Please answer the following questions, no more than one page total, and email it to me at cas378@cornell.edu before Saturday, April 18th.

1) Please explain in no more than two paragraphs any ideas you might have for your final project. Some things to consider include duration/scope of project, some of the techniques you would like to use, and/or describing the concept behind the project.

2) What software and hardware, do you believe, will best help you realize this project?

3) If applicable, what software and hardware would you like to use for your project, but don't feel as though you have enough knowledge to properly use?

4) Are you interested in collaborating on your project? If so, please explain the nature of the collaboration, and who you would like to collaborate with.

I'm not sure if any of you have seen this, but it completely amazed me. It's very relevant to our class, as well. The videos are very interesting because of their relation to the sound splicing needs.

Let me know what you think. I hope you are having a nice break!

Dear Class,

I recently made changes to the coursework folder on the network drive. I moved all of your Project_1 data to a new folder entitled Critiques_1, located inside the newly created Critiques folder. The Projects folder will now be used to turn in your mid-semester projects due on Wednesday (3/11), and the Critiques folder will be used for all future class critique projects.

I will explain again in class, but please take note of this!

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Class,

There will be no office hours today due to a little trip I took to the health center after burning my hand.

Woops,

Chris 

Hi Class,

My office hours this semester will take place on Wednesdays from 1:00-2:55 PM. My office is Lincoln Hall 125. I hope to see some of you there! I'll be there starting this Wednesday (2/4).

Tschüß!

For the students who asked about my wind ensemble piece and how to find good heaphones:

Here is a link to the live performance of my piece "Augenblick" from November 22nd:

Here is a link to a website I used to determine which headphones I should buy:

I ended up buying the Equation RP-22X because a local dealer in Montana sold me them for $80 ($40 less than suggested retail).

Hello 1421,

There is a dress rehearsal tonight at 4:30pm in Bailey Hall. (You have to enter towards the rear of the hall, not the main entrance). Also, please come to the concert on Saturday night at 8pm. It's free, and should be really interesting!

Hope to see you soon,

Chris

ps The master class with Derek Roddy was canceled due to a time conflict. Sorry!

Greetings Class,

I will not be at my office hours on Monday. I will be gone for a performance in Rochester, NY. I am able to meet today (Sunday) if you need help before the assignment is due. If not, I will be back for Tuesday's class and can meet with you after that anytime.

I hope you are having fun with Reason!

-Chris 

Dear Class,

Class,

I wanted to remind everyone that my office hours are Monday 10am-Noon. I tend to float between my office (Lincoln Hall 125) and the studios downstairs. If you have any questions about your test, recording or Cubase, please feel free to stop by.

See you Tuesday,

Chris
