I was a MA/MST student at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Accoustics.

I've made some more progress on my 220a song. I'm trying to do everything in ChucK, from sound design to sequencing. It's pretty rough, but I think I'll end up with something satisfactory in the end. I made a dinky four-sound drumkit with envelope generators, white noise, reverberators, and a sine oscillator. And there are also pitch slides. Gotta have pitch slides. I still need to sequence out the bassline and a little solo section. I also made chords which should pan around the listener but I've been working at home and haven't tested if it actually works on a real four-channel system. We'll see soon enough. Maybe if I had another week to focus just on this I would be able to make something better, but again maybe that's not the point. I've been forced to figure out a lot of simple ways to get roughly the effects I want in doing this assignment, and even if I don't reuse or adapt this code I think it was a good exercise to go through. Of course, there are other projects that I need to take care of very soon. It doesn't help that I've been a bit sick the past week. But I'm sure it will all pan out in the end, one way or another.
