Composition Assignment A


Due: By class time Tuesday, November 13.

Problem 1
Create a sonic "Haiku" using your re-designed \oscili_2b_1. Your short piece should be between 15" to 30" and should use sinusoidal frequency slides as its main feature. It could consist of one note or of many notes but it should express some concept or feeling. As a real Haiku, it should be simple, open in meaning, but poetically deep. You could start by naming the piece using one world and try to express it with the simple tools you have, or even use a japanese haiku as inspiration for your composition. Here is a very popular Haiku by master Matsuo Basho (1644-94):

"An old pond...
a frog leaps in-
The sound of water."

You should turn in the SynthDefs and score that plays your Haiku.


Deliberables:
ONE SC file with SynthDef's as needed for the Haiku. Do NOT submit audio files, just one SC file with your code. 461 Dropbox.
