Session 1
With Denis de Bel. Quick link to wiki
Building a module
We built a synth that can receive samples
My samples
(Israeli prime minister Bibi in his after election speech)
Session 2
Workshop at De Player with Olli Aarni and this is pad
My random notes
- Open string phenomenon: Something that seems to have limited options but actually has more (one hand on the string and one hand on the pitch)
- When you don't control your instrument, how can you still effect it (like the raindrops falling on tin- you don't control the rain but you can control the material it lands on for example)
- Natural generators (example: the lava lamps next to each other, each with different number of bubbles)
- A thought- what make a certain sound iconic? like the kindergarden sound- kids screaming+running on the ground+the voice of the teacher= the kindergarden sound. Like a recipe, all these sound together create a complete other sound and they can function on their own as well.
- A name- a short sound that you were trained to respond to.
- In language- sound that are toward the inside (me) and sounds that are toward the outside (you, he, she)
- I want to expand on- structure of languages.

Session 3
Americ: the Arduino environment is pretty limited because every module can do a limit amount of actions. The coding language commands a lot of the time contain a lot of command inside.
Simpler way to upload a sample
In terminal:
- go to the folder where the files are
- pull from git if needed
- use sox with this command: ./<name of sh file> <name of wav file> (this runs this code on the sound file)
- this create a sample.h from the sound file
- Now you have a new sample.h file
Arduino environment
serial.begin(9600)- the number is number of symbols in a sec.
serial.print- will show the output
void loop(){ everything inside that will loop
delay(1000)- will give a delay of 1 sec
In class
- We reviewed some loop commands in the code
- We tried to affect each other's modules with a code in this files:
Session 4
Monday+Friday sessions The Friday session really helped with some deeper understanding regarding how to work with the module.
