★ Hi

Hello stranger. I'm Trent. I live in Gainesville, where nobody else has heard of Nova Hart. That's why I made this page. It started with a friend's Walkman on a school trip.

★ 14.2 Hz Signal Analysis & DSP

If you want to try this at home: sample at 8 kHz, low-pass hard, decimate. The carrier's there. The hard part is believing it.

 Frequency (Hz) | Level (dB) | Spectral Density [FFT 4096]
----------------+------------+--------------------------------
  10.0 Hz       |  -64 dB    | *
  14.2 Hz [PEAK]|  -42 dB    | ************************** [CARRIER]
  18.5 Hz       |  -68 dB    | *
  50/60 Hz      |  -52 dB    | ******* [MAINS HUM]

★ A Sceptic's Counter-Argument

Everyone says 14.2 Hz is a secret code. I say it's a sub-harmonic of something in the mastering chain. Prove me wrong. (Someone did, sort of. I'm still sceptical.)

★ Favorite

'Midnight Protocol (Part III: The Chorus)' (1989). Most people skip it. Most people are wrong.
