.: Music Composition :.
| In this lab, I worked with functions that allowed me to play musical notes at various volumes for differing amounts of time. At the end of the lab, I was able to use these functions to recreate (from memory) a portion of the song 'Greensleeves.' This web page also includes work done in lab on a previous day, during which I added echo to sounds and altered their frequencies. | ||
Original Sounds |
New Sounds |
|
| In this function, I used the 'echoes' function to add multiple echoes to two sounds. The sounds I chose, someone saying 'ah' and a bassoon playing the note 'c' are both long, largely unchanging sounds. This makes it difficult to notice the echoes until the very end of the sound, when the echoes fade away one by one. | ||
| For these sounds, I used the 'shift' function to duplicate a sound and double the new sounds' frequencies. This has created a sound that is twice as fast (and therefore half as long), and at a higher pitch than the original. For this function, I used a bassoon playing the note 'e' and 'g.' | ||
n/a |
This portion of the song 'Greensleeves' was created with my 'returnGreensleeves' function. In this function, groups of notes and note durations are combined into bars, returned as variables, appended, and finally returned again in the correct order for this segment. | |
