The Ratio Mirror
Choose an interval. The curve closes when the two oscillations return to their shared beginning.
Digital acoustic exhibit · Web Audio laboratory · Sonic Pi studies
HelioSynth turns harmonic proportion, vibration, rhythm, acoustics, and generative composition into instruments that can be seen, heard, and tested directly in the browser.
Begin with two small signal studies, then continue into the Still Chamber meditation system. Audio remains silent until you review the listening terms and deliberately unlock it; no microphone, account, tracking system, or download is required.
01 / A public acoustic laboratory
HelioSynth is a browser-based acoustic exhibit for experiencing proportion, interference, pulse, breath, and generative sound as visible and audible relationships.
This first public sequence is intentionally focused. Change a whole-number interval, watch its curve close, then build a Pythagorean layer from octave-folded fifths before carrying those relationships into the Still Chamber for a longer listening session.
Number becomes interval. Interval becomes rhythm. Rhythm becomes architecture.
Listening safety / Use acknowledgment
HelioSynth uses repeated tones, rhythmic pulses, stereo differences, visual motion, and paced-breathing cues. Review these conditions before unlocking any audio exhibit.
Audio is locked. The visual exhibits remain available.
02 / Signal primer · Two interactive studies
These compact exhibits approach harmonic proportion in two ways: first as a single interval, then as a layered field generated from the pure 3:2 fifth.
Use a comfortable volume. Each exhibit stops the other before it begins, and all primer sound stops when this page is hidden or closed.
Choose an interval. The curve closes when the two oscillations return to their shared beginning.
Build a sounding field from ratios generated by the pure 3:2 fifth. Every selected degree joins the 216 Hz root.
Primer audio is idle.
03 / Featured instrument · Meditation Engine 006
A binaural-beat, isochronic-tone, drone, noise-bed, and breath-pacing instrument. Choose a quiet carrier, pulse rate, scene, and session length; the sound is generated locally on the visitor’s device.
