Week 4
Task 3 – The Sound Object 2

1. Construct a short piece with Logic exploring the notion of the ‘Sound Object’, using TWO sound sources. You should allocate each of the sounds to the EXS24 sampler and explore a range of playback techniques. Any sources are possible, except for other recorded media – i.e. material on CD, tape, MP3, vinyl etc. 

Create a final mix-down of your piece and save the audio file as ‘Task 3 – Your Name’. You should submit this audio file only in the Drop Box before next Monday’s class. I may ask to look at your project folder (on USB memory-stick) in order to hear the original sounds in isolation.

2. Watch the 50-minute film of Stockhausen’s 1971 lecture ‘Four Criteria of Electronic Music’ which is in the ‘Movies’ folder on the studio computers. Follow this up by listening to the whole of Stockhausen’s work Kontakte, and if you have time read Chapter 3 of Peter Manning’s book Electronic and Computer Music.
