Individual Project: Joshua Brown

For my individual project, I explored the art of delay.

I wrote a piece for flute, viola, and double bass featuring a good amount of rhythmic pizzicato, exported it as a MIDI, and then played around with Logic’s Delay Designer in order to create a rather synergetic piece which maximized areas of the original while still keeping the flavor in-tact. In addition to that, I put together a small cavernous back-track to give the piece a little more sonic dimension. To cap it all off, I included a synthesized voice repeating the phrase “let’s all have meaningless sex and meaningless children,” which has been stuck in my head for a while.

In performance, I brought the piece’s individual parts together in MAX and created a pretty simple spatialization element, to make the piece a little more dynamic.
