Diary 2025-08-15
I ended up messing with additive synthesis today, with an eye towards doing something xenharmonic with an instrument with a harmonic spectrum. I got all of the technical stuff I wanted put together, and now I'm floundering with the fact that everything I've done with the spectrum results in a sound I would describe as "like a pipe organ, but a little more annoying". I've got a lot to learn about controlling timbre, clearly.
(Maybe I should just make it really inharmonic?) (Huh, just going full negative harmonic gave me something nicer. Good to know.)
Anyway, I'd better wrap up.
Good night.
