Assignment
Go to the future. Make music. Bring it back to the present.
It should be a very short piece or an excerpt. Less than two minutes. It can be a remix of a song that you believe represents a future direction in music. Near future or distant future – your choice. Use any tools to create the music. The result: an audio file (mp3) or a link to audio or video on the Internet – like Soundcloud or Youtube.
Due: before the 9/23 class. Send an email attachment or link.
