Week 2

      After doing much research on the color organ and how other people have interpreted it I got inspiration from Yale's performance of it and how they performed a Russian sound poem. I thought that using light to articulate a sound could be interesting. In my own interpretation of it I think about "composing" a story using only light to be performed about escapism and dreams. I think about how people daydream during boring parts of their day and play videogames and have hobbies to escape the pressures of the world around us. Using light and darkness to articulate these ideas I think could be very interesting. I think about how when I daydream I do not physically hear what I am thinking about but I can almost see it so the instrument taking a form of a piano can be interesting as well as an almost subdued version of music. 

    The labs have taught me how to use resistors and determine how many volts are going through a circuit. I have also learned what a short circuit is and how to prevent it. Learning how to wire simple circuits is very interesting and fun when it works and you get the led light to light up. I did not realize that led lights were a polarized object and it was interesting learning how to orient them.
