Wrote a song using Earsketch, using sound bites and Python!
Earsketch is a pretty simple tool to use. You mainly need to use a function in Python called fitMedia, that lets you play a sound bite for a certain amount of time. For example:
fitMedia(Y19_BEAT_2, 1, 1, 7)
Will play the Y19 beat on track 1 for 6 measures. You can use loops, conditionals, and some external python libraries, as well as more complicated functions like makeBeat to make even better sounding and more complex and rich music!
This quarter was mostly spent focusing on Earsketch, and learning how to us it to effectively make music. Using it to view the similarities between code and music helped me to learn a lot more about both, and to become a better music artist and programmer.
