Plan for today:
1) Discuss Readings: Introduction to Sound by Artists, Dan Lander; Site-Specific Sound Installations in the Urban Environment, Maria Andueza.
Take the first 15 minutes of class to re-familiarize yourself with your notes and the texts. Be prepared to lead and engage in a conversation about the texts.
2) Sound Slideshow: We will listen and learn together!
3) Exporting in Audacity: Visit the "Sound" page to download the LAME MP3 Encoder. Once you do this, install on your computer. You will use this program to export your .aup files in audacity to .MP3 files, which will allow you to playback your piece on many devices.
4) Work Time: We will work independently, and then small groups will check in with your Instructor. The groups formed today will serve as your main support system through critique. Next week, you will travel with your small groups to your location and engage in in-progress critiques. During Critique, the small groups will be responsible for leading the larger group critique.
5) Next Week: Come to class with an exported .MP3 file of a well developed draft of your piece. Upload this file before you get to class.
Please name your file like this: FirstnameLastname_Draft1.mp3
Please also come to class with a device upon which you can play MP3 files, headphones, and a way to transfer files from the server to your device (via itunes or other method). We will engage in in-progress critiques with your small groups. Push yourself!
