«Re: network of loosely connected nodes (now working)» by LFSaw

Idea: network of loosely connected nodes. Each node has a dedicated pulse rate / phase. Inducing an irregular trigger signal influences the nodes to (gradually) adapt their pulsation freq (and phase?) to the one of the input. sound example: https://soundcloud.com/lfsaw/sync-weakconnection-tduty-time
