description of sequence: fractional part of Φ*n (or φ*n - same sequence) where n is an integer greater than 0
description of piece: The sequence is spatialized using clicks (impulses) of 1 sample. 0 indicates that the sequence value is heard on the left side; 1 indicates that the value sounds like it is coming from the right side. A value of .5 (which does not occur in the sequence) would sound as if it were coming from the middle. The direction can be reversed. A mixture of panning and delay is used to simulate spatial location. A number of samples is chosen as the duration for one click (the impulse and the silence thereafter); the number of clicks per second must be less than 877.963. The duration of the piece is not defined (see Csound file). This piece can also be realized as a continuously running installation with graphics (see catalogue).
