making music with mathematics

this videos shows some realtime capture of me typing some formulas to create sounds. as i type the formulas, the graph changes, and so do the sounds generated by them. right next to the regular PC keyboard that i use to type the maths, i have a MIDI piano keyboard that sends some commands to trigger the formulas with different values for "w" (the "frequency", usually in most of the formulas). that way i can play small melodies as i tweak my mathematical sounds. of course many varied types of sound can be created this way, although in this video i only show two.

Very nice, that's the future. Just a syntax oriented editor and a better programming language, maybe. Maybe special keyboard with function keys for language primitives to speed it up.

very nice! Is that a home brewed program to visualize the graph and output as audio, or is this available somewhere?

very cool

genial iq :) hace mas de una decada atras, cuando aun no existian los vstis yo creaba mis samples usando el editor de formulas del goldwave, luego conoci el csound, y mas tarde aparecio cosas como nyquist y chuck... aunque ya hace varios años que no toco nada de ese asunto me encantaria probar la aplicacion que estas desarrollando. saludos
