Notes

Disc 1: With a fast Fourier transform, we extracted the results of spectral analysis at a specific moment. We then established the actions that occurred by setting a continuous process which split perpendicularly and a threshold that split parallel to the direction of the audio waveform.
1-1: We averaged out the change that happened over the course of every half second and outputted it. The process was divided into three layers every 0.5/3 of a second.
1-2: We averaged out the change that happened over the course of every 5 seconds and outputted it. The process was divided into three layers every 5/3 of a second. The same recording material was used as in Track 1-1.
1-4: All amplitudes that exceeded the specified value were uniformly shaped. The same recording material was used as in Track 1-3, but the value of the specified threshold value was changed for each.
1-5: The spectral analysis result for every 4092 samples (≈ 0.01 s) was compared with the previous result, and only the sine wave with a frequency where the difference in amplitude exceeds the specified value was outputted. The same recording material was used as in Tracks 1-3 and 1-4.
1-6: A recording of a dovehouse. Output only when the amplitude exceeded the specified threshold value.
1-7: A recording of a dovehouse. Output only when the amplitude was below the specified threshold value.
1-8: A recording of a fireworks event. Output only when the amplitude exceeded the specified threshold value.
1-9: A recording of a fireworks event. Output only when the amplitude was below the specified threshold value.
1-10: Freeze the sample every 3 seconds and outputted. The spectral analysis results of 4092 samples (≈ 0.01 s) were frozen every three second and outputted.

Disc 2: For Disc 2, the theme was the change in playback speed. As with magnetic tape, we processed the change of speed and pitch in a proportional manner. In 2-6, the missing samples caused by dropping the sampling frequency were interpolated, so that only the speed changed while maintaining the playback pitch.
2-6: For tracks 2-5 and 2-6, the same recording material was used as in tracks 1-8 and 1-9 of Disc 1.
2-7: The same recording material was used as in tracks 1-3 to 1-5 of Disc 1.
