Yes! You need to perform the Discrete Fourier Transform of the wav. This is usually done using the Fast Fourier Transform. The complex coefficients resulting from the transform are then the magnitudes of the Cosine and Sines for a particular frequency.

Google will provide the theory.

ah but is it art? :-)

cheers for the info
