Overview

Session 1: Review Syllabus

Session 2: Introductory Slides

Overview

Session 1: Sound Synthesis in Max MSP: classic analog, "Vaporwave," arpeggiation, granular, loop manipulation, scratching, delay lines, procedural audio

Session 2: In-class presentation of Wearable / IoT Proposals

Overview

Session 1: In-class presentation of IoT Musical Instrument

Session 2: Connecting multiple sensors, relational models, simple statistics, perceptual crossing, telematic exchange, affective computing.

Overview

Physical models of interaction (e.g., water pouring) as material for more poetic interactions; collectively-playable instruments (shared control of granular synthesis); relational physical models (exciter and resonator); event detection and emergent coordination (telematic clapping, splashing).

Overview

Session 1: Tracking changes over time; mapping at multiple time-scales; state recognition.

In class exercise: mapping state recognition to sound.

Session 2: Accumulation and integration. Improved event detection.

In class exercise: mapping continuous group input (rather than discrete events) to sound.

Overview

Session 1: Streaming Audio, Linear Acceleration, Phase Patterns, Entrainment

Session 2: Periodicity, Coefficient of Variation, Phase Locking, "Collective Shaping"

Overview

Session 1: Lab session for Unit 3 Project.

Session 2: Unit 3 Project Presentations

Overview

During week 12, 13, and 14, the Monday class period will be used as review session/lab to help students with their individual projects. During the Wednesday class time, the class meets as a group to experiment with collectively-playable instruments / telematic sonic interaction design.
