b) I made all the sounds with my violin. This video shows first sounds that have low frequencies then high specific frequencies, then sliding double stops and finally screeching that almost has energy in all ranges. It also shows my volume meter and peak volume switch (a brief red flash).

a) a visual representation of granular synthesis. This is a lot of rectangles of random size, color and location. The ones near the mouse are magnified. As the size of the rectangles gets
larger, they appear to go faster. moving the mouse around seems to move the image but all the rectangles stay still. Motion is implied by changing the range of random size in certain areas.

Ugly then heavenly sounds using additive synthesis. The first is ugly and uses about 70 randomly tuned oscillators at equal volumes. The second part has four oscillators tuned to a chord with randomly pitched oscillators being added and removed by an LFO.

my sound story. An alien invasion. I used many layers of funny whistling noise, a contact mic held on a drill and inside a boot, and an electric violin for ray gun sounds.
