After trying many types of calendars, reminders, notebooks, and programs, I have settled on mostly a system of Google calendar and documents, to help me maintain my routine schedule activities and appointments at home and school.  My favorite technique for sorting information and assignments due, such as when taking multiple graduate classes, or preparing forContinue reading “Shiver Post 11”

June 26, 2023 “Find an example of a song containing a direct audio sample of another song. I recommend using WhoSampled.com. Post links to both songs and explain how the sample was used. Does it form the basis of the beat? Is it a background texture? Does it run throughout the song or just appearContinue reading “Assignment 14”

I don’t think sampling modern songs without permission (or at the very least, without credit given) is acceptable if the sample is going to be part of something that is sold, such as a complete work by a professional artist or music company.

I used the sampler keyboard and created an overlappingContinue reading “Found sound song”

I had the opportunity once to attend one of his performances and I really enjoyed the music and watching him build upContinue reading “Post 4”

Tech Blog Post 3: Loop Song Peer Review LINK https://youtu.be/1TRkkflWpoQ  I wanted to create something that reminded me of the atmosphere of the“morning lofi/cleaning/study/ playlist” kind of music on youtube that I enjoy while doing chores or studying. I tried to pick the instruments and loops that sounded the most like what I’d hear inContinue reading “Week 3”

Favorite Song – Twine by Lowland Hum “Twine” by Lowland Hum has been one of my favorite songs since 2019, so much so that I put it on my alarm clock ringer. For that reason, it may be less of a favorite by association with getting up early for lunchroom duty at work. I amContinue reading “Most and Least Favorite Song”
