Triad Tutor

We had to create an 'Interactive music-related program' in Processing - an open-source programming language similar to Java, but in baby-form - that made use of what we had already done in tutorials, namely Arrays, Object Orientated Programming and using Processing's library plug-in thingies.



I decided to make a program that teaches kids how to build triads in Music. It requires a knowledge of notes in relation to the keyboard, but apart from that is simple enough.

Play it online! (Note - this webpage is really slow for some reason)

Sound Design project



One of my three Winter projects was for Sound Design. We were given a 5 minute clip of Tarkovsky's Mirror and had to create sound effects, ambience etc. I went for a surreal vs. real theme (not sure what that is), and this is what I came up with:

(listen to with headphones or good speakers if poss, and preferably in a darkened room)


I used ProTools (we had to), but mostly used SoundHack for convolution and effects - it produces amazing quality sound files - and Audacity for editing. I enjoyed it.
