The Long Lost Music 51 Project

There are a few people who read this blog who I know in the, "real world." These people probably have a vague recollection of the fact that I am taking a music class at school this quarter...Music and Computers. It's an interesting class, with an especially interesting professor (who is strangely similar to Chairman Kaga of "Iron Chef" fame). I was looking forward to the assignment, until the day it was due. That was mostly due to the fact that I had not yet started it. I admit that all of this was entirely my fault...but trying to record a multi-tracked ANYTHING (let alone a 1 minute song) in lab an hour before it was due was a mistake. The project resulted in what experts are calling a, "tremendously awful, steaming pile of manure." It was so bad, I was ashamed to turn it in. If I get full credit, it will undoubtedly be due to the fact that I met all the stated requirements of the piece, not because it was worth listening to, or even the time I spent working on it.

In short, I will not be posting my turd of a project. There is one more assignment due before the end of the quarter, though. After learning my lesson from assignment one (that lesson being to NOT start the day of, and to not take new software for granted), I should have something much more polished for assignment 2. I hope so, anyway.

If nothing else, I'll probably have a new video or two on YouTube of me playing uke. Hot damn I love the uke.

That is all for now.
