student goals

J.N.

I would like to explore the following things:

• waveform shape & the creation of sound from additive & subtractive oscillators, as well as how those values can be side-chained to automate effects

• entropic and interactive methods of creating music (randomness!)

• perception of sound taking advantage of HRTF methods in both headphones and actual acoustic space

• groove; and all of its nuances (math-rock, anyone?)

• augmenting the sounds of acoustic instruments to create a specific timbre that affects its perception and mood

With the following goals in mind:

• to play upon common customs of sound and honing in on their effects to further understand the composition pedagogy

• exploring a less is more mentality in mixing & sound design

• integrating field recording into my arsenal & staying poignant to the everyday soundscape
