Assignment 5 for Wednesday, September 14

Please come prepared to perform in class for at least one minute. You can play with an instrument, or the laptop can be your instrument; you will need a patch that makes sound, that you can control. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it has to work. You can perform either solo, or as a duo - nothing larger, at least not yet. Audio is required, but if you like you can use video as well.

Your performance can be improvised, but you need to have some kind of plan for what will happen. If you can't get something working after one minute I will have to give you a bad grade.

You can either use the desktop Mac closest to the sound controls (the "teacher workstation") or you can use your own laptop. The audio cable for the Camil loudspeakers is digital; it works with Mac laptops, but you should test it with your own machine to make sure it works, before the performance. If you want to use a mic, you will need to download the driver for the Saffire firewire audio interface, available here:

Please rehearse before class, especially if you want to use a mic! Because our mics are locked, I'll have to open the cabinet for you, so we'll have to find a time together. Right before class won't work, because Prof. Carrillo teaches class.

This is meant for you to have fun, but there is a little bit of pressure because it has to work: I'm trying to get us ready for live performances. Good luck and have fun!
