Today I started out slow with my reading of Chapter 7. I do, however, think that this chapter is one of the most relevant to what our final project will become. Learning about exactly how to make samples and loop them is really great, because it will help us make the type of instruments we want later on. I also found the computation and composition article to be really interesting, because it deals with my favorite musical genres. Minimalism and 20th century experimentalism is one of my favorite areas of study, and many of the loops I've created imitate that style. Hopefully this afternoon I can finish reading Chapter 7 and move on to finishing the evaluations for each supplemental activity.
