Using audio effects from a whipped cream can, a bubbling kettle, singing wine galsses and a group of idiots laughing, I composed a rendition of a imagined creature!

The first 30 tones are cities that I've been to already, the last 30 are cities I'd like to see. Each tone has a frequency which has been calculated by adding the latitude and longitude degrees of that particular city.

Basically,0 a series of makenotes play a cadence, each note repeated with a varying metro time. Two high pitch notes and one low pitch note are controlled by bendin and a modulation wheel on the PC-70, altering pitch. A video plays, looping a dolphin jumping out of the water. Blue bubbles add to the look of the program. I started with the makenote patches. Each color marks a note: violet/eggplant for E, green for G, and cyan for C. I managed to add the bendin into the program, and a video which will loop. I originally had a drum loop playing, but due to readin problems, I removed it. The soundclip includes the Asian drum loop. I felt frustration making this program, it's tricky getting everything to work, but I was satisfied with the end results. I am happy with the notes, I love the sound of the piano. I didn't have a specific concept in mind when I started, but the sounds of the cadence, and the dolphin video gave me feelings of playfulness, so I worked with that. Hopefully that shows through.

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:09:12 -0800 Maegan http://ourmedia.org/node/381678 One of the wisest characters from Disney productions is King Mufasa of Pride Rock. I have mixed some lion philosophy and a grindhouse baseline to recreate an electronic production of the late King Mufasa's final lesson with his heir. Using the program Audacity, I managed to create a piece high-lighting Mufasa's explaination of life, heightened with various effects including wahwah, tempo change, fades and repeats.
