The Visual Shift

What I did

For today’s class session, I began working with some screenshots I captured over break. At first, I was concerned that the images would not be in a a high enough resolution to project to the class, but after toying with some of the images over break, I don’t think that image resolution will be a concern. I also read some online reviews and articles about Clyp. As a pretty musical person, I’m really interested to see if Clyp can be used in a professional application or if it is merely a casual tool (read: toy). I’d like to discuss some of the more esoteric aspects of music, but simultaneously I don’t want to alienate anyone in my audience who isn’t into professional sound. I’ll have to find a good balance, come my presentation.

Why I did it

At the beginning, I was really concerned that Clyp’s bare-bones interface wouldn’t leave me much room for visuals. While I was still a bit concerned at the beginning of class, I think that I’m not thinking creatively enough. Clyp is an audio-centric interface, so it should make sense that my presentation reflect this. I’m going to look into incorporating more audio and perhaps video to better illustrate how my interface works. Because this interface is a bit “simpler” than the other ones, I really want to make sure that my analysis of it is thorough.
