Forum Week 6

Listening to people who have actually collaborated with people in real situations really helped put music, and music technology, into perspective. The collaboration that interested me the most was with making the short film. The fact that he never met with the sound editor was interesting as the music in the film was linked so closely to the sounds of the environment, it was by no means a separate thing, like in a romantic movie.

The collaboration with the art display opened my eyes to the possibility of sound in art and, more specifically, sound in visual art. The amount of time and effort that would have gone into setting something like that up would have been quite a bit. Although i don't fully understand the overall point of the display, i give credit to the work involved and the attention 2 detail.

The presentation on the animation gave me a peek into what to expect in the next few years of music tech. I am quite looking forward to doing a project like that with some one. It really was a fantastic piece. However if i could make 1 criticism, it would be with the rendering of the animation. Sometimes it was a little too jerky.

The final discussion about collaborating with 'everything,' although interesting, way to general and really posed more questions that couldn't be answered than actually discussing the nature of collaborations. Some interesting things were said, but overall quite meaningless.
