I just received SONAR Platinum by Cakewalk and so I am going to try to learn that DAW as quickly as possible. I plan on using some water sounds recorded by Ayal and Mac with their hydrophone and a few other sounds that have come up in conversation to make a sort of drum machine with water based samples. Ideally, we will all be able to use a drum sample from the drum machine to perform live as an ensemble of water based drum sounds. This will allow us to bring a rhythmic and potentially harmonic presence to the moments that constitute the big reveal of the river puppet from behind the bushes. These sounds will be able to be used before and definitely right after the big reveal as well. Someone mentioned the idea that as we played with our drum machine, there could be a master fader that someone can control that would give control over the dynamics of each of our drum samples separately. This would allow for some slight spatialization of the audio out there in the field depending on where the speakers are placed and how they are mapped to our drum sample outputs. This is just the idea in works right now. Again, before I can really contribute any audio, I personally still need to work on learning Sonar Platinum, as it is the only DAW I have.
