MU2300 Matt Puentes Final Project

Matthew Puentes This is my final project for MU2300. My final project involved using a computer algorithm to generate parts of the song, and than arranging those parts myself in Garageband. I then took those arranged parts and added instrumentation to give the music more depth. I also added several effects to balance the sounds more. I chose to do this because I felt that it encompassed well all the skills i learned in this class, as well as letting me explore algorithmically generated music, which is an interest of mine. The most challenging part of the assignment was creating the music via the algorithm, as often times it results in songs that aren’t very pleasant to listen to. I goat around this by tweaking the parameters and generating large batches of music to sift through so that I could piece together the final MIDI.
