This week's forum is all about presentations made by year 3 students. Excuse me but I forgot all their names already...
First one was this really cool audio-visual presentation. The audio is nice, I love it but the visual aspect of it is slightly disturbing as it was this blinking and flashing blinding lights that made my eyes really painful (I can't stand bright lights in the dark). But I'm pretty impressed with the whole thing. It's dedicated to the good ol' cathode tube stuff on TV. Since we now have plasma TVs.
The second one was pretty impressive too, although to be honest, I forgot what it was... But I remember enjoying it.
The third presentation, is by far my favourite. He showed us two pieces. The first one was an ambient music. He basically made a program that does things that I don't understand. And then after 20 times of trying out the program, he only liked one outcome, which according to Stephen, a really good statistic! Anyway I love the ambient sounds and it sounds like something that acoustic instruments can play (orchestra?) and might be suitable for movies. His second piece was also great. It started with this minimalistic ensemble of four guitars before it goes to this section of music (I forgot what it's called) that uses images to produce sounds (that sounds like pure noise, but sounds REALLY cool!). And at the end was this cute D major perfect cadence on the keyboard.

Wow, you're sure heaping the praise there! Glad you liked the presentation(s). I always wanted (hoped) to create an outcome that was relatively satisfying musically, besides the Max application itself. On that note, some of us found it very easy though to get caught up in the development process to the point at which the musical submission is arguably of secondary consideration. Avoid that scenario however - it's called the Music Tech Blues ;-)
