Project ideas
Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.
Sounding Out Data
Have you ever wondered what a set of data sounds like? For this project, blend the tools of data scraping and music production using free software to understand how hearing data can change the way we see it. This project is excellent as either a sound art piece or a publishable research paper.
My Life: The Musical
Do you ever think that your life would be better if you could sing and dance through it? We'll examine songs and scenes from musicals (from Broadway, TV shows, and TikTok) and consider their narrative purpose and structure. Then, you'll write your own song(s) and produce a music video to upload on your social media site of choice!
