Three 6 Mafia - Stay Fly [wmv]

i am in the airport. luckily with dopamine coursing through my brain (oh coffee) and the internet to keep me awake. it is the most surreal shit. everything is closed.. people are camped out in the main lobby. my cabbie was sketchy: “i will not turn on the meter. you and i will discuss when we get there yes?” early flight = wack. transit strike = really wack.

see most of you soon. merry christm er, happy holidays.

I’ve promised to several of you that I would post all my compositions for my electronic music class once I was done, so here they are. Each was generated entirely from source code I wrote in a language called SuperCollider, the basic building blocks of which are unit generators: oscillators of various sorts, basic analog filters like highpasses and combs, and disk buffers. Please excuse the glaring compositional flaws if you’re just listening casually–I’m definitely an amateur when it comes to making music–though any criticism is greatly appreciated.

Composition 2 (with Creative Commons’d vocal samples from ccMixter)
Composition 3
Final Composition (featuring, somewhere in the fray, the lovely voice of J.M. Hicks)

…might have been a better title for my final paper for Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. It was a hell of a lot of fun to write. I’d like to know what you guys think.

Some highlights from the research:

Interview with Laura Huxley
Zig Zag Zen

So, for a project in Greek Literature, I was to create a playlist or soundtrack to meet the dynamics of “The Odyssey.” I based the following on emotions of both Odysseus and Penelope, either metaphorically through lyrics or by emotional tone.
