Week 4 - Forum - Presentations

This week's presentations were felt shorter than last week's. The first one was this really interesting program that lets you record some samples and will manipulate the sound as soon as you record it, and you can keep recording new sounds. It's made more interesting as the guy who presented his program actually used mics to speak with us behind some screen (because he needs to record).

Another presentation was of this composition for the Arts festival. The purpose of the piece is to accompany a picture exhibition (in the festival) so that the people who visit the gallery feels as if they enter a different realm and not just see the pictures for a few seconds before leaving. It is a really nice concept and done nicely.

The last two presentations were of different sounds that can be made of a guitar (not necessarily plucked or strummed). The first one was interesting, as it feels like it's building up pretty nicely. Despite that, the presenter was not really confident with the piece that he just fast-forwarded most parts. I thought it was great.

The last one was a similar thing, but of a more commercial sound and there is a visual accompaniment to the sound, as it shows how is the piece done.
