CSP Blog 6: General Reflection

I enjoyed this project very much, as I think everyone making a collaborative album is an exciting prospect. It gives us an opportunity as artists to get exposure, and to work together to support and uplift one another. It gave me an opportunity to improve my skills as a sound artist, and to further my skills in styles of music that I had not previously worked on.

Furthermore, it gave me the opportunity to indulge myself in things that I have never done. Like researching psychoacoustics, creating a dystopian soundscape, learning about graphic scores, and releasing a collaborative album. I really enjoyed the possibilities I got with this project, like the opportunity to create a sound piece in which I had a lot of creative freedom. This is great for a collaborative release, as each track will be unique and different from the rest.

What I could have benefitted from was some more support and information about the project before starting the work. Luckily, before the deadline, some information was put on Moodle to help us but I found myself needing a little extra help. I really enjoyed looking at psychoacoustics and researching how humans perceive and interpret sound. I would like to take a further look at graphic scores in the future and would like to incorporate them into my work, such as releasing one with my album or a piece. I feel like what I need to improve for my next project is my planning and execution. I felt a little rushed in completing my work and if I had started planning earlier I would have had more time to enjoy the project.
