3 Things I Learned In Class 2/23/2007

1. I learned how certain aspects of a sound art piece like pauses, timing, transitioning and variety can really contribute to what makes a sound piece interesting to the listener. I'll definitely make an effort to pay extra attention to these things in my next assignment.

2. I learned that the ways in which sounds are manipulated can really create an emotional impact for the listener, certain sounds can be used in a way that makes them humorous or frightening and a number of other various emotions simply because of the ways in which the pitch, tone, etc. were manipulated.

3. I learned how to take a concept and develop it in a quick and efficient way with the help of other people. I usually like to brainstorm on my own and then have other people give me feedback, but having other people help me brainstorm ideas for this next assignment was very effective today.
