Objective:

Create a multi-sectional texture of bird sounds via sfplay~.

Specific Requirements:

1. Your piece/environment should have 4 sections in which the advance from section to section is controlled by the space bar on the computer keyboard.

2. Each section must contain at least 4 different bird soundfiles and you must use atleast 12 different soundfiles for the piece.

3. At least 2 of the sections must have a sustained pedal sound throughout most of their duration. This should be chosen from Absynth patches.

4. In some or all of the sections the bird sounds should be looped.

5. Your interface must have a means of stopping all audio and starting at any section. There should be a display indicating what section is playing and which is next to be performed.

6. EXTRA CREDIT: Utilize sound location within the stereo field as an element within the piece.

Format:

1. Patch labeled "The Birds" in a folder within your folder on the hard drive. This folder must also contain the soundfiles.
2. Patch must be user friendly and include instructions to the user as to how the patch works (from the perspective of the user).

Grading:

Will be based on the workability and economy of the patch.
