Twelve seconds to slow down.

A soft harmonic bed opens gradually beneath seven bell notes. Alternating echoes add space without using a sampled instrument.

The twelve-second WAV is the original. The waveform is drawn from its audio samples, and you can edit the complete Python score and render it with NumPy and FFmpeg.

How this example was made

  1. Wrote the score A slow pad and seven bell notes, written as an editable program.
  2. Rendered the sound Twelve seconds of original synthesis with stereo echoes and a clean fade.
  3. Drew the waveform The picture is plotted from the audio's own samples.

Real and generated. Made entirely by synthesis: no samples, speech or third-party music.
