The SoundSphere cast

Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.

  1. Wave Frequency — the pitch axis; high-frequency sounds vibrate fast, low-frequency sounds vibrate slow
  2. Bloom Envelope — the attack / sustain / decay / release shape of a sound (how it begins, holds, and fades)
  3. Layer Timbre — the overtone fingerprint that makes a violin sound like a violin and a flute sound like a flute (even at the same pitch)
  4. Ring Space — reverb, echo, and room ambience (how the same sound feels different in a bathroom vs a stadium vs a forest)
  5. Tune Synthesis — how primitive sound-elements (frequencies + envelopes + layers + space) combine to build entirely new sounds
  6. Drum Rhythm / pulse / tempo
  7. Sigh Silence / rest / negative space
  8. Amp Loudness / amplitude / dynamics
  9. Hone Selective attention / filtering
  10. Vibe Resonance / sympathetic vibration
