Teams for Assignment 8

Great work everyone on your delay patches so far; I'm looking forward to the next performance assignment, in which you will work in teams. Then, after the team assignment, we'll ramp up to Project 1, which is the performance in Beckman on October 23. I'm also looking out for other possible gigs - if anyone has ideas please let me know.

For the teamwork assignment you will work mostly in pairs: one of you will perform on your instrument or voice, while the other will control the computer, either manipulating the performer's sound in real time, or triggering soundfiles, or both.

While your first delay performance was more or less free improv, I would like this one to be a little more structured. Collaborate on a performance that has a beginning, middle, and end. Try to figure out what you want your piece to do. It doesn't need to be notated in traditional notation, but I would like some kind of written description, or score, of your performance.

You have two weeks - I would like to have in-class performances on Wednesday and Friday, Oct. 8-10. Here are the teams I'd like you to work in:
  • Mackenzie Danner and Jinok Cho
  • Daniel Swilley, Justin Kothenbuel and Dee Reddy (let's have Justin and Dee perform, and Daniel control the computer)
  • Adrian Gierakowski and Cheryl Krugel
  • Alex Biehlen and Dale Bigall
  • Jeff Nichols and Ming-Ching Chiu
I've assigned you into teams based on your performing experience, and any previous experience in Max. Good luck! If you're auditing the class but still interested in doing this please let me know.
