FREQUENCY from ACOUSMONIUM by TELEKINETT / MAURICIO REYES

Sound propagates as mechanical vibration waves of pressure and displacement, in the air or other substances.[5]. In general, frequency components of a sound determine its "color", its timbre. When speaking about the frequency (in singular) of a sound, it means the property that most determines pitch.

The frequencies an ear can hear are limited to a specific range of frequencies. The audible frequency range for humans is typically given as being between about 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz (20 kHz), though the high-frequency limit usually reduces with age. Other species have different hearing ranges. For example, some dog breeds can perceive vibrations up to 60,000 Hz.

In many media, such as air, the speed of sound is approximately independent of frequency, so the wavelength of the sound waves (distance between repetitions) is approximately inversely proportional to frequency.

Mauricio Reyes is a futurist, composer and audio researcher focused on experimental, electronic, and electroacoustic practices.

Founder of Telekinett Records (2004–2008), a label dedicated to atonal and exploratory sound, he investigates signal behavior, noise systems, and spatial perception through granular synthesis, tape manipulation, spectral analysis, and circuit experimentation.
