I got up a little later this morning but still had time for a good walk and some exercise at the gym. It was quite chilly out this morning; I'm going to have to start wearing more than a t-shirt and short pants, I guess.
I finished my first assignment for my class, Programming for Musicians and Digital Artists. It's a simple 4-part harmonization of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". That may sound pretty easy, but I had to start with pretty basic things: simple oscillators (producing sine, triangle, sawtooth, or square waves), and we were limited to the programming concepts and structures that have already been introduced in the lectures. I ended up using 5 sine oscillators and one sawtooth oscillator. By using "for" loops I was able to create crescendi and decrescendi (gradual increases and decreases in the volume level, respectively). The final result sounds pretty good but, of course, very electronic and synthesized (because it IS!).
We took a drive today around the long loop, starting by going up highway 12. On the way back on highway 90, we stopped at Yahel for lunch. We ate at the Kakao restaurant there in the Tzel Tmarim center. I had Tel Aviv French Toast, and David had a small pizza.
In the late afternoon, we went over to Ice Park for frozen yogurt. David's legs were doing better today, so we also walked all the way around the big circle.
