After playing with PD's audio example A-F, I was intrigued by the "fusion" one. I started playing with the pitches and different arrangements of outputs and overtones. The idea of making sinusoids is completely foreign to me. To my ear, it was more pleasant when the pitch below middle c was lower, however, I think it is interesting that the harmonics can reach such a high pitch. This is something that computers can simulate and that fascinates me. This is keeping on the theme of periodical music in a series of harmonically tuned sinusoids. The definition of a sinusoid it the sine wave or sinusoid is a mathematical function that describes a smooth repetitive oscillation. I think this is so interesting that it is all mathematical functions, and that sound travels in waves. Everything is so related. It is our job to find the themes.

Final Project_Liuyi

At the last three weeks of this semester, Mr. Panago introduced us a new video editing software Adobe After Effects. Adobe Premiere, which is also mainly for video editing that I explored in midterm project, is generally employed to arrange the order of videos, cut and put transitions, it is also capable of doing basic DVD authoring. While After Effects can edit video footage in much the same way as Premiere, it is designed specifically to work with video layering, compositing, effects and animation. Basically as what it states in its name, it is used for "Effects".Of course Premiere can also do these things but After Effects has a slightly different workflow that makes them easier. After Effects also tends to have better quality effects, etc (Source: http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/compare/aftereffects-vs-premiere.html ). Strong interest in editing videos drove me to discover Adobe After Effects as final project. To explore its two-dimension animated picture making functio
