Workshop Reflections 6 (14/4/16) – In Hot Water?

Week 6’s workshop was an interesting one. After receiving our marks (something I want to improve for this second project, yet something I am starting to worry could be tricky) — we were asked to fill out a set of… Continue Reading →

Music in Daily Life — Or Daily Life in Music (MASHD N KUTCHER)

So thinking back to week four (seeing as I’m a slacker who has allowed myself to get this far behind) — we were talking about sound. At the time I was struggling to get good case connections, but I think… Continue Reading →
