Offline Synthesis: CSound

  • MIT Media Lab, since 1985
  • Engine loads (Ugens and

Instruments) to libraries for Orchestra reader to interpret them

  • + good for making music, huge

community

  • synth. possible, but control logic

should take place on another platform

Assignment due Monday 14.10.13, 11:59:59 pm.

  • Download Sonifyer and Sonification Sandbox
  • Load the Data from Server to Sonify
  • Sonify the data using Sonifyer or Sonification Sandbox
  • Send me your audio file (your sonification) + the answer to the

following questions:

  • Which of the two tools did you chose and why?
  • Are there any patterns that recur? How often? (hours, days, months?)
  • Are there any overall periodicities? (categories of pattern shapes?)
  • Be prepared to show your assignment to every one in the next class for
