about

All works composed with the new pulsar generator (nuPG) program designed
by Marcin Pietruszewski in SuperCollider 3 programming language [1]. Tracks 2, 3, 5 and 10 composed at the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (2018). Tracks 11-14 employ a sieve algorithm [2], [3] for pulsar train masking. Tracks 1 and 4 employ micro-modulation of a plusaret envelope – an extension to overlapped pulsaret-width modulation technique (OPulWM) [4]. Track 15 derived from data sonification model of the first pulsar – a highly
magnetised rotating neutron star (PSR B1919+21) – as discovered by
Jocelyn Bell Burnell [5].

A long haul of a listen building and decaying as compositional interest demands. The sound world feels completely open, sounds that, when placed next to each other would seem wildly opposed flow nicely into one another. Maximum psychoacoustic squeegee harmonics pile out into the ears. bkudler
