Thought some people on the list might be interested in participating in this:
The sine waves compilation (to be titled once all submissions are in) will use songs written using ONLY sine waves in their creation. All oscillations, modulations, lfo's, envelopes, etc, MUST use only sine waves.
I could imagine that people have troubles with the given constraint. Any sound consists of only sine waves. For instance, I often use band-limited oscillators for saw tooth and rectangle waveforms, which are based on the tables that are generated using the sinesum command, which means the waveforms are composed purely of sine components. But even if you do not compose a waveform yourself like when you're using a [phasor~], the waveform still consists of a sum of sine components in the end (either explicitly or implicitly). So, where do you draw the line? Strictly sticking to your constraint, every music I ever made in my life would fit the application. But then, I can't see the reasoning anymore for making a constraint at all.
Don't get wrong, I generally appreciate your effort in creating a submission/competition of this kind, but encourage you to refine the constraints.
