Take Me To The Bottom Of The Church River

Here's my Single Track Edit project for MUSC 9.

Unsettled

Etude 1 for MUSC 9, programmed in Ardour.

Returning

This is my final project for MUSC 9 Intro to Electronic Music at SCU. This was performed live in class on my electric cello, assisted by pre-coded Supercollider sections that I triggered during the performance. Here is my score in Supercollider:

//Final Outline
//Justin DePalatis

//Mixer volume as shown on image

Server.default.makeGui;
//Start Reverb
(
{
	var snd = SoundIn.ar([0, 1]);
	snd = FreeVerb.ar(
		in: snd,
		mix: 0.5,
		room: 0.9,
		damp: 0.5
	);
}.play;
)

s.record;
//Start Delay

(
{
	var snd = SoundIn.ar([0, 1]);
	snd = snd + CombN.ar(
		in: snd,
		maxdelaytime: 1,
		delaytime: 0.7,
		decaytime: 15
	);
}.play;
)


//Start "Lush Texture"

Robot Space Celli

I was playing around with an original song, and realized that I could fit my favorite Christmas carol into the chord structure.

Have I Always

All credit for the lyrics and song arrangement goes to Copeland. (I was just listening to my previous cover, and I realized I really wanted to pan some stuff, so there you go).
