ASSIGNMENT 2. (no specific due date; we'll start listening to
your attempts in 3 weeks, May 4):
Make a rhythmic interpolator, which takes two series of time
intervals as input and makes a series of interpolating series
between them. Here is an example from Manoury's Jupiter: two
rhythms recorded from the flute in this sequence, each with 7 notes
and thus six durations, come back as the booming, sampled sound
here. The result
starts with the initial durations, and makes 16 interpolations
between them (theoretically making 97 notes although there are
apparently only 96). An (impenetrable) patch that does this is in
the Pd Repertory Project.
As another example of interpolations, here is a bit of Xenakis's piece, P/H Concrete. Here is my riff on it.
