Assignment 1 for Thursday September 6th
1) Read the attached article by Jean-Claude Risset, "Computer Music, Why? It covers some of the general ideas and trends we discussed today as well as many of Risset's best works. I would encourage you to listen to these pieces, especially:
A) Songes, library CD 14870
-- this disk also includes Computer suite from Little boy and Sud
B) Oscura, in the studio /snd/sflib/listening as risset_oscura.wav
-- "lsfl listening" shows the contents, "psfl risset_oscura.wav" plays the file
C) "Historical CD of digital sound synthesis", library CD 14926
-- Risset refers to this collection from time to time. There is much to be explored here, a resource to revisit throughout the semester
We will listen to an additional work together next week, the 8-channel version of Resonant Sound Spaces, also mentioned in the attached article.
2) After your lesson with me, please produce 3 short Score11/Csound examples using the additive synthesis instruments marimba, carillon, or celeste mention in class. Review your Documentation as a reminder of how to use the system.
