- Jenz 6y ago> sounds that otherwise don’t exist. hmmm
- tobr 6y agoCould you maybe share which podcast? Generating “sounds that otherwise don’t exist” does not sound particularly remarkable taken at face value. It’s basically what any synthesizer or audio processor does, and Fourier transforms are also a very commonly used in audio processing.
- max_ 6y agoThis podcast. The episode of Joseph Fourier. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00srz5b/episodes/downloads https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00srz5b/episodes/downloads What I meant by "sounds that otherwise don’t exist" are sounds that are too complex to be created by physical music instruments its easier to simulate them by computer.
