This week forum was a journey to engineering. Not to say that past forums were not a journey to engineering, since random bleeps and squaks are closer to this field than music. This week, however was a physical journey to the engineering space in an effort to maximize our tech studies efficiency. Who would have thought that a music course would lead to the path of manual labor? Only those who denny the pure vision of Cage and his followers.
We got to wear goggles which was hot. Unfortunately, nothing hit them in the process so it was a waste of time and equipment. We learned how to solder wires together, and this is a problem I will not have in life from now on. We also learned how to wire up a pizza mic to a male jack and plug this in speakers. The results were musically... the results in an engineering sense were successful, IE it made a sound. We did not get to finish making these since we ran out of time but I cannot wait until next week when I will be making beeps to rival those at a pedestrian crossing (fingers crossed! hahaha).
