The Task

  • Ensure you have a working knowledge of at least one of the methods mentioned during the project.

  • You may undertake any project you wish using one of the technologies discussed during this part of the course, but you need to discuss this with the course tutor.

  • An example, the default project would be to prepare a comprehensive 'on-line' tutorial for the method, including descriptions, parameters and examples. Including published samples and an extended creative example of your own.

  • Include a small creative example of use of the patch and an audio demo of this.

  • Please ensure that, in as far as you are able, your patches work immediately they are opened. If your patch or patches use audio files, include short samples that are 'preloaded', (but also include methods for loading user samples, too). Include functioning presets.

  • Added value
    By completing the details of the task you will achieve at least a pass mark. By imaginatively and creatively considering how you might implement the task originally you can add value to your submission, and this added value may increase your mark significantly. Even when making videos of short demonstration tasks try to consider musical and performance criteria.

Finally

  • Compress (zip) your patches, demos, etc. into one file called your_student_number_"microsound" (e.g. 0504335_microsound.zip), include a readme with your name and student number and, if necessary, how to use or just open the patch.

  • Submit a copy of the files to the i-Centre on Monday 19th December 2016.

The Projects

The projects and tasks are designed to help you through the various courses and materials that you'll have to deal with, and also to provide an active and practical element to what could otherwise become a rather dry and technical exercise. Tasks are small exercises - you may be asked to complete one or two per week. Projects are larger and carry a higher percentage of the mark. We will undertake two, three, four or more projects and tasks. The final project is usually an individual choice project, and will be worth significantly more than the others in terms of percentages in your portfolio. We will usually try to set aside a time to perform the projects in a public setting.
