Project #1: Create A New SLOrk Instrument

Due dates:

In this project, you are to create a laptop orchestra instrument for a single hemispherical speaker array.

design and create a new instrument for laptop and a single hemispherical speaker array!
use ChucK to create/implement the instrument
should take advantage of the multi-channel aspect (or have a good reason to not do that)
consider issues of playability, expressiveness, embodiment of sound, and also use in an ensemble setting
craft a short musical statement (1-2 minutes) for your instrument, describe/score it, and perform it in class
each person should turn in their own instrument/performance - however, working together is highly encouraged!
feel free to use any combination of keyboard, mouse/trackpad, gametrak, joystick, and any other input device

ChucK audio programming language (download this!)
S.M.E.L.T. toolkit for mapping keyboard, mouse, joystick to sound
come to the tutorial on ChucK and S.M.E.L.T. on Friday (4/6) at 4pm, CCRMA ballroom.
feel free to start experimenting and prototyping on your own, but you'll want to get into the listening room and work with an actual hemi speakers
two full station will be set up in the CCRMA Listening Room.
