Although some people were closer to the mark than others (Zack, Sam, Jade, Matt) the class as a whole was too literal in its sound poems. They were too linear, and we as a class "failed" the assignment.
Next assignment will be given on Tuesday, due after 3 weeks, with in progress critiques. (MIDTERM)
Everyone did it wrong and pretty much failed. All of them were too unimaginative and linear. Need to think story first, needs a crescendo with begging middle and end. No hw, but will probably all have to redo this piece.
Midterm assigned next week, going to be super hard and due the Thursday before spring break.

Josh- no clarity/narrative was to hard to understand. Jeremy- sounds were confusing, but narrative was there. Bekah- feeding cat Jeff- good job layer sounds (better) John M- abstract Ethan- washing dishes, too long Dylan- most distinguished with stanzas Sean- home projects Matt- failing machines Sam- day in the life Zack- world ending, best Me- ? Rob- getting caught John H- rhythmic Kristy- driving a motorcycle
FAIL!
wasn't imaginative enough * no hw for the weekend.
- Critique of A3 - 3-5 layers of sound you can hear - Anything more you will begin hearing white noise - People are not using there imagination enough - Everyone failed to meet the goal - Up coming midterm should be on par with the type projects - We will probably end up re-doing A3
2/4- Reviewing projects:
ReplyDeleteNeed to label your projects correctly.
My project: First to go. didn't quite follow the intention. Probably the worst of all to go first.
everyone used literal sounds. they needed to be more abstract.
everyone's piece was too literal, linear, and unimaginative.
Next project: no hw over weekend, but project will be due thursday before break.
To Recap on todays critique,

NMD 304 Notes 2/4/10
ReplyDeleteCritiqued Sound Poems
Mostly all projects lacked imagination and had too abstract a narrative and little story
Midterm project coming up to be assigned next Tuesday

wasn't imaginative enough
* no hw for the weekend.
What is the difference between narrative and organized sound?
ReplyDelete1 layer you can hear
2 layers work well
3 layers you can distinguish
over 5 layer you are left with white noise
Story follows a circle and has a climax and nobody did that in their piece and thus we all failed.
Midterm due the thursday before break
People aren't being imaginative
ReplyDeletemine-too abstract an idea to work
everyone failed.
Next class we get midterm
Notes 2-4-10
ReplyDeleteCritique
Joshua Smith- Plane getting shot down, interesting narrative, hard to decipher, good arrangement of sound
Jeremy Boulier--> Doing drugs, meth lab, close narrative
Rebekah Doherty--> Cat Interruption, feeding the car
Jeff--> Taking out the trash
John Mondor--> Good Arrangement, art Project
Ethan--> Dishes, Dishwasher, Boring-->Shorten up
Dylan--> Preparation, editing, printing, car battery dying, waking up, driving, school work
Sean Cambell--> Morning routine, construction
Sam Hoey--> Back of a bowling alley, weekend of his life
Zack Glidden--> End of the world
Jade--> Ticking, knocking, teapot, alarm
Rob--> food prep, someone seeing something they weren't supposed to see
John Hicks--> Has a beat, coming home after a long day
Kristy Yeaton--> Driving a motorcycle
All of them fail because you suck and they're linear, c'mon.
no homework this weekend.
We went over everyones sound piece and he felt that we all were not innovative enough with our narratives.

Critque of Sound Assignment 3
ReplyDeleteEveryone failed the assignment.
We weren't imaginative enough or had a clear enough narrative.
We will have to redue A3 in the future.
No homework for the weekend but the MIDTERM assignment will start next week.
How can you organize the sounds to do your intentions?
ReplyDeletewhen creating a narrative, be aware of what you are doing and what you want to do
3 - 5 layers are fine, more than that you can get white noise
explanation of your piece determines if it is successful for this assignment, but as whole we all fail.
too linear
think of story first
mid term project
due thursday before spring break
Todays class we went over everyones sound projects. Very few were decent to raphs standards.
ReplyDeleteNeed to use imagination
No beats
no homework over the weekend
midterm project will be assigned on tuesday and due thurs b4 break
There were a couple that I heard that
-A3 critiques. Raph doesn't like 'em.
ReplyDelete*Hated mine
-No homework over the weekend, nice break.
- Around five layers differentiation are the most a human can perceive in some senses. I learned that in highschool psych.
-No story and climax in the pieces, we all failed. You know what they say when everyone in the class fails an assignment. Time to describe it better.
