I'm usually not interested in what way things are made, because it ruins my perception of the music/movie/painting etc. but do you mind telling us how this is made using math?

I take a series of semitone changes and make every progression of sounds follow those numbers. The semitones are also usually divisible by the same number, so that when they overlap the 'distance' in the numbers makes the interaction of the sounds throughout the song follow similar mathematic functions. So if a series of semitone changes I used was 100-50-100-50, I could make some violin sounds have those changes and then use violins that changes half as quickly, so one block of '100' sound in the slower one would contain a 100-50 change happening. The semitones usually follow a much more complex series of numbers in the songs I write.
