The creator had a visual of an octagon and corresponded things like its orientation and size to specific musical notes. When the decagon is manipulated it will play a funky song of mashed together notes at different tones and timings. It sounds horrendous from a music theory standpoint, but I couldn&rsquo;t help dancing along to the weird sounds halfway between spaceship violin and ocean roar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evette LaComb <\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love this project because of how absurd the music is.
