Assignment 3: Alt-J

Heyo. For this assignment I decided to play around with the first few seconds of Alt-J’s song Hunger of the Pine. Also, I used Garageband to edit my sample clips, and I uploaded them to iTunes to use them for this project. The video link is right below.

(If you decide to watch all of it, just know that the guy gets shot with arrows in the end incase you don’t want to see that!)

I then uploaded four samples from Max and put them on Soundcloud.

For the first sample, the IR is actually the first note of Hunger of the Pine. This actually creates a smoother version of the piece that actually blends the notes together.

The next sample was one of the balloon popping samples from the back stairwell behind the CFA practice rooms. This also mutes the sound a bit, but it is blended less together compared to the first sample.

The third sample is a voice clip of Link from Nintendo’s Breath of the Wild. You can hear his signature ‘hyah!’ in the beginning of the clip, but it slowly blends in with the rest of the sample, and also creates a sound that reminds me of a rubber ball bouncing on the street.

The last sample is a loud cymbal crash. This sound is the least blended together, and it sounds like it’s playing a from a few rooms over.

Overall a few of my sounds turned out to be pretty similar, but I like how most of it turned out!
