Hello World! This is the compositional piece for Hw5 with its 3 different sections Free, Rhythm and Scored exploiting several techniques as described below.
This has two parts.
(a) The first part is an amplitude tracking STK clarinet that is playing along to me and my friend playing table tennis. The game of table tennis has many timing variations and the clarinet explores those random events.
(b) The second part is me on the guitar with an amplitude frequency controlled FM synth, that closely follows the pitch changes in its own way.
(a) The first part is me playing random notes on the keyboard along with a spectrum centroid tracker where each note is triggered with cues from the nature recording of chirping birds.
(b) The second part is a Karplus strong algorithm producing notes to a simple chord progression.
This section has overlaying bird sounds and synthesized plucking for a simple tabla (indian drum) beat. It ends just like the nature recording with a man's voice saying "It's late". Echo and reverbs have been added for better effect and a grand finale"'"
