Presentation night!

On the 16th of June, we all presented our projects! Everyone’s presentations were all so amazing and I learnt sooo much about different kinds of technology that can be used to create music. There were live performances, websites, demonstrations, videos and maths, so cool. Reflecting on my own school experiences, it is such a shame that we did not use a lot of technology – close to nothing really :( So, tonight really made me so excited for a new generation of teachers who are exceptionally advanced in technology.

Reflecting on my own presentation, I was so nervousssssss - I completely forgot how to use the software so to the first few people who came by, IM SORRY :( Thankfully I figured out why nothing was working before James came to interview us AAAAA

At our table, we had a poster where I think some were drawn to its bright yellow colour ahahaha. On the poster, we had images of the software logos (which was so good when chatting to people because it visually showed them the two different softwares), Solaria (the character vocal bank we used for the vocals) and a QR code that sends you to a link tree that has our music videos (for the free and paid versions of our song), blogs (for more information about our project as well as our progress) unit outline (a summary of how we would use both softwares in an education setting) and links to the software websites (so if anyone wants to explore on their own, they can easily access them!). But we were able to show people the software that both Josephine and I used for this project – both how to use them and how we used them to create our song.

Here is the link the QR code goes to

Ooo, I highly recommend reading Josephine's blog to learn about vocal synthesis and Synth V! (her blog is also in the link above :D) It is a very interesting read about the history of vocal synthesis, cool cool!

Reading her blog post about presentation night was a very interesting read. I recall the moments that Thomas Fienberg shared his perspective on music making. NOTE: I commented on Josephine's blog post "Presentation Night - A Retrospective," sharing my thoughts on what Thomas Fienberg shared.

I will shortly upload a clip of our interview during the night once it becomes available :)

Big thanks to everyone who organised tonight!! Really enjoyed the event
