobeamfenderson.net/post/101351329308/how-it-works
is this how a circle can be turned inside out?
trig identities and trig functions. You can use polar coordinate functions like rose curves or other such ones and convert it to the xy plane

Plugged the audio from this into my oscilloscope. No regrets.
As did I (after your suggestion) and mind was blown all over again.
Plugged it in, and now I can't stop looking at what all my other music looks like on the scope. there goes my night.
what it sounds like, WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE OH DAMN ITS 4 YEARS AGO IM LATE
Can you just plug the audio from this into a single channel on the oscilloscope by stripping headphone wires?
@@Rissoe_Really lmao

Yeah, the trick here is usually that one ear gets the horizontal movement as sound, while the other gets the vertical movement.
The real challenge is making the sound make images
What OP is saying is that he can imagine an algorithm to draw pictures using sound, but making those pictures have rhythm and harmony and not be screeching and unintelligible actually takes art.

Totally amazing. I especially like how straight lines are combined with arcs, often "chopping" them off. Such crazy and unique shapes.
3:42 if you put this in white noise, you can see that the line is curved and I can see shape.

You are not far wrong there. Just add multi colours and speed-trails to the visuals and your sorted.
I've heard of people having similar reactions to VR. Something about you brain relearning stimuli hits differently than other knowledge.

very nice! I fell in love with Lissajous patterns upon first seeing them almost 50 years ago. Keep up the good work!
