Here is my first whack at a 1-minute “one note” song in Garage Band for Sound Design class. The assignment was to create a one-minute, one-note song using Garage Band. My first real song-makin’ experience was ok! The project started and ended in tonight’s 3-hour study window. Pretty simple, but it is a good first… Continue reading Sound Design: One-Note Song

Sound Design: Mood Project
We’re working on a mood simulator in sound design class. I must confess, I’m a total noob at designing sounds and I probably will never be good at doing sound work. However, it feels good to take a class on this subject and participate in the exploration of new ideas. The assignment: Design 6 ten-second-length… Continue reading Sound Design: Mood Project

Tonight was presentation night for my arts and technology class. I better get on that this weekend, along with the move!
