World's Largest Digital Orchestra Makes Debut

Saw this on digg. Not hugely relevant but interesting nonetheless.

It's the world's largest digital orchestra, comprised of 50 students from York University.

Also I found this site with some details on digital orchestras which may be interesting to some people for their final performance.

Assignment 3 - Sorry it took so long.....

This is my song. Sorry it took me so long to get it up on the site.

My name is Bobby.

Hey, I'm bobby miller. I posted a similar introduction last year but I didn't make it into the class. Not much has changed though except for my age and my musical tastes so here it is:

I'm a senior in the arts and science school. My major is computer science and mathematics. I wish I was gutsy enough to pursue music as a major and perhaps a career. I absolutely love music, and have been playing music since I was a child. My main instrument is the piano. I took lessons in classical piano and only now am I trying to broaden my horizons by  attempting to pick up pop piano (billy joel, elton john, etc). While I was studying the piano, I picked up the trombone with my middle school's band program. I also picked up the guitar while in high school for fun. Although I don't compose much, it is pretty much my main goal as an avid music lover to write my own songs. and.....if anyone is interested (or wants to judge my musical tastes), my current top 5 favorite bands/artists are belle and sebastian, the shins, the pixies, midlake, and sufjan stevens.

I'm thrilled to be in this class and I look forward to working with and getting to know all of you at some point this semester.

At this point I do not know what my chances are of making it into this class as I am currently on the waiting list. I'm hoping that I will get in because I'm extremely eager and interested in this course. If I do not make it in I wish everyone the best of luck and hope that you all take advantage of the wonderful opportunity that is at hand here in making music. If i do make it in I'm thrilled to be a part of this class and I look forward to getting to know all of you.
