assignment 3

Submitted by philcroy on Tue, 2008-06-10 10:25.

In this assignment I used 2 subtractors, using the 'bass on the beach' sound patch and 'celli+contras' patch.

My focus was to use the synth to explore the warm low bass sound into something more electronic and 'spacey'. With the celli+contras, I wanted to manipulate it so that the end result was something similiar to a vocal chorus. I looped a simple chord progression for the celli+contras so the change in sound could be more easily noticeable.

Low warm sounds such as the cello, bass or human vocals have a timbre that I personally appreciate, so I wanted to experience manipulating them with the subtractor in this assignment.

 

I like the intro the best...

I like the intro the best... it really builds up smoothly and sucks you into the world.  It is also cool that it was done with only 2 subtractors. Seems like alot more with all the modulation and filtering that changes throughout

i think the piece did a nice job of mixing harmonies with timbres.  it may have been improved with a fider variety of sounds, maybe experimenting with attack times and mixing short and long sounds
