Project:   Sound Machine

A possible Project One. Feel free to use this idea if you do not want to develop your own individual project.

Sound Machine, Performance and Score - Create a sound machine (using our definition of a machine) that creates a variety of sounds. This can be created out of anything. This can be a physical object, or a virtual machine. Write a 1 minute composition for your machine and be prepared to play it for the class. The score for your composition must be written on paper and presented at the time of your performance. The methodology you use should make sense to you and your machines capabilites. You will be graded on the aesthetics of your machine, performance and written score. A photograph of the machine, a one minute recording of your composition and a digital image of your written score should be burned to CD. Include all source materials, notes, sketches and documentation on the CD in a folder labeled "Source."
