Experiments in Sound Final Project Example

Electroacoustic composition featuring an A Capella archival recording collected by Helen McAllister and Sue Holley on August 4, 1959 of singer Frank Poole, new ambisonic field recordings, and ambisonic experimental/improvised cello performances. Mastered using the ATK (ambisonic tool kit) render in stereo

Custom viewpoint modifying glasses and smart device vertical video + interactive ambisonic installation created for Sound + Space using 16.2 channel research speaker array designed and built by the class as an earlier group project utilizing the ATK (ambisonic tool kit).

ASSIGNMENT: PASTICHE COMPOSITION

For the first project create an acousmatic 2-5min pastiche composition. Select a single sound sample no longer than 3 seconds (or a single instance of Attack Sustain and Decay) then use a mixture of the audio synthesis and DSP techniques discussed in class to create a new granular composition.

Respond to Jean-Claude Risset’s Mutations (1969) by manipulating your single sound sample to create your work. The subsequent new composition must be entirely created from your chosen sample and should display a variety of textures and layers while exploring the panning law and stereo field.
