Assignment 1

I would like everyone in the class to be contributors to the class blog; you should receive an email inviting you to be a member. Please follow the instructions in that email message, and sign up to be a contributing member to the blog. Then, please write a post about yourself - your musical background, and what you hope to gain from this class.

For next Wednesday, Sept. 3, please read through tutorials 1-9 for Max (up to "Mouse Drawing"), trying out the patches and tweaking them. Also read "MSP Introduction," "How Digital Audio Works," "How MSP Works," and "Audio I/O." Finally, read through the first five MSP tutorials (this is where you actually get to make sounds - make sure to use headphones); if you have time, try out the first couple of Jitter tutorials also. We should get through these tutorials quickly, so we can spend more time making music and art!
