Over the last several weeks I have been continuing to work on creating tutorial videos for works with trumpet a interactive electronics that will be appearing on my album I plan to release in December as part of my DMA thesis project.

Since my last post I met with my Studio points of contact who helped me come to the conclusion that the best platform for publishing all of the associated content for this project would be as a part of my existing online portfolio I’ve created with Wix. I used that platform’s dynamic page feature to create a main age and pages for each individual piece on my album. I also created a forum to facilitate the discussion of works with trumpet and interactive electronics, and a page where users can submit their own works to what will eventually become an archive that spans beyond my own album.

Below I have included the first tutorial video I completed that briefly gives an overview of the project. I created this video by using the screen record feature in QuickTime and adding graphics through Adobe Premiere. I recorded the audio using Pro-Tools and then added that to the completed video in Premiere.

My plan is to use this project to help expand the instructional content for musicians learning music that has an electronic component. I’ve greatly appreciated the way this summer experience has shaped the way I think about this project moving forward, and I plan to continue to add to it in the future.
