SubjectSpectral Morphing Drones & Human Respons???
Hi, I was a long time absent in the Csound list, more of a
silent reader....Now is time to throw in a dynamically filtered questio ;-)

I am looking for Csounders who are fascinated by the modelling & shaping of 
drones. I spend most of my time modelling spectral interesting drones to 
trigger special moods.
what I did was starting with a 20 second loop of full, flat white
noise and applying filters, delays and convolutions on it. Everytime
I ended up with a drone tightly "molten" into a specific spectral profile 
and each variant drone triggered a variant mood or "meta emotion" according 
to the drone's spectral content. It is amazing how accurate the human mind 
responds to subtle variations of a spectral configuration. I quickly became 
fascinated by this phenomena and I tend to expand my amateur research to the 
field of the visual. This way i want to end up with a very clear "sound and 
vision" responsive triggering of the human gestalt.


Is anyone also infected by this or a closely related phenomena ?
If you answer, please keep in mind that i am NOT a pro, i did NOT study the 
science of DSP or psychology or anything like that...I only gained knowledge 
of this by 100% experimentation.


David.
