Week 3 Creative Computing - SPEARing the paper samples

Alien Jazz

• Start with paper rubbing sample
• Rectangles were transposed and shifted to form dense tones
• Tones were dragged around to create "melody"
• Overall pitch lowered
• Sculpted existing sound to cut treble

Alien Barn Dance

• Original sample was a piece of paper being flapped
  
• Selected each flap individually and changed it's pitch using the transpose tool so the pitch increases
• Selected a chunk of audio and used transpose to turn it into a dense rectangle. Copied and pasted square and moved it to create chirping melody.
• Created synthy pad by timestretching the last flap
• Copied and pasted entire document and transposed down then moved up
• Coped and pasted entire document again and selected and rhythmically displaced frequency bands
• Copied and pasted bass hits creatively

Alien Spew

• Began with short snippet and timestretched it
• Dragged parts up and down to change pitch

Alien Greeting

• I did similar stuff to alien spew
• More copying and pasting and pitch shifting to create blips

Alien Rainforest

• Transposed all the audio down
• Cut time gaps in it to make a stuttering effect
• Selected all the audio, copied and pasted it and timestretched it to be shorter/faster
• Dragged these copies into different frequency bands at different times over the original

Alien Desert Winds

• Cut down into the audio using lasso to make a filter sweep
• Dragged rectangles of audio around to make high pitched drones
• Boosted lower frequencies
