freqHappening: Showcase of Interactive Electronic Music

On Wednesday June, 4th 2003 students from the CCS Music Course, Interactive Computer Music and Synthesizer Design, held a concert called freqHappening to show off their latest skills. Interactive Computer Music and Synthesizer Design was taught during the Winter and Spring quarters of 2003. As the course title suggests, students learned how to create their own synthesizers from scratch on the computer using a software environment called MAX/MSP. Students then used various types of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) controllers to get information into the computer, allowing them to play their synthesizers. Among other things, MAX/MSP also has the ability to manipulate live sounds or recorded samples, which allows for an almost unlimited amount of sound possibilities.
