Beginning Piece Change

After speaking with members of the river group and learning about the choreography, Rachel and I are changing our plan of action a little bit. Instead of a piece solely with drums, our piece will be very melodic. The drums will be the driving force behind the piece as the river develops. We will start off with some of the softer drum samples as the river appears from behind the bushes. A melody will start as the river flows toward the front of the pond. The drum samples will change as the river moves forward. The big moment of the piece will be as the head of the river appears and joins with the river. We'll have loud drum samples for this part and a very powerful melodic moment. We plan on using flute and string-like instruments for this piece. We also will be triggering various river noises live instead of drum samples, so that choreography for the river can be planned with the drums.

Plan of ACTion

After talking to the river group today we were able to work out some stuff, and are planning on going to property dispo and the recycling center tomorrow in order to find some metal things to hit and some rigs to build! I suppose that we are good to go with the proposed speaker set up, and ayal and mac and others and I will be shaping some of the sounds we have into some cool soundscape stuff!

Taiko Drums

I was thinking about the drums we are using in the beginning of the performance, and how we can make more rhythms and use more of the samples that we have. I honestly felt kind of burnt out of rhythms and ideas this last week and need some new inspiration....That's when I realized that Taiko drums are used in one of my favorite games, Rhythm Heaven for DS. It is specifically in a mini-game called "Drummer Duel."

This made me wonder if there were other games out there with Taiko drum....Turns out, there is! After very little research, I found a game called Taiko no Tatsujin. It looks kind of like it's a Guitar Hero/Rock Band game, but specifically with Taiko drum. Below I've posted a few of the songs from it. Anyway, these links gave me some ideas for various ways to use the different drum samples together in a loop (especially the stick clicks).



Looking forward to next Tuesday to discuss choreography, which will help out a lot in our planning for the final piece!

Underwater - Above Water Sound Demo



I decided to revisit the idea of going back and forth between underwater and above water worlds. Using underwater and above water recordings of the river, I made some sounds of going back and forth between underwater and above water. This could be used in the very beginning of our performance during the soundscape section to show two different sound worlds - underwater and above water.

Proposed Speaker Setup


Here's my Rizzle Pizzle (River Poem). It is currently untitled. Unless we choose to call it Rizzle Pizzle. Suggestions are welcome but I can't promise I'll choose one. Forgive me as I do not know how punctuation works in poems. We're already in works on some pretty heavy vocal processing just to make it sound different and weird and in tune with a river in some way.

Untitled River Poem (tentatively named Rizzle Pizzle)
by Cedric Lee

River, river it flows and flows
taking with it wherever it goes
the experience of old, the promise of new
through the pale moonlight, past the morning dew.

Never once the same as it was before
Yet always the muse of old folk lore.
Unraveling beauty with each mysterious turn.
Its steadfast banks, it had to earn.

A powerful force provides a formidable fight,
as it surrenders only to gravity's might.
Providing food for some, a home for others.
Under the surface, creatures swim like brothers.

More froggy inspiration


Over the weekend I was at my parents' house and I found my old DS. As I was playing Animal Crossing and grooving to the tunes, I thought, "hey, this sounds like some funky frog music." I kept the Animal Crossing songs in the back of my head as I was composing baby frog music. I want the tunes to be upbeat and whimsical like these.

Stone's Tight Chords

     A few weeks ago, Stone came into class saying, "Yo, I wrote some chords."
     We listened to those chords. They were tight chords. A little sad sounding, but tight chords.
     "Hey Stone, what are those chords?" I asked him.
     Stone said, "I don't know, man. Sevenths?"
     "Seveeeenths," Brian repeated, his mouth cracking into the slyest of grins.
     After figuring out what his chords were by ear, I was able to experiment with them during class. I also decided to continue working on them this weekend, aiming for the "build-up" effect that Professor Gurevich has been regularly mentioning to our group. I don't think this track will be used for the final production because it isn't very "fanfare", but I enjoyed working with the concept of build-up overtime. I still think I could bring more build-up to the metaphorical Logic Pro X table.

 

Bird Sounds

This is a max patch I have been working on that synthesizes bird sounds using sine waves. I'm also working on a crickets patch and a granular synthesis patch that granularizes some recordings that Mac, Spencer, and I have recorded.

Fanfare

Fanfare. This word has stuck with me since the beginning. Professor Gurevich was the first to mention this word for the finale, and I think it is a GREAT word, a great FEELING, and a great EXPERIENCE. So far, I don't think my group has written any music that implies fanfare. I want to imply fanfare. I want to have a fanfare. Here are songs from a lovely soundtrack that makes me think, feel, experience, fanfare:




Our melodies keep sounding rather sad. I want to change that. But maybe not this happy.

Hydraulophones

Although this is somewhat off-topic, I thought this was a really cool example of the inclusion of flowing water into music. Steve Mann is known for his work in wearable technology, but he is also interested in experimental music and Human-Computer Interaction in relation to sound.

River Procession

With Laurie Spiegel's "Drums" as our inspiration for the river piece, Rachel and I are coming up with rhythms in various meters, using Taiko drum samples. My very simple idea for the progression of the piece is that, we could start with a softer sample with a very simple rhythm (straight 16th, maybe?). Then, as the river puppet emerges from behind the bushes, things can pick up, adding more voices transposed to different notes and the rhythms become more involved. As the river splits to go around the pond, we can have a left-panned voice doing rhythms in 3/4, and a right-panned voice doing rhythms in 4/4. As the river merges back together, the two rhythms will combine in a way to form a new rhythm, in perhaps another different meter (6/8?). We can continue with the previous rhythms and fit them into the 6/8 format as the river processes.

Wind Wand

I think this is the thing for spinning puppets:

FM Broadcasting for Spatial Audio

Our group has been discussing using a spatial audio setup during the beginning of the performance. One way of doing this that we have discussed is to broadcast audio using FM radio to a number of boomboxes located around the pond. We could simply buy an FM transmitter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/0-5-Fail-Safe-Long-Range-Transmitter/dp/B003FO4UHW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336750605&sr=8-1. This transmitter would broadcast over 100 yards, which seems like a good distance. But, we could also build our own transmitter, which would be a lot cheaper and more fun. This looks like a good set of plans to build one: http://makezine.com/projects/super-simple-fm-transmitter/.  This specific design would only broadcast over 30 feet, but we could boost the range by adding an antenna.

New Age Sounds & Birds

The past week I have interestingly stumbled upon some new age records. There is a series by self-titled "sound recordist" Dan Gibson called Solitudes. There is some interesting stuff here in terms of natural sounds that may be useful to different composition groups, although I don't know how I feel about some of the background music...



Here is a great image of Dan Gibson recording with a parabolic microphone in a canoe:

Melodic Harmonizing for River

Rachel and I recorded some sounds from outside to potentially use as percussive elements for the "River Group" composition. In class, we had discussed the idea of adding harmonies to the drums that will emerge as the river puppet emerges/moves. As we were coming up with drum rhythms, Rachel and I explored various ideas for melodic elements that would fit the ambient atmosphere. We developed a sine wave MIDI instrument and started messing around with some chord progressions, and researched some cool "bubble-like" sounds that could be a nice melodic addition. We also discussed potentially using a flute recording.

This flute recording is a sample that I had recorded previously for a different piece. For this sample, I only played through the head-joint of the flute (the body and foot-joint were not attached) and used cheap earbuds to record, placing them into the head-joint itself. It almost sounds like an airy recorder or something...I'm not really sure how to describe it. The sample can be heard throughout a piece that I composed linked below, first appearing around 0:38. (I did not process it very much in this piece, just kind of threw it in with very minimal adjustments). For the river group people, the raw sample can be found in the "River Peeps" Google Drive folder (if you want to mess around with it at all). In the sample found on the drive, I also have other techniques I used, including very exaggerated vibrato, and singing while playing (which typically creates a buzzy sound underneath/above the note actually being played). Also, I'm awful at naming songs, so please excuse the song title haha.

More Harry Potter inspo

While looking for rhythmic ideas as inspiration for the piece we're working on I remembered another gem - this one's by Patrick Doyle, from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (focusing on the second half of the piece - heavy on percussion.)


As I post this, Jennifer and I are hard at work figuring out how to combine ambient themes with percussive elements, like Laurie Spiegel's "Drums."

Frog Composition ideas

Today's discussions in class got me thinking about more ideas for the frog music. When we were discussing the trees, Ben asked what tree planting music really is. There isn't really any music fit specifically for planting trees, nor is there for frogs, but it made me think about how the music during this scene will create the mood. Since the scene will be rather lighthearted, the music should reflect that. As the lily pads are spinning faster and faster before the frog comes out, the music should build, getting faster and faster as it creates tension. Once the frog emerges, that's when the melody will be introduced. The music will be rather simple at first, and become more complex and interesting as the frog ages. I am not entirely sure how the music and frog sounds will mesh, but once we get the composition and patch more developed we can experiment with it.

Frog Delay Max Patch

I wanted to post the live processing max patch I presented in class today, in case anyone wanted to see how I put it together.
