Coursera Improv Assignment #2

My first disquiet junto piece! I've been meaning to do one for a while, but have never found the time.

Process:
I designed this piece to have two "climaxes", one about two thirds, and one right near the end. It is an exploration of "space", with heavy use of panning, EQ, and reverb. Over the arc of the piece, it also moves from generally "high" sounds to generally "low" sounds, and a "density" which goes from low to high and back to low again.

For the one sound [69663], I reversed the sound, and made significant use of the "tail" to create a building effect, and using the end of the primary horn sound (but backwards) to create a little punctuation. I also used an increasingly large pitch shift (by a few cents, and then semitones) to increase dissonance at the climax.

500 Miles High (Week 4)

Another round of recordings of me sampling and processing a Allen Fogelsanger playing the piano, live. Recorded with a Zoom H2, so not the best recording quality, but it'll do! All pieces improvised and invented on the spot.

Piano + Sampled Piano Duo recordings from 2/19. The speakers on the laptop for this one are not the best sounding, but it's something.
