Music Technology Forum: Week 11 - Oral Presentations

This week in Music Technology Forum, half the class had to present their orals on their Portfolio. This portfolio consisted of: A CV, a mini CV, full tracks, a sample track, CD's with a cover and label, any additional features such as a website, multimedia etc. The oral presentation would show how much the individual has done to date.

Lauren used a great concept of a logo and a name for herself. The logo stands out, and when people see it they will know exactly what it is referring to. Lauren has worked in schools, bands, local artists and soloists. All of her work is going towards her EP.

Scott explained the profile he had written about himself. He was employed in a Music store mainly tuning guitars. He has communication skills, volunteering at a Primary School for work experience, and guitar skills as he has played his whole life. His songs comprise of recordings for bands, MIDI songs and recordings for Audio Studies.

Josh:
Josh decided to do Sound Engineering to gain experience in MIDI studies. His future is to make video games and music for video games. He has had experience in working for an accountant. His sample track consists of remixes of video game music and foley work which was rather interesting.

Overall, the presentations were well presented. I quite enjoyed them and cant wait to do my presentation.
