That’s an interesting thought. Beats are just interference patterns, so if you break a sound into its sine components with a Fourier transform, you can manipulate each frequency independently. You could design a “drop” by tweaking the amplitudes of a handful of harmonics over time, even program a simple differential equation to drive a modulation. It’s like turning a set of wave equations into a recipe for rhythm – the math gives you a precise control palette that could open up new sonic textures. The challenge is translating those equations into something that feels musical, not just mathematically elegant. But if you can map the math to expressive dynamics, the next drop could be both mathematically exact and emotionally striking.
