My name is Aidan Freedman. I’m a senior and a Math major in the college of arts and sciences. I have played guitar since middle school, but I chose to take this class to focus on my interest in different types of synthesis. Ideally I want to be able to develop my own type of synthesis that has some musical or experimental value. I would like to explore physical modeling and the interaction between physical sound and digital signal and how to use mathematics to create interesting effects with things like pure data and SuperCollider.
