My other technologically saavy class this semester is Intro to Music Technology with Lyn Goeringer. Our first project is actually to create a website. This is great for me because I have always wanted to make one but just have never gotten around to trying to learn this. I just find it ironic that i had to venture outside the art department to get an assignment on this! Regardless, our first step in this is to research some websites, using an electronic musician as way to learn info. and examine good and bad parts of non-commercial sites. My research took me to a very interesting composer and performer Laetitia Sonami. She is most known for this work called the "Lady's Glove," a wearable instrument that controls sound and light.

Anyway, I think this will be a great class for me, not just because I have been wanting and needing technical help with my sound recording (pretty lo-fi right now), but also as a way to learn more about the history of electronic music and get me back into these types of musics that i have neglected since moving here and since the days of my old radio show in undergrad, tintinabulary.

Yay for school, right? Now if i can just get a handle on my many work-jobs. Need to quit one. I have to write that down to remind myself because i somehow keep forgetting.
