Musings on an Assortment of Subjects

That is the title of this composition which I just put together for my Physics of Musics class. (The assignment was to write a 2-minute piece of music incorporating various additive and subtractive synthesis techniques, disguising an instrument’s sound, and playing a melody on harmonics.) Criticism is welcome, but keep in mind that this is my first composition and I will probably give up composing for good if you don’t like it. (Of course, that may be what you’re going for.)

Aside from the bongos, which I found using FindSounds, and the synthesized tones layered on top at the end, I only made use of two recordings: a single strike on my hammer dulcimer, and white noise from the airplane last week. All the processing was done using Adobe Audition.
