I've decided for my final project to record myself playing all four parts separately of a quartet, maybe a string quartet, and then put them together. I think learning how to record will be good for me. Although I also think the kaossilator is really awesome.
On a different topic, I'm super hungry right now, and I have a lot of tricky Bartok-ness I need to make wonderful as soon as possible.

At first I was really scared to do the circuit bending project, I suppose mostly because it's something sooo unfamiliar to me. But after the first week of working, and after finding some cool sounds, it became my favorite project of the class so far.
I'm kind of bummed that my toy ended up dying though. I found one bend that would make a repeating sound whenever the button was pressed. It was really neat because the sound would keep going, but it would get stuck in a loop. The other bend I found was a high pitched buzzing noise. Unfortunately either after burning off one of the resistors or maybe drilling through the board was not a good thing. I found that it was really hard to solder as tiny as I needed to, because I kept shorting out the circuits so nothing would happen at all. That is probably due to my inefficiency in soldering.

Now I have to think of a final project. I don't know what to do!!!!!

happy square root day

I have finished my finale project! I actually had a lot of fun arranging the piece, Albeniz's Tango in D, originally a piano piece, for two celli (that word looks strange) and b-flat clarinet. There is something about the timbres of clarinet and cello together that just works...and the more low strings the better. yah!
