1 to 222

Digging through a collection of childhood drawings and letters recently, I happened upon this gem. At some point in my young life, I appear to have sat at a typewriter and painstakingly transcribed the sequence of positive integers from 1 to 222, before cutting out the paper in question for future reference. A sign of things to come, no doubt.

Prime Composition

A short sound study in the structure of the number sequence. Each positive integer is broken down into its prime factors, with each factor corresponding to a harmonic partial. We then proceed to count upwards, for each integer only playing those harmonics which correspond to its factors.

More info and full source code (Processing, SuperCollider) available on the Prime Composition project page (coming very shortly).
