I'd like to start by taking the concept of means and ends and argue that we need other people to live.

Week 6 Reading
During the first week of lecture, we talked about the idea that "play" is the ultimate expression of freedom. In whatever form, we play without a specific purpose. To me, it seemed like games had a purpose of inducing "play". I think the inherent principle of a game is to have fun. While reading this chapter, I became more aware that games often serve many different purposes and are more complex than I originally thought.

I'm not sure if this statement is correct, but from my point of view, it seems like we don't know the limitations of computers when it comes to computer music. There's so much experimentation that can still be done with how to produce sound. I feel like building an instrument first can have multiple consequences. Here's two of them:

Chaper 5: Interface Design
Interlude professor Perry Cook doesn't believe in top-down design, or the idea that you should build the overall system (the instrument) before it's subsystems (the piece). I'd like to elaborate on this idea first and address other points of the interlude.I'm not sure if this statement is correct, but from my point of view, it seems like we don't know the limitations of computers when it comes to computer music.

Chapter 4:Programmability and Sound Design
Before I begin my reflection, I'd like to point out how cool it was reading about the thx deep note. Just by looking at the code and the comments, I heard the sound in my head and realized how rooted it is in culture. I never knew that it had a name, nor did I ever think about computer music during movie trailers when I would hear it. Conceptually, the algorithms used in the ChucK program make a lot of sense, especially when you listen to the sound while tracing through the code.
