ARP mixtape 2012

In DIGA 361: Audio Recording and Production, students learn to work in Stetson’s recording studio and use multitrack DAWs to complete a range of projects. For their final project, students spend 5 weeks pursuing projects of their choice to demonstrate their skills. This may range from a studio recording with a local band to a spoken-word piece with accompanying music to a MIDI rendition of an orchestral work.

This year, we have revived an old practice of gathering all the projects together in a compilation that we share. This used to be done with CD-R copies for the students, but with today’s ease of digital distribution we thought, “why not make an MP3 mixtape and share it with the world.” If you want to hear the work that these 17 students did, simply click the link below to begin downloading. Once completed, unzip the archive and import the MP3s into your iTunes or other MP3 library. Enjoy!

FMI Second Place Winner : Matt Delisle

Congratulations to Matt Delisle who was chosen as our 2nd Place Winner at FMI : Festival of the Moving Image 2012!

As someone with poor eyesight, I’ve always been intrigued with the difference in my perception of things when I’m wearing glasses versus when I’m not. This piece attempts to capture both perceptions, while also examining the extensions of my physical self that make up my self-portrait.
