Summer Projects

So I somewhat did not live up to my goals. Did not complete 10 songs, or even one song. What I do have, however, is many hours spent in the lab with four unfinished songs. The great part about failing though is learning to start anew. Granted, there is something to be learned in finishing a song, even if it's not good, but I despise putting my name on a product of which I am not particularly proud. So I didn't.

Unfortunately, putting more time into music and friends this semester did cause a bit of strain on my academic life -- luckily it was a strain that is no longer a top priority. As much as I'll miss the life of undergrad, I'm excited for what is next.

I'd like to purchase my own equipment at some point as I've grown weary of using hardware that I do not 100% understand and did not put together -- it's limiting my productivity and growth. Don't misunderstand, I love the lessons I've learned from that music lab and the hundred of base concepts it has taught me, but I think going from hi-tech to low-tech (in terms of amount of equipment) will be a change. Learn to crawl before you can walk.

This summer I hope to make much more progress. We'll see.
