Nachtstille

smashed to pieces
(in the still of the night)
Lawrence Weiner

Generative sound environment based on a biorhythm algorithm: three independent temporal processes in the ratio of 23 : 28 : 33 change the level of three sound files with a recording of the famous Christmas carol Silent Night (Stille Nacht), which are also time-stretched according to the same proportions.

Written in Max with Karlheinz Essl's Realtime Composition Library (RTC-lib).
