Hello World (+Starter Bibliography)

Hello!

I’m currently split between two ideas for Thesis. The first is a topic I’m personally interested in, the second is also something I’m interested in but is more relevant to my day to day work. Currently leaning towards idea #2, given it’s proximity to my daily work and timely nature.

 

Idea #1 – Spiritual/Sublime Technology

 

Goal: Embody the feeling of sublimity, and inspire recognition of the structures larger than the individual

Areas of Inquiry:

  • The sublime
  • Aesthetics of religious and spiritual architecture
  • Static and kinetic sculpture
  • Religion and religious theory

 

Idea #2 – Interfaces for Machine-Supported Musical Creation

Goal: Explore new interfaces for musical expression, built on advances in Machine Learning and AI.

Areas of Inquiry:

  • Sound Waves
  • Audio Synthesis (Waves, Synthesizers, ASDR)
  • Music Theory (Harmony, Key, Tempo)
  • Audio Synthesis (VST, DAW)

 

Relevant to an effort I’m supporting at work. There’s potential to be a lead engineer on this project, collaborating with a prominent musician to build an interface for musical creation.

 


 

I’m feeling like the second idea makes most sense given the next few months. Will review with Sarah during our check in tomorrow!
