Aurora (2008) by Steve Layton
Piano, treated recording. The underlying track is a heavily processed recording of Eugène Ysaÿe's solo violin Sonata #5, 1st movement, "L'aurore". I just let the sound guide the composition, in a kind of free association.

Bubu (Dr. Boulanger's Class Assignment)
Bubu (Dr. Boulanger's Class Assignment)
This is for Dr. Boulanger's berklee class. The assignment was to create a pop sequence using only the catalog sounds in under six hours. I used Reason and Recycle to make this.
This composition is based around a sample of Paris Smaragdis' piece "Slingpling". I chopped the audio using recycle and looped a portion of it. After introducing the sample, drums (cut from Josep M Comajuncosas bdrum instrument, newsnare, newcymbal and newgoofyperc, from the mikelson collection) enter.

Cetacean Composacean
This is my midterm project for Dr. B's class at Berklee. It's a one minute notelist composition. I didn't know about score tricks when I wrote it, so it was tediously entered in one section.
One of the instruments in the piece won't work without an audio sample, but the website won't let me upload it :/

Expredict
This is my 6 hour International Catalog Competition project for Dr. B's class.
I used instruments from the Byrne, Comajuscosas, Hoffman, Lyon, Mikelson, Miranda, Risset, and Varga collections.
I rendered all of these and then cropped my favorite parts of them in Peak. After that I used MetaSynth to pitch shift down some of the percussive sounds. I created Kontakt instruments with the samples and sequenced the song in Logic.
I got a White Reese's as a prize because I won the competition although I think Rob's song was better than mine
Rob, I think you should have won

ThatsAhNice
This little piece was composed for Dr. Richard Boulanger's Csound class at Berklee College of Music for the Spring '08 semester. The criteria for this composition were as follows:
1) the piece must be started and finished within 6 hours.
2) only sounds from the Csound catalog can be used.
3) any host software and plugins can be used.
4) try to make it pop-friendly.
That's pretty much it. I used the following Csound instruments:
1) 02_01_7 - 1 Gather Amsterdam Catalog
2) 03_01_1 - 1 Gather Amsterdam Catalog
3) analog1 - 1 Mikelson Collection
