Hi, my name is Brett O’Connor and I am a senior at Cornell studying electrical and computer engineering. My current interests lie within house music and I have been interested in this genre for a very long time. In addition to this, I taught myself how to DJ and have been doing so for about a year and a half, in which I have played at various parties, primarily for my friends. I have always been curious about producing music and when I discovered this course, I felt that I needed to take it. In terms of my musical background, I primarily played the bass clarinet throughout high school and I also a little bit of guitar. I am interested in learning piano, but I haven’t yet found the time to do so. I am looking forward to everything that this course has to offer and I would love to collaborate with others throughout the process.
