I can't think of any better way to end the semester than to reflect upon the work you've done as a whole over the past several months. Towards that end, the instructions for your last project are pretty simple: you've made a lot of audio this term — either as the final product of a given prompt or as an intermediary step — and I'd like you to remix and reconfigure some or all of that audio to produce a new piece.
You can use entire compositions, strip them down to constituent parts (one easy way to do so: mute certain tracks in your project file and then re-export a new MP3), deconstruct them via cutting/pasting or adding effects (distortion, modulation, filtering, reversing, reverb, etc.) — the sky's the limit — and the only restriction is that you can't add any new material to the final product: you can only work with the audio you've already created/used in some way, shape, or form (raw recordings or source tracks, for example, are okay to use).
Your final pieces should be either MP3s or SoundCloud links and should be sent to me in advance of your workshop day. We'll do a quick two-day workshop without pre-written comments. Here's our final randomized schedule of the term:
- Wednesday, Nov. 25: No Class — Thanksgiving
- Friday, Nov. 27: No Class — Thanksgiving
- Monday, Nov. 30: Hoffman, Haig, Nelson, Roller
- Wednesday, Dec. 2: Edgar, Pieper, Scheifele, Hardcastle
- Friday, Dec. 4: Baxter
N.b.: on Friday, December 4th, we'll set aside some time to talk about your overall experience of the workshop this semester.
