The '''EAMIR Software Development Kit''' allows users to build their own custom composition and performance applications for use with just about any control interface. This kit contains modular pieces of working code that, when strung together, quickly enable users to modify existing [[EAMIR]] applications or creative brand new ones sharing similar functionality. [[EAMIR]] is an open-source music technology project involving alternate controllers, sensors, and adaptive instruments to facilitate music composition, performance, and instruction through a collection of interactive music systems. The [[EAMIR]] software apps have been implemented in classrooms, including special needs and disabilities populations, research projects, and composition/performance environments.

This gives way for the use of just about any digital control interface, Wiimotes®, keyboards, iPhones®, to be used as a composition and performance tool. Creating custom software is ideal for making applications that focus on a few musical skill sets for your users or for designing software to work with a specific control interface.

My Final Project-Original Composition

My composition aims to display some of the things I have learned during my time taking this course, such as synthesis, use of effects, etc. The drums in the composition were made with a combination of real sounds and samples. This coupled with the use of heavy compression makes for a listening experience that makes it sound like the bass is drowning out the drums every time a kick is made. I also copied that same drum track and crushed it down to 12 bits to give the track a rough glitchy sound when layered over the original drum track. A string pad along with a chorus sample also come and go throughout the composition to add a more melodic change to some of the track. There is also a point where these two tracks pan to the right and left side and slowly come back to the front, creating an additive affect for the listener.
