Group (example)

• members: Jieun Oh
• (tentative) title of piece: Converge
• summary of piece concept: collect data (location, time, audio recording, text, pictures, tapping gestures) from performers prior to the concert, and combine the elements into a piece during performance based on audience preference
• link to all related files (chuck, audio files, instructions, scores) : converge files
• documentation of what you tried as of May 11: blah blah blah

Virtual Handbell Choir

• members: Nick, Daniel, Jay
• (tentative) title of piece: Virtual Handbell Choir (very tentative)
• summary of piece concept: Air handbells for 15 slork stations w/Golf Controlllers, featuring a guitar hero-like GUI which will automatically disseminate the parts of a MIDI song to each Slork station, with each player being in charge of two bells.

Milestones - 
Instrument - Nick, Daniel - Wednesday 12th
Network - Jay - Monday 10th (something done to pass to daniel)
MIDI - Jay - Monday 10th (something done to pass to daniel)
Graphics - Daniel - Monday 17th
INTEGRATION - ALL - Wednesday 19th
Piece - Nick - At least something by Wednesday 19th

ideas for network: 
1.) songs stored on server - client downloads midi, parses - determines what it needs and displays that
2.) songs stored on server - server parses song - client looks to server for specific part it needs - downloads and displays that

ideas for graphics:
- flies at you at an angle like rock band
- hits are circles, higher velocity = larger circle + different color
- long rectangle for the fast dinging thing
- lower horizontal bar to show you need to dampen

ideas for instrument:
- dampen to your chest and/or with pedal - at least have pedal be a "kill switch" in case of error	
- use STK shaker code to excite the bell sound

• documentation of what you tried as of May 11:

• • Nick: processing of handbell samples to transpose into 3 full octaves and basic, functioning control with controller
  • Daniel:
  • Jay:

• • plan to integrate further for basic instrument wednesday

• members: Alan Hshieh, Aaron Zarraga, Isaac Wang
• (tentative) title of piece:
• summary of piece concept: The idea for our piece is that we want to combine "live" coding with a pre-written score in order to simulate a full orchestra. Each SlOrk station will be a different orchestral section and they will have an assigned part to play. The piece will be slow and harmonic to allow each person to physically type in a new note's frequency value for their instrument. These coding screens will be projected in order to show off the live coding aspect. We want to create a piece that is interesting to watch as well. We plan to make the smack sensor swap out the current shread with the new one that is currently being typed. Therefore everyone will be striking their instrument at the appropriate times to play each note. This will be awesome to look at, especially since we plan on having some Taiko drums in the orchestra. We are still trying to develop our ideas as far as what we want for the final piece, but we know that we want the song to be epic.
