Since this is my first semester at NYU, I was not sure what to expect and how classes were going to run. I feel like I have taken this tech class at a great time, since I am also playing in new music ensemble. I go to new music ensemble right after teach class and I relate tech class to the ensemble. When the ensemble was deciding pieces to play for the concert Dr. Lamneck played us a couple of compositions and some of the works did work out for the ensemble, and some did not. I find it fascinating how these composers compose these pieces, while they use this amazing technology. I have always wondered what goes through composers head's while composing electronic music. Dr. Lamneck handed us a copy of a score we are playing and it took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to read and understand the score. Hearing Dr. Lamneck play this new music is really exciting for me especially since I did not do much with technology and music in my undergraduate classes. I try to figure out how she takes the music apart and the score apart and what she is thinking about during the piece. I feel these composers who compose this genre of music are absolutely amazing.
I will be perfectly honest and say I did not realize till I started these two classes how much technology has influenced music today. I guess I never really sat down to think about it. I feel like the creating of this using technology is amazing, and then when it's applied to a musician it all really comes together!
