Smartphone Sound Design

November 20th, 2017

In the Fall 2017 semester, I introduced my DIGA 365 students to Eurorack hardware synthesizers. As a way to explore these devices, I added a new project that required students to design sounds for a smart phone, including a ringtone, social media alert, and messaging. Most students found it fun to take control of these sounds on the devices they use everyday. Some of the results were more imaginative, with the students even adding office ambience to fill out the video. You can hear results of these projects in the following video:
