Bibliography (and reflections on rabbit holes)

OK so as I was making my bibliography, I kept diving into research, so it’s become a research document too:

https://jasonjsnell.notion.site/Bibliography-1aba2cd8ca374a19bdf192d8b1c7f983

Reflections on thesis work: I think I’m on the right track when I feel like I’m not doing work or homework anymore. It feels like I’m going doing these fun rabbit holes, a bit decadent or too self-interested, like I should be working on something else rather than looking up the details of how a tape echo delay machine works (for example). But then I realize, “wait, this is my thesis work. This is my time to explore the things I find the most interesting, the most fun, the most intriguing, no matter how nerdy, weird, or seemingly useless it is.” It’s about the music I love, the games I love, the art I love, the technology I love, the topics I love, the human quirks I love. This isn’t about making something cool that other people will like. This is my time to do down the rabbit hole.

Bibliography

I logged materials on notion page

link

got a broad spectrum, but some keywords here: Pop culture/  youth culture / age / mortal & immortal

Starter Bibliography

**EDIT** The bibliography now lives on here arena and will be updated there.

 

Oops! I created this notion page earlier in the week and forgot to post it. I think I will migrate it to a different platform/format to include the inspiration from the artists (+ others that I find) that are on my miro board. Links to both below:

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

Bibliography Are.na channel: https://www.are.na/sehmon/sublime-technology

Brainstorm Miro Board: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPsVT2Gc=/

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.

Bibliography Are.na channel: https://www.are.na/sehmon/ml-musical-expression

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!
