Music 220a - Homework 3: Physical Model and Sampler Duo Performed by Algorithms

Chuck Files

Sampled Audio Files

Result: Physical Model Duo

My sampled audio is a 30-second clip from the "Too Hot Toccatta" - an orchestral overture by American composer Aaron Jay Kernis - and my physical models are the clarinet and the "Bowed" model. To better the timbre of the intsruments, I adjusted vibrato qualities in the bowed model and reed stiffness in the clarinet model.
In putting together the score, I tried to keep the beat constant, and took advantage of an audio sample that resulted from the clarinet playing a certain iteration of the logistic algorithm. This theme recurs.
