January 17th - Freesound Creation

Piano

Water Flow

Mellow

Loop all these songs together...it reflects the type of mood I am in right now...A little sad, but at the same time relaxed and reminiscing.

January 17th - Blog: Freesound experience...trippy

Originally I thought I was going to be frustrated and utterly annoyed with the idea of composing and looping songs within multiple windows in freesound, but ironically I actually enjoyed it. I've never really thought of doing this type of blending until today..it makes me wonder what I can create with the other 8000 mp3s I have on my computer..the possibilities..muhahah! What would be more exciting for next time would be to purchase a microphone and record all of the sounds together and create (1) wave for all (3) I used.

January 17th - Blog: What will happen this week in IDH4000...stay tune...your on Rhythm 101.5

Actually, this may be too difficult to predict...perhaps the analogy of a trying to form patterns with a schizophrenic tourette syndrome patient?

January 17th - Blog 2: Boredom or Reality?

Have you ever found yourself during an ordinary day wondering what the hell it is you are doing? I mean honestly, who the hell doesn't? You see today I was sitting in my desk at work and I began to think what it is I was doing. Sure I love my job, sure I love the place I work...but don't you ever wonder why we all have to get into this linear path of work...get paid...college...go home and eat...crap...sleep...and repeat over and over again! Is this really what life is about? Where did I sign up for this, was there some sort of fine print I missed?

To tell you the truth...part of me wishes I could just up and leave. I'd be more than happy just living in the woods for the rest of my life sustaining off the land and not having to worry about anything ever again (I've done this btw...that's what I miss it), but another part of me says this is what it is suppose to be like. You are suppose to work so you can take care of the people you love and obtain the satisfactory goods we all long for (insert Mach 1 mustang here). I'm merely ranting...it's just sometimes I wish it didn't have to be like this, but if I don't do it and conform to what society expects of everyone...I'll just end up like the rest of those people in downtown St. Petersburg getting their tents cut up by the city because of a "fire code violation" or some sort of bullshit. What I'm trying to say is if I don't do what I'm doing now, I'll end up like that and I don't want to....Damn't!

January 17th - Blog: Embarking on a new journey...

Before I begin the blurb about how I feel like I am entering into unchartered territory...lets open with Star Trek's opening theme!

Dun da duN!

I'm not sure on how I want to word about how I felt about our last class other than it was...wow! I mean we started with one topic, then we jumped to punk rock magazines...then we dived into economics and politics, which by the way David is proficiently knowledgeable of... On any ordinary basis, I wouldn't have had a problem with jumping right into the chaos and voicing my opinion about this or that, but this time I didn't know how to jump in or contribute aside from my mere interjections of realistic pessimism. How does one break the rhythm of several and contribute enough to keep the harmony? How is it that one person would say something and without any conflict, the next person would respond just as seamlessly as woven fabric? I think what I'm trying to say is that I'm amazed at how unorganized and chaotic the class it, but really how structured it turns out to be when things get going. Its an enigmatic paradox that is puzzling me right now... What am I trying to say right now? Am I merely contributing to the random bloggage it is we are trying to create? On the other hand, am I just an idiot who is voicing his mind into words onto a blog that everyone can see and laugh hysterically at behind their nifty little monitors? Hm... More confusion is to ensue as this class unfolds...you just wait!

Kristopher - it's Sarah Mae here ... I appreciate the comments you posted on my blog but you did not in any way (as you mentioned) offend me nor make any comments that would. Thank you for reaching across cyber space and encouraging me - it is greatly appreciated... I am hanging in and trying to accept that harsh comments intended to inflict pain say more about the speaker than they do about the subject.
