I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m finally a senior! However, in consideration of the amount of work left to do, it feels like I’m an underclassman. Nonetheless, I am on the home stretch towards graduation and earning my degree. With graduation slowly approaching I must begin to think about my capstone project. Without much thought, I instinctively knew that my project will have something to do with music. Given the fact that I’ll be working on this project for the next two semesters, it’s a good idea to choose something I find highly interesting.
Obviously, music can mean a million different things. I didn’t have a clue about what I wanted my project to be about specifically until I had a conversation with a classmate who told me he was using his own original music for his project. That got me thinking. I took that and stopped by my professor’s office the other day to ask some questions. After having that conversation, I became more aware of the fact that we are allowed to make our project our own and what we want it to be, as long as it satisfies the requirements of course. My professor had me explaining to him the process of how I produce, record, engineer, and publish my music. There is a great deal of importance in the engineering process that is very informative. The publishing process is also very relevant to my major simply due to the fact that involves copyright, advertising, campaigns, and appealing to and targeting an audience. My professor said I can use the exact process that I’m so passionate about and turn it into my capstone. After that conversation I had a slightly tighter idea and a lot more excitement. I haven’t officially decided what format to make my project but I’ve been leaning on a website. I also thought about the possibility of making a documentary. However, If I make a website I’ll plan on having multiple modes of media in it.
