What This Course Is About
Integration and infinite series, taught through the studio: every sound you have ever loved is a sum of sines, and the synthesizer is the lab bench where you prove it.
The Made Thing
A sound built from first principles — a patch or piece whose harmonic structure you can derive and defend.
The Daily Path
