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)

• File:Bibi2.mp3

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 modules with a code in this files:

• Link to Arduino 101
• Link to Arduino 101-LFP
