i was very suprised to find some senior projects that were in line with what I am studying, but there was really only one that hit dead on with my subject. In 01' Skye McLeod wrote a paper titled, "Bouncing Around the Room: Design & Construction of an Affordable Project Studio". Having studies this material before, the information was not that new to me but the detail that Skye offered was great and very thorough. His detail was so thorough he even got down to how far certain frequencies from sounds waves travel, such as the lowest of low notes(20 Hz) travels 56.5 ft and the highest note that our ears can perceive(20kHz) travels only 0.0565ft.....interesting stuff right? I'm not going to continue with the details because it even bores me but this paper was some 30 pages long and the appendix included frequency range charts, propsed designs for studios, list of materials, and how-to-do instructions. I was thoroughly impressed.
I looked over three other papers as well; "Audio Format: The Changing of Musical Experience" by Michael Henderlite, "Live Performance in the Development of Sustainability in Indpendant Music: Success, Spontaneity, and Suggestions" by James Flynn, and "Expressions and Creativity through Music" by Kelly Earp. All of these were different in nature but dealt with some aspect of music. Michale Henderlite's paper was interesting because it explored the history of recorded music and how we attach ourselves to it. He ended his paper with a pretty dope quote, "Music links us all. Recording has just made it easier for us to find this connection"- NICENESS!

The quote is very cool and even though the details of sound frequencies does not kept my rapt attention the project the project sounded well done. I enjoyed your comments.
How fortunate to find something that directly pertains to your career path! And it's probably nice to see someone else who has done your style of self-design (music industry), as it is probably quite daunting to be the ONLY person pursuing a particular concentration. Do you know any other IDS majors who went into the music bidness or something similar? I know of one (and you may too) whose name is Chris Lay, a man of great infamy and body hair. You should give him an email, as he focused on hip-hop culture and music production for his self-designed major. Adios!
