PAPERS-2: A Pedagogy of Creative Thinking based on Sonification of Visual Structures and Visualization of Aural Structures

As I looked through older published papers of mine I realized that several went into depth on topics that I have only touched upon, if at all, in my recent blog posts. Most of these were done for scholarly conferences (and reflect a scholarly writing style required of this kind of work) and were peer…

INTRODUCTION TO AMBISONICS

I have gotten behind in my blog posts recently because I have been very busy. One of the most interesting things keeping me busy is discovering ambisonic recording. As a recordist who often records live concerts (mostly classical), this is a near-ideal way to record without spending a huge amount of time on setup and…

SKYPE RIGHT

This post is a kind of “how to” lesson.  In an earlier post, “Talk Radio,” I discussed various methods for interactive voice broadcasting.  But this post is simpler; it just tries to suggest ideas to make your Skype calls, whether for radio or just social, more effective. Skype, being free as basic software for noncommercial…

PODCAST 2 – SERIOUS PRODUCTION

PODCAST 2 – SERIOUS PRODUCTION

In my earlier post on podcasts, I mentioned I would do more posts about podcasting. I got off on other topics, but a very good panel presented at the Audio Engineering Society (AES) National Convention held in NYC in late October (2017) piqued my interest and has motivated me to produce another post on this…
