To be honest, I'm not really sure if I quote, unquote, learned anything from this assignment. Not to say I didn't have a lot of fun or have a great time doing it, or that I know everything (or even a lot about sound) but its something that isn't really new to me. I've explored a lot of sound in my environments and made lots of individual attempts to better understand and explore sounds in this world. My father, as previously mentioned, has a strong obsession with music, specifically in incredibly high and precise fashion, always aiming for better quality for that "pure" sound. It was quite hard to avoid in my childhood. Also, I've learned to pick up and understand smaller, more minute, sounds in my meditation sessions. So while it was a lot of fun to listen closely to all the sounds we created and discovered within our group, I don't know if I learned anything from them. Rather, I was reminded and reinforced of both the purpose and delight that sound can induce. However, knowing you Shannon, you're really going to want me to clearly state something I did actually learn (and I know you're reading this) so, here is something I did learn during this project and will never forget: when Shannon Silva says I want a project turned it in on time and at the beginning of class, Shannon Silva means that that tape better be in her hand as an actual mini-DV tape, or so help me, I will feel her wrath, and it shant be pleasant.
