Part of "The Aural Ascendancy" series I'm playing with focusing on visualization of aural experiences.
-------------------------------------------
*Nyquist Frequency = A theorem stating that when an analogue waveform is digitized, only the frequencies in the waveform below half the sampling frequency will be recorded. In order to reconstruct (interpolate) a signal from a sequence of samples, sufficient samples must be recorded to capture the peaks and troughs of the original waveform. If a waveform is sampled at less than twice its frequency the reconstructed waveform will effectively contribute only noise. This phenomenon is called "aliasing" (the high frequencies are "under an alias").
