How it's made

Source
a holographic projector spinning up. Three layers: a glassy tonal sweep (the light assembling), a scatter of digital sparkle pings (pixels resolving) and a low mains-like hum that the image settles into.
Body
the sweep is a bank of detuned sines at inharmonic glass ratios (1 : 2.32 : 4.1) gliding up three octaves (330 -> 2600 Hz), softened by a low-pass that opens with it; sparkles are short sine pings at 3-8 kHz on a consonant ratio set with a 3 ms attack to avoid clicks; the hum is a 110 Hz sine with soft 2nd and 3rd harmonics.
Envelope
the sweep swells over about 65 % of the length and releases as the hum takes over; sparkle density is front-loaded with the sweep then thins out; the hum fades in from 45 % and decays smoothly to silence at the end.
Variation
`rng` shifts sparkle times, pitches, pans and strengths and detunes the glass partials by 1 %; macro parameters set length, brightness, sparkle amount and hum level.
Modulation
a 5 Hz shimmer of 2 % on the sweep and a 3 Hz amplitude wobble on the hum give a living, projected feel without harsh resonances.
