I was a MA/MST student at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Accoustics.
This is my weblog.

This week is packed! Besides being the first week of courses, we were doing some signal processing for recordings we took over the weekend for the research project I'm working on, there is a concert and talk by Jean-Claude Risset tonight, and CCRMA's Modulations concert is this weekend in San Francisco. Even though the courses I'm taking haven't assigned homework yet I'm still pretty busy with finishing up 420 from last quarter and getting things organized. I feel like I haven't had much of a break, and some other MA/MSTs I've spoken with feel the same way. Spring break is only a week long and Winter quarter is pretty tough in general. I'm really glad I'm staying another year here. The MA/MST program was initially designed to help industry workers quickly expand their skillset and go back into industry. I think if that was my only goal then a year could have been sufficient, but since I got involved in some research it would be a waste for me to leave after this quarter now that I'm finally up to speed. Of course, research brings its own challenges. I need to get some publications out in a timely manner. Also, the "Wilson Laugh" from my cover of Winter Wonderland is now available at freesound.org: http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=117479
