Hey blog, it’s Julianna again. In my previous post, I described the film I pitched… and how my life exploded this summer. (The too-long-didn’t-read: there was an accident, a week in STICU, and an aborted film shoot.)    GIF: The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory just digitized and archived 497 (mesmerizing, terrifying) films of early nuclearContinue reading “Crises of Confidence”

Since my last post, I settled upon collecting films with references to honeymoons and more broadly, to films that adhere to a romance narrative. Using IMDB’s keyword search, I researched films that contained words such as “newlyweds” and “honeymoon” in their plot description. I then ran a search for the films within UIowa’s media libraryContinue reading “Framing the Love Plot”

The second half of my project transitioned from getting my ideas out of myContinue reading “Working with Experts to Improve a Museum App”

I’ve been hard at work with data entry for my project this summer, see my full thoughts in my vlog below!   -Mac Gill

At this stage of the research, I selected 4 recorded audio examples all performed in one mode (3 pre-recorded and my own recording); first, in order to measure the frequencies and then, to look at the potential deferences between them. Our performed sample is the third measure of the previous report (D, raised E-flat, F,Continue reading “Analyzing microtones and writing them for western classical instruments”

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 whoContinue reading “Teaching Digital Music Digitally”
