homework 02

here’s the homework for next week:

1.a> create the most harmonious sound using additive synthesis

1.b> create the most terrible/unpleasant sound using additive synthesis

p.s.: revisit Walter Lewin talk on harmonics!

2> create a very simple audiovisual system:
animate an object (basic geometric shapes only!) on screen . The object can move freely, bounce, cycle,etc..
Use its motion properties to control the frequency of an oscillator
(feel free to explore motion, number of objects, number of oscillators)

3> push the limits of your machine and try to add as much oscillators / sine waves to your additive synthesis

4> watch the documentary: “MOOG – the documentary” we’ll discuss it in class

have fun with sine waves!
