Links
What are these links?
The following is a list of external links to sites that relate to me but which are otherwise not connected to this portfolio. The links I have chosen to include here give the casual surfer a deeper understanding of who I am, what I have been studying, and what I like to do in my spare time. A few of the web projects that I created for previous classes appear here, and, on a more personal level, some sketches and recollections of the Gilmore Festival are included as well. Please note that the new media servers at Alma College also host the Kiltie Band shows and Festival of Carols selections I edited and put onto DVDs for donors and prospective students. I am particularly fond of these clips and hope to continue editing the unending pile of mini DV tapes we seem to have accumulated here at Alma in the past few months—keep an eye out for new additions in the near future!
I hope you enjoy browsing these links as much as I have enjoyed compiling them!
Alma College Links:
Alma College Homepage
The official Alma College website. Come see what the Scots are up to!
Alma College New Media Projects Page
A portion of the Alma College website dedicated to various multimedia projects. Incidentally, it also houses many of the video projects I edited using Final Cut Pro.
COM 210 2005 Homepage
The official homepage for Alma College's Introduction to Digital Media class of 2005. Take a moment to peruse the projects of my peers!
Other Projects:
COM 303: P2P Project
This is a page that I built this winter for my COM 303 class. This was a group-based research project on peer-to-peer file-sharing services, and it addresses many of the debates that are raging over these applications right now. Yes, the page was created using plain old HTML tables. I make deprication look good! ^_^
MUS 201: MIDI Projects
Here is another page that I built for a course in music technology. Though old and not entirely aesthetic, it contains some interesting MIDI loops, an audiography, and pictoral explanations of the many applications I used to complete my projects.
MUS 340: The Gilmore Festival
This is a link to the first large web project that I created, which was a research project on Beethoven's thirty-two piano sonatas. This was the final project in a spring term class I completed four years ago called the Gilmore Festival, so yes it is old and depricated. I also only had about ten days in which to research my subject, find the 105 audio files that I needed, and get the silly thing up and running. So no, the site itself is not very pretty. Regardless of its flaws, this was a huge undertaking and I feel that it deserves a link.
View my short documentary to learn more about the Gilmore Festival!
Personal Sites:
Mare Somniorum's Elfwood Gallery
A link to the gallery I have on Elfwood, which is a site for casual and professional artists alike to display their work. I am more of a casual doodler, but please feel free to peruse my sketches and leave a comment or two!
Mare Somniorum's LiveJournal
A link to my weblog. Keep in mind that this is my diary, and, to a degree, it is personal.
