In this project, you are to create a laptop orchestra instrument for a single hemispherical speaker array.


== Specification ==
* design and create a new instrument for laptop and a single hemispherical speaker array!
* use ChucK to create/implement the instrument
* should take advantage of the multi-channel aspect (or have a good reason to not do that)
* consider issues of playability, expressiveness, sound, and also use in an ensemble setting
* craft a very short piece for your instrument, describe/score it, turn in with assignment
* each person should turn in their own instrument - however, working together is highly encouraged!
* feel free to use any combination of keyboard, mouse/trackpad, joystick, gametrak, and any other input device


== Resources ==
* [http://chuck.stanford.edu/ ChucK] audio programming language
* [http://smelt.cs.princeton.edu/ S.M.E.L.T.] toolkit for mapping keyboard, mouse, joystick to sound
* come to the tutorial on ChucK and S.M.E.L.T. on Sunday (4/6) at 3pm, CCRMA classroom
