My rhyming sucks - 21 Days

The album making this blog happen is a funky, rap, early 90s record with heaps of rhyming. It kind of inspired me to start some rhyming in this blog. However, I think it will be too difficult.

Week 11 began with Audio Arts and the class was good. It was useful to discuss some of the issues that are already coming up in our projects. Since the class, I have received what I believe is the animatic. It has not enlightened me to a great extent as to the plot, but the main character is interesting. I think the story is called "The Story of the Recipe Alchemist". There is some potential for some interesting sound design. Atmosphere is going to be incredibly important, but at this point it is difficult to think of any areas that may need extending in the temporal sense.

Trooper Saliva rhymes with SuperCollider, but makes no sense. Similarly, the short section of the Creative Computing class looking at score creation did not make much sense. It may be worth going over this with the proper working example in class. The data technique stuff did make sense and I got a control envelope to work with my sine granulation. I will probably post my SuperCollider patch tomorrow because circumstances should allow something good to be ready then, but not now.

My groups promising and successful improv session was cut short to have a listen to Luke Harrald's presentation. Luke is an acoustic and electronic music composer. He discussed some of the musical experiences he had overseas. These mostly occurred at IRCAM and NIME (New Interfaces for Musical Expression). Much of the focus was on the new interfaces. Thus, there was a significant section of the presentation devoted to some of the work of Adachi Tomomi.
It was good to hear Luke speak,
and there's no more for this week.

What did you think of Luke's piece 'Monuments', you know the one he played at the end? For the record, I thought it was quite beautiful. One of the UPIC pieces he played earlier on didn't really impress me much. I mean, the UPIC was a great concept, but I think it's capabilities have been exhausted.
