The students created an album of 5 children's nursery rhyme songs by translating music sheets into codes that generated sine waves to play the notes. They labeled each note with a number and parameters like frequency, duration, and amplitude to programmatically produce the melodies. Translating standard music notation into precise sine wave settings and organizing the settings into a musical composition were challenges addressed in the project.

Tasks
What we did
Create an EP length album (Single artist or cohesive genre)
Each track contains at least 16 bars of notes
The melody of the music is created through programmatically
generated sine waves
5-6 Full length tracks (at least 1 and a half minutes of music)

Artist statement
Composer Geek Project Artist statement
For this project we decided to do a selection of Childrens nursery rhymes. My partner and I did a total of 5 songs.The songs we did
were:Yankee Doodle, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Rock-A-Bye- Baby, If Youre Happy and You Know It and Old Macdonald. We decided
to do these songs because theyre easy to recognize and we thought it would be fun. We had to translate our music sheets into codes
that we would later put into our processor. The codes created music by simulating the frequency and duration. Frequency was
important because if you input the wrong frequency it could completely change the way your music played. The order of our notes was
important because we labeled each note with a number and that's how we would know which note was playing. Each note has a
name, if you type the wrong name you'll get the wrong sound which will result in your song being wrong. The dynamic markings
basically helped us figure out whether our song was loud, soft, or medium. It was important because some songs are really soft and
some are really loud, if you put a soft marking on a loud song it would sound significantly different.
