NEW SITE

Check out the new music site, District Noise. This will keep you up to date with all the upcoming hip-hop music scene in DC and surrounding areas.

Group project

I have teamed up with Trish and we are still discussing what our project will center around. I know she has expressed interest in a website that deals with local music, and I am all for that. My only concerns so far relate to the format of the website. will it be simply tour dates and locations? will it have brief descriptions about the bands? pictures? audio clips/songs? videos?

It sounds like a big project to undertake, (especially with my very bare skills using basic HTML coding) but we are both excited to nail down the final specifics and get started.

Remix reviewed

The remix project was an enjoyable undertaking for me. Mixing many audio tracks of a great Robert Frost poem into one reading really gave me new insight into the poem. Creating this project was a perfect example of how many people can take so many different meanings from a singular piece of text. The audio tracks all represented the reader's feelings about the poem, and when they were all put together it really came together as a leveled piece of audio poetry.

Owen's piece with the inserted text and subtitles was very clever and humorous. It really gave me a chance to look at a classic piece of film and text and see the way new media can bring a fresh look into it. Also I'm not sure if other people had the same experience, but for me seeing/hearing the new voices made me wonder what the original recording sounded like. It did a great job of entertaining me and increasing my interest in the original production.
