Madness!!

When I applied to OIART before acceptance they give you plenty of warning as to how much if a commitment it was and how it essentially consumes you. Also Stefan who had taken the program two years prior would constantly say how dedicated he was in that year. I must say I wasn't really feeling it until this week. We have 11 courses and the exams for the courses were only spread out between 5 days. My life this past week has been really messed up, I stay up studying all night write two exams a day nap for a bit after and come home and study for the next two. With all that said I love it! I am having the time of my life here and wouldn't trade it for the world! In the small amount of free time, I am writing a bunch of new music! Check out the Myspace if you get a chance and let me know what you think :) This weekend I am off but I am going to be soooo busy doing production sound/editing/scoring a film with Cristina for the 48 Hour Flick Fest I should be studying for my afternoon computers midterm!

Thanks For Visiting

Empty Your Mugs

Time for another post.. I am trying to be more diligent with my posts but let's face it, I like to procrastinate. I am just on lunch at school and forget to bring one so I will blog to forget about my hunger. The last four weeks have just flown by! Every so often our teachers will make recommendations of extra curricular activities to aid in our learning.. ie. Volunteering for festivals and shows, certain movies that have been acknowledged as having good sound design aspects etc. One in particular that I took a liking to was a project the BBC is heading called "Save Our Sounds". It's a site where people from all over the world send in audio clips of sounds that they want preserved for future generations and give them a chance to maybe experience a sound that will no longer be around. The first thing that came to mind when I was going through the sound bank was that awful sound that we all cringe when we hear.. Dial Up Internet :s I recommend you check it out and think of some sounds to send in! http://bit.ly/nwOF7 I have been talking with the Producer of the whole project and she asked for my help with getting more funding for the project! If you're reading this please tell other people about the site and see if we cant get more sounds sent in from the Canadian front.

I have been writing a lot more and just posted a couple new songs to myspace http://www.myspace.com/johnpatricklondon The one track is title empty your mugs because it has been fueling me lately and it seemed like an appropriate title. I think the only person that loves coffee more or as much as me is Crustina haha god I miss her!!
