I created this track using 5 samples from the recordings we did in class.  With each recording I either stretched or shrunk the track while also adding duplicates.  After that I changed the gain and normalized some of the sounds to make it sound clean and crisp.  The main samples I used was the mixer spoon in which I tried to change to resemble a power saw.

I used audacity to create this track.  I used full steps and ha;f steps to make an ambient sounding sine wave song.  The lowest   was 90 while the highest was 840.  I alternated closely related sound waves to make it almost reverb and wavy.

I made this song using 5 different samples, two of which was my name repeated.  The other 3 samples are of me breathing heavily as well as talking through the mic.  I changed up the patterns multiple times to make it diverse.

I used granular sampling to edit about 30 seconds of the wild hunt by tallest man on earth.  I utilized the reverse, grain duration, and transpose effects to chop the sound up and make it sound lower and higher.

I used supercollider to make this song. I utilized Pseq, duration, tranpose, and degree the most to make my song sound like a real hero by college youth.

For the final project, my podcast centered around ambient music and the influence it has on other genres that a revery popular today.  I made this track using only ardour and included songs that I felt shared many similarities with ambient music.  Enjoy!
