Back to School

So things have been a bit crazy since I've gotten to London. Classes started and I haven't really been able to concentrate on anything other than that. Today was my fist kind of day off.. I had a 9 - 11 am class and now I'm off for a couple of hours til I have to go back for an 8-11pm lab.. To me this is considered a day off. We have been introduced to a lot of avenues of audio that I really didn't think were possible outside of the obvious. In classes like acoustics were learning the physics of how and why sound travels. Math were learning how MIDI, computer programs, and synthesizers are all programed through binary. Of course on the other side of all of that we're learning the practical aspect of it and how to apply it.. All super exciting stuff!! To me anyway. One of my teachers who's class I seem to enjoy the most recommended we take a listen to the movie 'Wall.E' and note the importance of the audio and the creative use of it in the movie. The genius behind that movie was Ben Burtt A very famous sound designer who was also behind the audio for 'Star Wars' and 'Indiana Jones'. Right now I am working on a submission for a global project that the BBC is working on called Save Our Sounds. Its a project to preserve sounds that future generations may never get a chance to hear or experience. I'll post my submission when I finish it.
