Spring 2014 gave me the chance to teach Audio Recording and Production 2 again. Although it was not during the summer like last time, I decided to keep the album challenge intact. With a much larger class this time, we were able to break into five groups working on five albums! Although there were some […]
Once again, students in DIGA 361: Audio Recording & Production gathered their best tracks into a compilation to share with listeners via the web. Our MP3 mixtape for 2013 features acoustic singer-songwriters, electronic dance music, and straight up garage rock. These diverse musical styles help to showcases all of the ways sound studio and DAW […]
This spring semester, I wanted to do something different with my Computer Music 2 course. I had seen the workshops that L2Ork did at their local Boys & Girls Club and thought it was an idea worth replicating. Transitioning from Mac to Ubuntu was a task unto itself for my students, but in the end […]
While travelling in Europe, I felt compelled to shoot video out the window as a means of capturing the sensation of motion from these various modes of transportation.

We presented all new material inspired by […]
With the Fall semester drawing to a close, that means it is time for another set of Computer Music final project videos. This time my Digital Arts students were directed to incorporate machine listening into their Max/MSP development. Most of them ended up using the [analyzer~] object, which was originally created by Tristan Jehan and […]
Today I gave a presentation on lecture capture as part of a faculty forum on campus about teaching with technology. Stetson’s Associate Provost for Faculty Development Karen Kaivola helped put together this afternoon of faculty sharing the unique ways we use technology. It was a great event where a lot of ideas were traded among […]
