June 22- REBOOT!

Today has been awesome.
We finished up most of the Chapter 5 things we need to finish. I need to look over the newest version of section 2 in order to complete my final assessment of the chapter, but other than that I've finished all the other assessments. I have also nearly completed my choral setting of "Day", which I will hopefully complete and perform in one manner or another. The team and I decided, after joking about our skills with reason and sonar, that we would write a pop song. Our song, entitled "REBOOT", is a neo classic dance groove that deals with the ever-present love/hate conflict between man and computer. The whole team contributed to the writing of the lyrics, I came up with the melody and notated it in finale, Erica has started the initial harmony analysis, and we've started a few loops in sonar to use as accompaniment.
Fun as this is, we realized when we started the song that this could be an EXCELLENT form of the final project for this class. If students were asked to create a simple song, create an accompaniment track in sonar or reason, then required to create a music video and mix it down in audition, it would be an all-encompassing project. The hope is that the team and I can get together to make a music video and use all of our knowledge to create a fun final result.
