This semester we've worked on a few projects using CSound, KeyKit and eventually Cakewalk.
HW 1:
Using opcodes from toots1 through toots6, use Csound to create a 60 second composition.
Score File
Orchestra File
The Result My first project, I went a little overboard with trying to compose something,
and got this in the end.
I do try to use the idea of returning to a chorus, after each section.
HW 2:
Part 1
Using opcodes from toots5- through toots10, use Csound to create a 60 second composition.
Score File
Orchestra File
The sound in wav file (You'll need this if you want to compile the score and orc files.)
The Result The voice you hear is a record I took of my answering machine. My friend is apologizing for standing me up. Listen carefully! -_*
Part 2:
Using one or both of the two .aif files, create your own granular synthesis instrument and score file, making a composition 60 seconds long.
Score File
Orchestra File
The .aif filethat gets granualated.
The finished product! Happily enough it sounds alot like being trapped in a storm.
Hw3:
Part 1:
Use Part1 from homework2 and modify its score file so that it uses at least two macros.
Also, include a section that repeats (use the r statement) as as well as 2 other statements that we have not used before.
Score File*Modified*
Orchestra File*Modified*
The sound in wav file (You'll need this if you want to compile the score and orc files.) Same as hw2.
The Result My modified hw2.
Part 2:
Edit a file called hw3.k that you will place temporarily in the lib directory. In this file,
write a function that takes one argument, a phrase, and makes a new phrase that adds 3 to each pitch
value of the original. Assign each one to a different channel, and select voices for each (using progchange).
Have the function return one phrase that contains the two phrases in parallel.
File *Modified!*
Pentatonic Scales!
Heidi and I worked on a Pentatonic Scale Project and Presented it to
Class.
The Results
A html copy of our handout
Homework 4:
Assignment:
Write a keykit program to generate a 90 second composition that
uses two of the algorithms we have seen.
*must*
include rhythm
include percussion of some kind
and include dynamics (varying volumes for effect).
This is my weird and funky result..embedded for your enjoyment.
