Mixed Thoughts on my Senior Project

Thanks to my trusty alarm clock, I missed class today and was not able to present my possible senior project ideas. Yes I said ideas because I am constantly thinking of ideas because I want this project to be fun and creative, not a bland presentation on Powerpoint. So I am studying the Music Industry basically with a focus in Recording and Production. I have numerous options with this. I talked with Derek and he thought it would be cool to explore different recording techniques with one particular track that I myself will produce. This could be a historical account of recording technologies that I incorporate into my own productions, but I don't want it to be boring because it takes trained ears to hear specific differences between say analog tape and digital recordings that exist today. Thats one option. The other that I have been thinking about doing is taking my acquired knowledge of recording and production and making a full length music video. So I would incorporate video technologies and my own productions to create a project. This I think would be very interesting and would be much more creative than the first propsed topic. I am still thinking and am collecting ideas daily so who knows what I will do but this is what I have so far. Any input or suggestions would be great, so feel free to get your blog on!

Keep thinking, and come by my office hours when you have things narrowed down. We need to get you started soon, though, so you have time to do the project you settle on.
