We have been hard at work preparing for our June 2 concert at Knight Memorial Library. Featuring new pieces by local composer Forrest Larson, our teacher and composer/performer Sakiko Mori, and two pieces by CMW student Liam Hopkins, this is a concert not to be missed!

 

We started to work on a new project.

First, we sat in a circle and made a recording of our voices.

Then we each took this recording to make new pieces, using LogicPro.

Here are the 6 directions for the piece that we made:

1. The length of the piece will be no shorter than 1 minute & no longer than 3 minutes

2. No use of pre-made (by someone else) sounds

3. Use at least 3 different sounds, including 1 new live recording

4. Make this piece “rhythm/beat oriented”

5. Include at least 1 peak point in the piece

6. Don’t loop everything, but repeat something

And here are the pieces!!!
