Kinetic Imaging project course

the last 4 weeks of school ive been taking a Kinetic Imaging class focusing on sound. The first assignment we had was to take a 15 minute walk around campus and listen to all of the sounds. We then had to answer questions based on what we heard. It was a wonderful exercise that taught us to open our ears to whats around us. Our first project was to create our own instrument. It was so inspiring to see all the students create very interesting sounds, some going all out and actually using their project to play short songs or melodies. The second project, which i think i enjoyed the most, was to pick a scene from a DVD and a song. We had to present our project by playing the DVD scene on mute and playing back the song. I chose to use a scene from Aladdin and a song called nomadic knights that turned out to go together perfectly. Our final project, which we are presenting today, was to work in groups to create a story and record it on a 4 track with sound effects.
This class was wonderful for me because i am a musician and i work with sound and recording all the time. This opened my ears and eyes to sounds and equipment that i hadnt heard or seen. We even had a guy who owns a recording studio that my instructor works at come in and talk to us about a career and recording sound. I learned alot of stuff that i didnt know about, mostly the equipment. My instructor was very knowledgeable of the things that she talked about and i could tell she got really inspired and excited when she saw our projects (she was sort of the quiet solemn type so it really showed).
