MUSICAL IDENTITY AUDIO COLLAGE PROJECT
You will be making a 2 - 3 minute audio collage about the music you like and what you think it says about you. You can include favorite songs from your childhood and/or music that you have only recently started to enjoy. This is an INDIVIDUAL project which will only be shared with the instructor.
This project contains several components:
1) Reflecting on music’s role in your life.
2) Collecting the sounds that you want to use in your project.
3) Determining what those specific sounds mean to you or say about you.
4) Writing and recording a script that accompanies your music.
