This time I used the Mac program Garageband. Personally I don't play any instrument, so I found that it is pretty hard for me to make a melody. Hence, I first randomly punch on the key using Garageband. Than I find a sequence that I like and start repeating it or make it longer or shorter. faster and slower. I enjoyed the process of making. I hope next time I can create a melody that are not single note.

List of Numbers - Population
I decided to use the numbers of growing population of the world. I find that this number is attractive to me because it is growing so quick. I never think that there is average of 146 baby born every minute. Therefore I decided to make a sound piece that is based of the growing rate of population of the world. Since the project requirement is 3 to 5 minutes, I record the growing rate from the web Population Clocks and record the following number for 3 minutes on March 17, 2008 at 8pm. I find that in 3 minutes there are 439 babys born. I found a sound clips from Sound Ideas Series 6000 of a baby crying, and repreated it for 439 times. I used eight track in eight layers. I run it for 3 minutes. Listen to sound piece from below

Max midi Machine
I am interested in how music affected heartbeat. Hence, I made a program using Max/Msp to generate two sound loops. One sound loop is to speed up heartbeat while the other is slowing down. I scale is based on my reaction to the two sound loops. It may vary with different people. There are four channels in the fast sound loop, and there are six channels in he slow sound loop. I think that fast and high pitch sound will make people nerves, so the heartbeat will faster. Slow and mid tone sound will clam people. Therefoore, Fast sound loop is stronger and louder, and slow sound loop is softer and slower.
The program screen shot are below:
