Sound-oriented day, working with various recordings I made during the past week and a half. Process: I’d already transferred the recordings from minidisk to the laptop, so edited and made selections of what sounded best. Contents: KL subway, monorail, mall ambiance, hotel check-in. Impetus: session in the audio lab tomorrow, to put some production enhancement into them. Result: completed one soundtrack that I was able to add to a refined versioned “Facts about Durian” animation (http://web.njit.edu/~funkhous/2006/durians/durian.html), which will be accompanied by read text during the MMU performance. More results forthcoming, presumably...

The only other project I delved into today was making some very late fixes to a couple of files of the eBook, which is already in production. Some copies of the cd-rom will contain these changes, others won’t—and that’s just how it has to be. To me, the media files are the crux of that project, and I don’t think anyone will be terribly put off by a few strange formatting foibles and mysterious typos that appear in one of the .pdf files (at least I hope not).

Tomorrow a meeting at the MSC (Multimedia Supercorridor) Innovation Center to discuss my forthcoming lecture there, and besides working on soundtracks in the afternoon I really need to spend some time focusing on imagery, and selecting images to project during next week’s performance. Plenty to do!
