Week of May 4th

This past week in class we as a class have come more together to make sure that our projects for Station North are complete. On Tuesday we split up in our respective groups and went over the transcriptions that we have for the rest of the recordings. We also prepared ourselves for Marc Steiner to come in to class and listen to pieces that Dan and Adam had been working on. On Thursday Marc came in and listened to the recordings we had. After he had listened to them, he asked us what we wanted to get out of the pieces and what we had learned from us doing the project. I told him that it was interesting to learn about Station North and listen to the hidden voices behind the space. Especially with what had occurred in Baltimore it opened my eyes to the frustrations that people face within the city. After our class, a couple of us went to the Fine Arts building along with Marc in order to record the intro and bridge pieces. Carrie and I along with Professor King had worked separately on the intros and realized that in order to make sure we didn't miss anything important in our intro pieces we would need about 10 separate voices to tie it all together. We needed up having 10 people read the intros. After the 10 people helped, Carrie, Adam, me along with Professor King recorded the bridge. This was a comical experience as I created my own neighborhood in Station North. This class was definitely a lot more work than I had anticipated but it truly has been a wonderful experience.
