Timewave Synthesizer

This synthesizer is derived from and based upon Terence McKenna's Timewave Zero theory. His theory proposes that the structure of time is a complex wave, and the King Wen sequence of the I Ching is the 64 hexagram code from which the waveform of time is derived; that the King Wen sequence maps the linear progression of the human states of mind, which ultimately substantiates this waveform. This theory is the basis for the well-known novelty computer program he and others had developed.

How to run:

• Choose the 3-stringed synthesizer ("timewavesynth3.scd"), 8-stringed synthesizer ("timewavesynth8.scd"), or 12-stringed synthesizer ("timewavesynth12.scd"), and program/make songs using the "timewavesynth3script.scd", "timewavesynth8script.scd", or "timewavesynth12script.scd" file.

• Evaluate the file in Supercollider IDE to run the synthesizer. Instructions can be found at the top of the file.
