Our first tutorial was really good. It was great getting to know Fiona and the girls in my group, as well as understanding their practice a little better. There is a good mix of working styles in the group so this should have a positive effect on us all, getting to hear different perspectives. Quite a few of us have chosen the 'Visions of Sound' brief so again it will be interesting to see the different direction we all take the project. Cat is doing some exciting work with sound, such as recording places the human ear cannot reach, like inside her dishwasher. We had a good conversation about George Berkeley's theory of "If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" We talked how everything has an energy and it depend on whether we can or choose to tap into that energy for us to experience it. Similar to synthesizers always emitting sound waves and it is how the user manipulates that sound wave to create the desired effect.
