WARNING: loud, painful, high-pitched sounds after 30:50 - watch your playback volume!

In this video I'm pushing sine waves (and not only) to the extreme. I'm talking about using Wolf Shaper (a great free and open-source waveshaping plug-in) for sound design - taking the simplest possible input, and transforming it into something completely different. As it turns - out many interesting sounds can be created that way, but even more importantly - it pushes you to be more creative!
