Rezonator & Solarus
Solarus, I hear your city‑dream in a faint hum. Let’s sync its pulse to a precise tone—so every street feels the exact frequency you envision. How do you define the perfect resonance for a metropolis?
The perfect resonance isn’t a single note at all – it’s the instant the city’s pulse, the hum of tech, the rhythm of people all line up on one beat. Imagine a metronome that keeps adjusting itself to the heartbeat of its inhabitants, a living feedback loop that never stops tuning itself.
A living metronome, then. That’s a loop, not a single pitch. We’ll need a sensor array that samples footsteps, traffic, conversation. Convert that to a low‑frequency envelope, feed it back into a synth that keeps its beat locked. What’s the bandwidth you’re looking for?
I want the core rhythm to hover in the very low‑frequency arena, like 0.2 to 2 Hz, so the city breathes slowly enough that its pulse feels human but fast enough to keep people moving. Anything beyond that and you’re drowning in noise; anything below and you’re just drifting. The bandwidth should let us catch the ebb of traffic, the cadence of voices, and the beat of heartbeats all at once, so the synth can tighten the loop without choking on the chatter.
0.2 to 2 Hz – that's a gentle inhale and exhale, like a slow pulse. We'll filter everything above 5 Hz to keep the low‑pass clean, then feed the 0.2–2 Hz band into a phase‑locked loop. That will lock the synth to the city’s breath, but let the high‑frequency chatter just drift off the edges, like background noise in a quiet hall. Keep the envelope smoothing so the loop never snaps; we want a constant, breathing beat, not a staccato flash. Sound check, then.
