"TWacked"
Artistic inspiration
I got my artistic inspiration for this music file, from just putting together
random things from the CSound book chapter 1, and it sounded cool so I kept it.
Technical details
It's structure is composed of segments of different sounds:
0 to 5 seconds: uses granular synthesis
5 to 10 seconds: me trying out pluck
10 to 15 seconds: my instrument, uses pluck in left output and buzz in right output audio
15 to 20 seconds: using aif instruments
20 to 25 seconds: man that singing sounds like a bad engine day, like Avril Lavigne everyday
25 to 55 seconds: 2 loops of a combination of instruments, sounds Nintendoish, but cool!
55 to 65 seconds: uses granular synthesis with some instruments, kinda scary actually...
Overall: it is pretty wacked, and far out there, that is why I gave it the name TWacked, T stands for totally!
Special Techniques
Using pluck combined with buzz to create an organ sounding instrument, that was cool
Combining several instruments together in symphony for Nintendo sounding part
Trying to make a piano play left and right handed in 15 to 20 second part
Effects
Granular Synthesis (grain)
Invented Instrument
My invented instrument, instrument 106, is a pluck combined with a buzz
sound. I seperated the pluck for L output, and buzz for R output. When
they combine the instrument sounds like an organ
