Looking back on the past six months, I realized just how many slides I had to make for my senior year of high school. Two for our underdeveloped senior project, and then another one for my calculus AB course. Might as well post some of the nicer ones.
Title slide for a presentation on music…
I found some music I made about four years ago using pens, a broken telephone, and a Game Boy.
This one was the first, using the phone and some pens:
More phone music:
And then this one uses a Game Boy, and was probably heavily edited in…
Something I’ve been playing with. The basses and my snare drum need some work, but otherwise this is turning out alright.
Something I drew for a project I’m working on over the summer. I created some much more awesome colorful geometric shapes while I was playing around, but I think this’ll suit my needs best.
Some quotes from a recently released speech given by Dieters Rams in 1976 that I liked.
I am convinced that a well-thought-out design is decisive to the quality of a product. A poorly-designed product is not only uglier than a well-designed one but it is of less value and use. Worst of all it…
I might as well start posting some of my numerous older GarageBand projects sometime, so here’s this. Like Sweden Alone, I borrowed part of it for Didot, namely the bass drum pattern. That’s what those weird BWEW BWEW noises two and a half minutes into Didot are supposed to sound like, although the…
Just something I started working on in my spare time. Getting less experimental here.
I’ve had this sketch in my notebook for around a year and a half now. I’ve been meaning to vectorize it but never got around to it! Looking back on it, the stroke weight is all over the place and it looks pretty crazy, but its ridiculous patterns and geometric forms kind…
While sifting through files on my server, I came across something I had developed for a friend who wanted to host some computer science contests for people at my school. This was two years ago, just before I learned about using grid systems for layout (I know, right?). Surprisingly, the site is pretty amazing for…
Before I started working with SuperCollider for my senior project, I had actually composed some stuff in GarageBand (stop making that face at me!). Probably the best thing I’d composed was this piece called Sweden Alone:
You can actually hear some of the melodies from here recycled in my piece
For my senior project I was making music with the SuperCollider audio synthesis language. Quite a few people showed interest in hearing my final piece (which I’ve titled Didot, after the typeface), so here it is:
The first and last two minutes are this avant-garde type of sound, while the middle…
A few years ago I realized that I needed a place of my own to share some music and things I was working on with my friends. About a year ago I started sketching the initial designs for this blog, and after nine months of development here it is! The layout is a little peculiar,…
