Playing around with soundation.com

[firecat]

Soundation.com is a web app that's kind of like GarageBand. There are several account tiers. The free account lets you use around 600 recorded loops and MIDI instruments, but you can't record anything of your own into it. I have the free account.

As an assignment for the course I was taking on digital sound design, I created a one-minute composition. I also created a few other pieces, ranging from 45 seconds to 2 minutes. They are here for your listening pleasure/amusement, in no particular order. The last one ("Behind Door Number Three") is the one I submitted for the assignment, but it's not my favorite. The assignment had a lot of parameters and I found it difficult to accommodate all of them in a one-minute piece.

This one requires headphones for the full effect.

I really like these! (Track 4 didn't load.) Could tell you were having fun with the second one. They'd all be great for expressive dancing and for going in the kinds of experimental directions I like.
