cc#1 - Week 6 - score interpretation


This week we had to interpret a picture of an abstract score given to us through email. I thought this would be an interesting experience to see and hear what everyone in the class would come up with. It was.
I started by dividing the score up into 10 sections, and finding, out of my collection, sounds that woul fit the picture.
1st Section:
I could see a moderate crescendo
2nd section:
I used the normalizer on one of my noises that i thought acceptable and made it louder so as to make it fit better.
3rd section:
I thought of this as just a random loud-ish section
4th section:
i used the same sound here as i did for the 2nd sound as i thought they looked the same, i did change the normalizer on this one slightly though.
5th section:
This to me looked scattered, and i had an 'outer space' sound that i thought would fit quite perfectly, so i used that.
6th section:
that was almost like another loud section, although i wanted to make it more prominant than the first loud section.
7th Section:
For this sound i thought it to be also loud, but slightly different, so i chose exactly that; another loud noise that was loud, but different from the one used in the previous section.
8th section:
This was a large loud section, with slight decrescendos in the middle. I had made quite an interesting sound in the previous week using the 'Mooger Fooger', and, slightly modifying it with the normalizer i used that noise.
9th section:
Here i found quite in interesting change in the score, with just a random quiet bit, so i used a paper tear folloing the loud 'MoogerFooger' noise.
10th section:
With the last section there was a simple dounble decrescendo, so i used another noise made by the 'MoogerFooger' to finish this piece off.

Unfotunately on the Mac computers i spent about an hour trying to find the 'Print Screen' button, but no matter what i pressed it would not work, so i was unable to give you a picture of the actualy score, which is extremely frustrating for me!
Overall i had fun working with this score.
