Arcadians — Fourier frequency bands

Hear the full original master and watch its frequency energy become DanceRudiments dimensions.

4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 channels. Each view loads separately and starts paused. Press Play below. Use the shared Bars view for all dimensions or select any bands for an X/Y/Z projection.

Method and interpretation

Every native pip uses a centered periodic-Hann 2048-point rFFT. Equal-width bands span 0 Hz to Nyquist (22,050 Hz for this master). Window-corrected one-sided RMS combines channel powers without cancelling antiphase stereo. Global normalization preserves relative band strengths within each resolution; the six resolutions are not level-calibrated against each other.

Coordinates are bipolar [-1,+1]: zero amplitude maps to -1, the reference to +1; completely silent bands stay 0. These are energy envelopes, not isolated band audio. The audio is the unchanged master. 145 BPM is artist-confirmed; beat-zero phase is unverified. No autoplay or looping.
