Assignments 4 and 5

Thanks to Ben Smith for a terrific presentation! Just to confirm what I said in class on Wednesday: you can have until Monday to finish tweaking your delay patches for Assignment 4. We'll be talking about delays more in Friday's class, as well as Max and MSP tutorials. Remember, as you work on your delay, that you will be performing in class with it for Assignment 5, which is due next Wednesday, 9/17.

Your performance next Wednesday shouldn't be too long (I want to try and hear everyone, so a couple of minutes is fine), but you should have some kind of plan: for instance you can start loud and get softer, or vice versa; you can start in the low register of your instrument or voice and go higher, or vice versa; you can start fast and end slow; or you can stay in one "place" (high, loud, etc.) for your entire performance. Just have a plan, and make sure that your delay patch is part of your plan. Some cool canonic things could happen.

Finally, next Monday Professor Ann Yeung will give a short presentation of my piece Nebulae for harp, MaxMSP, and Jitter.
