The Absurd Collection
The Absurd Series experiments with non-linear control mechanisms, turning chaotic mathematics and live environmental data into driving musical forces.
TurboBrain
Binaural beats generator for psychoacoustic entrainment.
- Psychoacoustics: By panning pure sine tones slightly offset left and right (e.g. 400Hz vs 410Hz), the human brain hallucinates a third 10Hz phantom frequency.
- Mapping: Presets built specifically for Gamma (Focus), Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta (Deep Sleep) entrainment stages.
TurboGeiger
Hardware-free Geiger-Müller counter simulation.
- Mathematics: Mathematical Poisson processes emulate true radioactive isotope decay.
- Application: Provides absolutely un-quantized, stochastic drum machine transients. There is no grid; only probability and decay.
TurboWeather
Real-time environmental atmospheric synthesizer.
- Sourcing: Uses the
Open-MeteoAPI to grab live data of the exact geographical coordinates of the user. - Audio-Mapping: Temperature shifts alter pink noise filters. Global wind speed drives LFO amplitude. Rain forecasts synthesize randomized percussive droplet generators.
TurboBoid
Artificial Life / Flocking Algorithm Sequencer.
- Simulation: Implements classic Boid algorithms (Separation, Alignment, Cohesion) on an abstract 2D plane.
- Triggering: If a simulated node crosses the boundaries of the field, it triggers generative geometric audio spikes. The music literally controls itself via swarm intelligence.
TurboSonar
Deep-water ping sonar mapping.
- Synthesis: Impulses high-frequency oscillator pings into a synthetic abyssal
ConvolverNode. - Timbre: The reverberation is an artificial 5-second long-tail decay designed to simulate immense submarine pressure networks.
