Title: 220b HW 1

Synthesized from the ground up, FM style. I learned a lot about FM synthesis since I went to school for a while at the same place where FM synthesis was born…they’re pretty into that over there. This piece was a homework assignment, of which I cannot recall the premise or rules prescribed to it. I say this is synthesized ‘from the ground up’ because not only are all sounds synthesized by code that I wrote, but all sequencing as well is running off of code that I wrote.
If I had to (I don’t), I’d call it a cross between Paul Lansky (maybe Chowning) and Autechre.
“Paul Lan-who?” you say? Radiohead, Idiotheque, guugle it (it’s good).
And there’s your fun fact for the day.
Sounds + programming done in Chuck.
