Introduction to Programming for Musicians	

Hello fellow ChucKers, Musicians, and Listeners

You are going to hear music of the November 2013 Finals of the Introduction to Programming for Musicians and Digital Artists eight weeks course introduced by Ajay Kapur of CaLARTS (California Institute of the Arts) delivered as a MOOC format through coursera. 

The  music  you will hear is entirely programmed solely with computers with the use of the miniAudicle (DAW) [1.3.3.0©Ge Wang and Perry Cook] http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/

All chuck programs (music) were written by student learners on the course. At the end of each week we had to submit our programs to be listened to and evaluated by our peers. 

Through that process I managed to download 749 tunes. Alone on the last, 8th week, they were 430, it took me three full nights, one after the other, to listen to and to evaluate them. When I liked a piece of music or when I was impressed by a composition I kept it. 

I did the course so that I could write my on backing for guitar. But little did I know that this awesome, wonderful and exciting and exhilarating music would fall into my hands.  

So, please let me say my thanks because I feel gratitude towards my fellow peers whose music I appreciate so much. Thank you all, my chucKers!!!  Xoxox

Some technical details: 

You will hear 62 different separate tunes; the music is in mono (sorry!) although mixed down as stereo because I just simply don’t know how to get a chuck file into Cubase. It’s okay for me, though. I’m going to use these sounds as a backing for my guitar playing and at a performance it’s all coming out of a single speaker amplifier, anyway. 

I recorded the chuck music with a looper and then play it into the DAW, making hardly any changes. I only let each piece play twice and overlapped the music where appropriate and adjusted the volume of course, that’s all.   

For chucKers only:  

I had prepared eight written phrases for the evaluation process because I didn’t have the time to think of new, down to the smallest detail, praises or critic. Then for three nights in a row I copied and pasted my way through 430 peers. Each single one of you got all full six marks from me. I was greedy and I wanted as many brilliant tunes as possible. 

After all that, I had 749 tunes. Then the “next” project started by listening to all of my new downloads in peace, without pressure. It started really well, hearing all these brilliant and breathtaking tunes, I was impressed. I marked up over 70 of them as really outstanding exceptional pieces of music. Then on the contrary, after hearing all those out-of-this-world tunes, the others sounded suddenly bland, dull, and even naff* in comparison. 

So, I recorded 62 tunes, in no particular order, on Cubase. Each tune (1 min) is between 1 min 30 sec and 1 min and 54 sec long. I let all of the tunes play twice at the appropriate section and I let each tune blend and morph into another whenever musically possible. Although, there are some exceptions where I mixed two originals to run and play together, for a more interesting and exciting sound. 

There is much more to say of course but for the moment I leave it here   ...  ah yes, my girlfriend said: “Some pieces sound scary but, in all, it’s calming and relaxing.”  

Now to business: 

If YOU like any particular tune as a single unit, I’ll send that one file to YOU for a very small fee (how much do you get paid in your job for 10 min?) 

The next offer is for You as a chucker. When You are interested in one of the programs, I’ll send all the required files for that particular tune. The pricing is the same as above but as You know,  in order to play one tune You need as a minimum at least four written files, some have as many as 15. 

And as You also know, each of the files You can alter and get completely different sounds out of them, without You having to write a completely new one from scratch. If You prefer to sit there and write your own stuff great, then spend, by all means, 4-6 hours for one file that may or may not be a brilliant sound.  

If YOU are like me, having lots of great sounds then pls get in touch with me and maybe we can swap. But if you prefer, I pay YOU for your efforts.  

When YOU recognise your own tune on this recording (album), pls get in touch with me also, that would be a great honour.

*naff   Adj. 1. Unfashionable. Thought to have originated within the language of Polari. [1960s]
2. Rubbishy, useless, of poor quality, unappealing.

[A dictionary of slang - "N" - English slang.  http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/n.htm]


British slang, describes something that is stupid, lame or unpalatable. 
That party was naff — they ran out of beer, and the people were way too uptight. 


Today meaning uncool, tacky, unfashionable, worthless... or as a softer expletive, in places where one might use "fuck" as in "naff off", "naff all", "naffing  about". 


Origins of the word are disputed, but it appears to have come from Polari (gay slang), used to dismissively refer to heterosexual people. It was introduced as a less offensive expletive verb ("naff off") in the '70s UK television show, Porridge. "Naff off!" was famously used by Princess Anne in 1982. 

Naff the naffing naffers. 

[Urban Dictionary, August 17: nose brunch http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=naff]
