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

Specification

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, sound, and also use in an ensemble setting
craft a very short piece for your instrument, describe/score it, turn in with assignment
each person should turn in their own instrument - however, working together is highly encouraged!
feel free to use any combination of keyboard, mouse/trackpad, joystick, gametrak, and any other input device

ChucK audio programming language
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 Sunday (4/6) at 3pm, CCRMA classroom
