Second round on our first test...

This week I guess quite a few of us did not do so well on our tests in class so we got to have a second round on them.  It was not a re-do on the test, though; just a second go. I feel that I did definitely do better on this rewrite, partly because it became an at home assignment where I felt more comfortable, for sure.

Pierre Schaeffer's 4 delimitations (all used in non-traditional manners):

1. Living elements
2. Noises
3. Modified and prepared instruments
4. Conventional

His 7 values:

1. Mass- organizations of sound in spectral dimensions (placing on frequency level)
2. Dynamic- measureable value
3. Tone quality and timbre
4. Melodic profile- temporal evolution of the total spectrum of sound
5. Profile of Mass
6. Grain- analysis of irregularities of surface of the sound
7. Pace- analysis of the amplified dynamics of the sound (when does become loud/soft)

Harmonic plan- 20---------20K
Dynamic plan- ADSR (envelope of sound)
Melodic plan- pitch + tune over time
