Hack #5
By splicing, reforming, transposing, and transforming musical elements of my previous project, Hack #4, I remixed my remix to offer a new, critical message. This old work used three musical pieces from three distinct time periods to exhibit music’s quality and tendency to be used for advocacy against systems of oppression, inequality, and injustice. “This…

This week, similar to last week, was not filled with many big failures! Although, I ran into some small road-blocks regarding the required readings for class. While I thoroughly enjoyed both readings and their concepts on the future of humanity with respect to technology, I had a bit of a tough time reading the MIT…

I believe that this “theft” that we discussed in class is a crucial and natural…

I feel like I am always discovering new features within the software, allowing me to experiment with new techniques, sounds, and ideas. Similarly, there is quite…

Hack #3
For Hack #3, Software Invasion, I used Logic Pro to act as a word document software. Logic Pro is a digital audio workstation, meaning it is intended for audio recording, production, and music composition. Just like other digital audio workstations (or DAWs), Logic Pro utilizes musical instrument digital interface, or MIDI, technology to store musical…

This week, I mostly worked on my Hack #3. For my software invasion, I am using Logic Pro, a digital audio workstation, to display text (like typing software). I figured this would be a playful intervention as Logic Pro is solely used for creating audio and music. Within the software, there are spaces known as…
