List of Numbers Assignment

Just hot off the heels of MaxMSP assignment, I was asked this week to do a composition based on a list of numbers. What I eventually settled upon was reciting pi to 150 decimal places.

What I did for this piece was record each number separately and arrange them in Audacity. After that, I changed the tempo of the composition as well as add a WahWah, Echo, and Reverb filter. I also faded out the last five digits at the end to try and imply that, since pi is an irrational number, a sense that piece could never really end.

To be honest, aside from my pronunciation of six and nine (which could use improvement), I don't have much to say about this piece.
