ChucKu 1:
This ChucKu is inspired by both the simple example of creating a sine wave in ChucK and by the
THX Deep Note. In this ChuckU, I create two sine waves of related frequencies, which are taken
from the list of frequencies used in the deep note. This ChucKu sounds a lot like playing two
notes simultaneously on an organ. One difficulty I found in constructing this ChucKu was
determining which gain values to use for each sine wave. After some trial and error, I found
that using a gain value of 0.9 for the lower frequency wave and 0.4 for the high frequency wave
made the two wave sounds flatter each other the most.

ChucKu 2:
I usually associate haiku's and poetry with peacefulness, so I chose to use a peaceful instrument
for this ChuKu, the mandolin. First, one mandolin plays at a given frequency. Then another
mandolin joins with a relative frequency for the final pluck. The swift change between the
mandolins and the notes they play sound as if this sound is meant to present something, just as
poetry presents an idea or expression.

Sound Logo:
I decided to create a sound logo for myself than can be played when I wake up every morning.
This sound logo is the anthem for a new day, and its manifesto reflects my own inner
monologue of my mental struggle to get out of my comfy bed in the early morning. My sound
logo has three parts. The first part of the sound, the exposition, includes two sections of
mandolin plucks of different frequencies/notes. In the first section, each note is played for an
entire second and at a relatively low volume. This is the "peaceful" section of the sound logo,
meant to sweetly and slowly wake you up from sleep. In the second section, the plucks are
played at lower pitches, a faster pace, and with a higher gain, doing away with the peaceful
tone of the previous section and intensifying as the need to get up increases. Additionally, I
tend to start hating my alarm sound after I hear the same thing ever morning, so the plucks in
both sections of the exposition are played randomly from a selection of three frequency/pitch
options, allowing the alarm sound to be different each morning.

After the exposition, the climax of the sound logo is comprised of more mandolin plucks. These
plucks start at the lowest frequency option from the exposition and increase in frequency until
the highest option is reached. This section is to provide a last bit of motivation to get up and
out of bed, encouraging you to rise up as the notes do.

Lastly, the resolution of the sound logo is a confident playing of two chords. First, a chord is
played using three lower-frequency notes, and it is immediately followed by the same chord
played at higher frequencies. This portion is meant to play when you finally get up, signaling
your first of many victories of the day, getting out of bed.
