Shorts: #12 Columbo (2007)

Titled and commissioned by Jascha Narveson.

I did this with my synthesizer, running pulsewaves through a logic gate and then through a low pass filter. I’ve only really used the logic gate in a piece once before, since I’m not quite sure what it’s useful for, but it does make very square attacks, which can be interesting.

This piece has just one more question, it almost forgot . . .

Shorts: #11 I Agree With T (2007)

Titled and commissioned by Timanna Bennett.

The sounds here were made on my synthesizer. I used a bunch of square waves which have pulse width modulation. This can give a voice-like timbre sometimes. I pass these throught a low pass filter and then a high pass filter, which can theoretically increase the vocal-likeness of the sounds. They didn’t come out very vocal-like, but I think they’re still interesting.
