Project #2: Single Hemi Fun + Small SLOrk Sound Sketches

SLOrk-lr-01m.jpg

This assignment asks you to work with two different laptop orchestra media: 1) a single hemispherical speaker array, and 2) a group of unamplified laptops.

Due dates:

  • milestone A 2008.5.2 11:59:59pm (or thereabout), Friday.
  • milestone B 2008.5.9 11:59:59pm (or thereabout), Friday.


Specification (part 1 of 2): Single Hemi Fun

  • create an instrument for a single hemi using ChucK
  • 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!


Specification (part 2 of 2 ): Small SLOrk Sound Sketches

  • (now shift gears, and think a bit differently)
  • craft a piece/performance for 5 laptop, unamplified except for onboard laptop speakers
  • use whatever tools are available (e.g., chuck, garage band, itunes, pd, whatever)
  • (optional) record/videotape a performance in the listening room!
  • each person should turn in their own SSSS - however working together is highly encouraged!


Notes

  • work on the two parts in whatever order you like
  • the due dates are in the form of two milestones. you should have working versions of both parts for the first milestone, and completed instrument/sketch for the second milestone.
  • Have fun with it!!!


Deliverables (milestone A)

turn in all files by: posting them on your website and sending the URL to Ge and Juan Cristobal OR, if you don't currently have a webpage, send the files via e-mail to Ge and Juan Cristobal
