Final Sound Art Project

For your final project you can use any or all of the raw material that you have collected throughout the semester: 

• Inductive coil recordings
• Contact mic recordings
• Arduino sound programs
• Hacked toys turned into strange instruments
• Your own oscillators 
• We also have other materials that you can use - for example you could build a cigar-box amplifier, use multiple small speakers, etc. 

The project is to make some sort of sound art - the specific project and deliverables are up to you. Some examples: 

• You could compose a longer piece of electronic music using your sound clips as source material
• You could make and refine a more complex hacked toy instrument. Along with the instrument you could come up with a "musical" notation that describes how to play the instrument, then compose some music and perform for the class. 
• You could design and build a sound art installation of some sort. This could be portable where you bring it into class, or it could be site-specific where you install the piece in some other location. 
• You could come up with some other type of project - it should involve sound/circuits/noise of some sort. 

As usual - more details are forthcoming. We will discuss all sorts of project ideas in class before you have to decide on one.
