This was a difficult assignment, partly due to it's open ended nature and partly due to my struggle to nail down what I wanted to do / accomplish with this assignment. From the start, I knew that I wanted to mess around with sampling, additive synthesis and vocoding as it was what engaged me the most during class. However, my initial ideas gradually felt more and more stale to me as the semester went on so it took me a while to get started.
When I finally asked myself what I really wanted to make, I discovered that I actually wanted to make something dumb and light hearted; something I didn't have to pour my soul into and could just laugh at with some friends. So, I downloaded the audio from an episode of a let's play that I'm a fan of, cut it up and sampled it into additive synthesisers to remix it with loops, play around with logic's sculpture synths and generally have a fun go about it. I'm surprisingly chuffed with the outcome, after seeking some help from a few friends who are more well versed in the world of sampling and synthesisers than I am.
