2nd Draft

August 7th, 2008 at 4:39 pm CDT - permalink

Finished the first draft of my thesis and sent it off for editing.  The 2nd draft is now being checked over by my advisor. This is where the real work begins.  Trying to keep on track, but these last few weeks of freedom have allowed my sleep patens to shift way from my typical diurnal mode.

I have to produce a lot of diagrams, fix my text and update the Codecs 4x15 Score.

 

Thesis

July 24th, 2008 at 9:48 am CDT - permalink

Been working on my thesis as of late. Also, finding time to do some electronica production. Over the last two years I've been pushing pretty hard at school so I had to let the production slip a bit. It feels good to do a more creative type of work.  I started working more work with some 8 bit emulation, which is very interesting. There is a whole group of people who are obsessed with creating music on old sound chips.  Chip tunes, are usually programmed for a specific chip in a nerdy way using code. I use a different way of doing things, but it prevents my fake chip tunes from having an authentic quality.  I like the sound but am by no means a chip tune purist.

In a pretentious world that is obsessed with ever increasing bit depth and sample rates, there is something that feels good about 8 bit.

 

BUSA and the Treble Cliff

Posted the final paper from the BUSA cross faculty course.  The Treble Cliff: Music creation and distrobution in a post file sharing world.  My groups project "Playdio" has been posted in the writing section of the site.  Overall the class and project were very interesting. It was nice to learn a little about the "other" side of the music world. This experience made me look at the business of music making in a different way.

CODEX Is CODONE!

Codex 4 x 15 was successfully premiered on April 9th, so I can now devote time to loading my materials into this website. My older projects as well as more recent works will slowly be updated as I bring the materials together. For the next while I'm going to be completing the written portion of my thesis as well as a Percussion Commission for the McGill Percussion Ensemble.   Check back soon for new updates.
