Lucy
by Leigh Ferguson
My csound composition is called "Lucy". It's inspiration was my cat, Lucy
This is lucy:
She meows a lot. A LOT. So I went home and recorded 5 minutes of her meowing, then picked my favourite one to combine into my composition.
The composition starts of with a grain sound. I got this from the tutorial and decided not to change it because I really like the sound. Next to goes to alternating between a buzz from 1 channel, and a meow from the other. Then comes in my original instrument - I call it a buzzing cat. I multiplied the meow and the buzz together and divided by 200 to make it less loud (because it was VERY loud). The result is interesting.
Then just for fun I put in a sped up version of bob marley's "jammin'" from the simpsons, and put lucy's meow on top of this clip in varying speeds.
