= Final Project: "Computer-Mediated, Audio-visual System for Musical Composition / Performance =

<div style="text-align: left;">[[Image:Greenwave.jpg|1000px]]</div>

You are to craft, compose, and present / perform a "Computer-mediated, Audio-visual music experience"  The deliverables for the final project include:
* milestone presentations
* webpage documenting your system/performance
* a polished video demo


== Due date ==
* milestone 0 ('''in-class, Wednesday, 3/2/2022'''): initial ideas, detailing vision, sound, music, interaction, aesthetics, music technology involved
* milestone 1 ('''in-class, Wednesday, 3/9/2022'''): basic working idea 
* all material ('''website/Canvas Thursday 3/17/2022'''): final project website, final video, description, code, data files, README 
* final showcase: TBD
 
=== Aspect 1: "Computer-Mediated" ===
* must take advantage of the computer in a compelling/non-trivial way
* for example: algorithms!  sound synthesis!  interactive control!  generative systems!

=== Aspect 2: "Audio-Visual" ===
* audio: use/combine techniques we covered in class (synthesis, generative, interaction) or something else; use [http://chuck.stanford.edu ChucK]
* visual: interpret this as you'd like;
** option 1: use [https://processing.org/ Processing] or Chunity for real-time graphics/animation, coupled to audio/ChucK via OSC
** option 2: otherwise involve visuals in a core/non-peripheral way: e.g., design gestures/movement mapped to sound

=== Aspect 3: Aesthetics of Presentation "Fixed Media or <s>Live Performance</s>" ===
* design not only the system (sound, music, interaction, code), but ***design the presentation***, being extremely mindful to have and navigate aesthetics
* aim for 3-7 minute per piece (though your fully designed presentation <s> / live performance</s> can be longer or shorter)
* keep in mind setup/transition time

== Deliverables ==
'''polished documentation on portfolio | upload to canvas

* 0) portfolio-grade video documentation + description
* 1) source code + sound files for your performance
* 2) written documentation (and any program notes / bios)
* 3) the final <s>live performance</s> and polished webpage, including a video presentation.
