Hello everyone,

I am currently a college scholar major in A&S studying visual and auditory psychology along with sound design. I was forced to pick up the violin at the age of 4, but I am also forever grateful for that. I have also learned to play guitar, bass, and taiko drums along the way. I have been producing my own music for awhile now. I have a difficult time pinpointing my musical interests because I have a tendency to wander in terms of choosing particular genres.

I took Music 220 last year, which helped give me direction in terms of my musical interests. I hope to expand my production skills into the realm of visual art through this class and as always, I am genuinely excited to learn from Professor Ernste.

Best,

Brian

I'm looking for somebody to work with for the 2nd performance. I
thought the projects presented with the vocoder were interesting so I wanted to create a pd patch that could act as a vocoder in real time with a guitar or keyboard with additional effects that I have yet to come up with. I also play a lot of bass and violin so I could help out with anyone who would want to work with those instruments. I eventually want to work on modulating tones, applying effects, and mapping these things to controls on an electric guitar i.e. pickups, knobs etc while utilizing a pd patch obviously. Thanks to anyone who responds.

I needed to find a way to amuse myself after spending 7 hours in the studio and I came up with this.

Professor Ernste briefly talked about binaural recordings and I've been interested in it and found this today.  I've only tried the virtual haircut and that was enough.  The depth perception in terms of hearing is really interesting because it seems so pinpoint and accurate.  Anyways, I won't waste your time with more descriptions, just hear it for yourself if you have a few minutes and I suggest you use decent headphones.
