BLOG TRES

O hai. It r tym 2 bl0g againz.

Let's see... what to talk about this time?

I guess I'll start by commenting a little on my thoughts of Assignment 3. I was really impressed by a lot of the work from other students. Professor Kojs had warned us about ambient and how it was hard to do it right, but those that approached it pulled the ambient sound off. Kudos. There were a lot of other creative techno ideas with nice beats and themes, but the house attempts, however, didn't seem to be as popular. There were a few of us in the house domain, but some of the efforts were from really boring to pretty f*c*in cool, in my opinion. I don't know, but what is it about house that puts it in that position? I told myself that the beat was the most important part, and that perfecting it was cr00sh. I also made sure that I set a cool atmosphere with lots of layering. I guess that's just my style, but I was kinda bummed that there weren't more impressive house projects. I guess we'll wait until the final projects/spring semester dance party rolls around...

(Btw my TA said that the plan was to hold the spring semester dance party/fall semester final project exhibition during shopping period, so as to serve as an "advertisement" to shop/take 295 in the spring. BEST IDEA EVAR.)

Speaking of final projects, I've got good feelings about it. Reason is a great piece of software; it's a great thing I've had plenty of experience with FL Studio, even though Reason has a wayyy better GUI. I think I will follow up on my idea from Assignment 3, but throw a little bit of electro and nudisko in there. The plan is to listen the sh*t out of some of my favorite DJs/artists and then try to emulate their sounds, but while adding my own touch with huge amounts of layer and orchestration. I hate using this word, but I want my song to be "epic." I want a huge opening with an explosive outro. I guess the goal is just to make the song so that it makes you want to dance your b*lls off. Sounds good, yeah? Yeah. It seems like this will be one of those projects where I won't mind spending like 50 million hours on, just to make sure I make it perfect. I just hope I still have time for all my other SENIOR PROJECTS x_x. We'll see.

Finally, some random thoughts:
-I am getting a little frustrated with our drummer. He's holding us back a little much now...
-Can't wait for this weekend. Brb goin to vASSar.
-Arrested Development is my current favorite TV show ever. It's pure genius. I do hope the rumored movie starts production soon. I thus have to leave you guys with the infamous chicken dance:
