 Project 8. Allatonceness War of the Mind: Ataraxy vs Apprehension      The piece is an extension of a previous soundscape project. This initial soundscape project aimed to create a feeling of tranquility and peace through sounds captured in nature as well as ethereal sounds from the human body (humming) to create an out of body experience, a calming effect, or to be used as a meditation sound. This project aims to expand on that concept by creating an atmosphere that explores the mind, specifically an anxious, worried, or overwhelmed mind through the loops and bounds of an overthinker. I attempted to convey the calm before the storm, the unnerving, and dizzying experience experienced by many overthinkers. I also attempted to show how one can go through this spiral of thoughts.

Creators of newARTSpace: Terri Warpinski and David Graham      On Wednesday, March 1, 2023. I attend an artist talk at the Wriston Auditorium. There were two artists named Terri Warpinski and David Graham who were presenting as duo artists to speak about their years (collectively 75 years) of artistry specifically the medium of photography. They started the talk with introductions and a look into their artistic careers beginning with Terri Warpinski whose awards and accomplishments alone make her stand out amongst the crowd with her being distinguished as a Fulbright Senior Fellow to Isreal in 2000-2001, as Professor Emerita of Art in 201 after a 32-year-career teaching at the University of Oregon and was the Honored Educator of the Society for Photographic Education at their international conference in Philadelphia in 2018. Although Warpinski has had a very eventful life as an international photographer, her start within the world of photography was in college when she started out wit

The Electronic Age of The Beatles  Powerpoint      I have to say working on this project was very interesting and gave me greater insight and appreciation for the Beatles as not just a "psychedelic" band, but one that is revolutionary and innovative. I was already a fan of the Beatles before choosing them as my subject for my project, but when looking deeper into how their use of electronic music shaped the way many records were made after the 60s due to their experimental sounds and use of tape slicing was very interesting to research. As well as learning more about the process of multi-track recording or Automatic double-tracking or artificial double-tracking (ADT) which is an analog recording technology designed to enhance the sound of voices or instruments during the mixing process. It uses tape delay to create a delayed copy of an audio signal which is then combined with the original. Through my research, I found that the Beatles started using this in their 1968 Revolver
