MANILA, Philippines — Everything we hear can be broken down into a sound: the sine wave. The Sine Wave Orchestra gently reminds us that this is fundamental to everything we hear: voices, a chainsaw, and thunder crackling in the distance. The Sine Wave Orchestra, initiated by Ken Furudate, Kazuhiro Jo, Daisuke Ishida, and Mizuki Noguchi in 2002, is a continuing project that concerns itself with the titular waveform.
