Prime Frequencies
Within all things audible, sine waves are arguably the simplest, yet most fundamental elements. They are consists of a single frequency and cannot be stripped back any further. On the other hand, as stated in the Fourier theorem, virtually all complex sounds can be broken down into a series of simple sine waves. In 2020, I was invited by Nicolas Bernier to create a work centred on sine waves as part of his collaborative research-creation project at the University of Montreal. Thinking about such…
