With my final project, I wanted to combine some tools I've acquired in 220A to create an expansive, intense, drone-like piece, with a set of B notes as the center. The result is a synthesis of ChucK-generated pitches, live instruments recorded directly to Audacity, and vocals processed through ChucK.
I began by recording piano and electric guitar directly to Audacity and adding basic effects. On top of that I added pitches generated from SinOsc waves. Pitches1.ck plays a constant B note, and Pitches2.ck alternates between left and right channels and deeper B and D# notes. Next I ran my improvised vocals through voiceToInstrument.ck and voiceToInstrument2.ck (building upon source code provided originally for HW5). The vocals (with effects) are in the left channel, and the output of two ChucK saxofony tracks (with parameters specified) is in the right channel. Finally, to add higher tones, I recorded a second improvised vocal track directly to Audacity; that track is in the left channel.
To specify pitches in my code, I used the following sources: http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/jw/notes.html, http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html
