Computer Music Finals

Final projects by Digital Arts students came rolling in last week at Stetson University. The videos below are by students in the Fall 2009 version of my course DIGA 461 Computer Music, where undergraduate students learn to use Max/MSP as a platform for exploring sound synthesis, audio processing and algorithmic composition. They are required to not only complete a final research project, but document and share via YouTube. I hope people out there enjoy these as much as I did!

Computer Music Finals

During Fall 2008, I required my Computer Music students to submit a YouTube video documenting their final projects for the first time. The course teaches students to use Max/MSP as a platform for studying fundamental computer music techniques. Having them produce videos was a bit of an experiment, but the final results made it a success. I look forward to doing this in future years.
