Research and choose an audio composition that samples at least one preexisting recording/song. Find the original source. Create a new 2-3-minute audio track using samples from both sources. The piece you submit should be uniquely yours. I.e.: you must contribute to the previous works to create something new. How are you highlighting and/or subverting the original sources to create new meaning?

A chance-based composition constructed using submissions of one audio sample per student, placed in a timeline sequentially according to the timestamp of each submission.

Creative Prompt:
Create an audio file within your DAW that is 20 seconds or less. Consider your audio submission to be a self-portrait. What sound(s) best describe you? Any sound contribution is acceptable. The audio used can incorporate samples and/or it can be made by you using your voice, instruments, or objects. Students are encouraged to use this opportunity to explore basic navigation and audio effects within their chosen DAW.
