Comments on Kerry Hall/Music, Here
As requested here's a post that can take comments. I'll move all of the previous post/comments tomorrow (I hope) and have everything assembled here for easy reference. And thanks again for all of the feedback and conversation today.
h and s class music blog
well i havent been by a computer for the whole entire weekend so i figured i would blog about the music i hear around kerry hall about now. when i would walk around kerry hall, i could hear the drum sets, the african drums, the jazz, and all sorts of classical music as well. it was really cool to just walk and pick up any type of music or sounds you could. you could also have music in your head as you were walking. for some reason, i started to think about the brandenburg concertos when i was walking down the hallways! who knows, this school gives off all sorts of wicked vibes. thats all for now i guess. peace .alex.
Kerry Hall Songs
Basement computer lab: "Love Machine" because of all the computers/machines
Basement kitchen: "Nobody Loves Me" worm song because when I looked out the tiny window I felt very small
First floor copy room: "Sweet Dreams" by La Bouche because the copy machines make this snoring noise
Second floor hallway: "Let Go" by Frou Frou because it was so quiet and empty and reminded me of Garden State
Second floor bathroom: "Far Away" by Carol King because it's a tiny place and seems far away

Kerry Hall Songs
3rd Floor Hallway-
Classic piano music. Specifically, songs that are typically used when at the barre.
Elevator-
The Greys Anatomy soundtrack. Anybody who watches the show will understand.
Digital Lab (Basement)-
"Turning Japanese" by The Vapors
I was overwhelmed by the abundance of computer technology.
Lounge-
"Brick House" by The Commodores
Simply because the first thing I noticed when I walked in was the brick wall. :P
Rm 114-
I don't know specifically what song I was thinking of, but in general this room made me think of Buddy Holly. The reason for this is that the teacher who had just finished up class really wanted to help me find inspiration in this room and proceded to show me the various instruments in there, one of which happened to be a harpischord, which I know Buddy Holly used in some of his songs. I think probably if I had to pick just one song I would pick "Rave On" because thats the song I immediately think of when I think of Buddy Holly...but I don't even know if that actually uses the harpischord or not.

Kerry Hall Songs
Our Classroom: I heard "London Beckoned Songs about Money Written by Machines" by Panic! at the Disco because there are lyrics in there that remind me of all the discussions we have in there. The lyrics that remind me go:
Hallway outside Classroom: I heard "Goodbye Love" from the Rent soundtrack for some reason. It just looked like a lonely hallway, one that you would say goodbye to someone there. And whenever I walk down the hallway in that direction, I'm usually saying goodbye to someone from class.
Basement: I heard the song "Crazy" by Gnarles Barkley because the white halls and clean feeling made me feel like I was in the ICU. I hate that feeling and so I rarely go down there.
Basement hallway: I heard "In My Own Little Corner" from Cinderella because it has this very lonely feeling to it. It's so long and I just felt like I was the only person in the hallway.
First Floor: As soon as I stepped out of the elevator onto the first floor, I could hear "A Elbereth Gilthoniel" from Lord of the Rings. This song makes me feel so peaceful and that's how the first floor always makes me feel, like I'm at home.
First Floor Hallway: When I walked down the first floor hallway, I could hear the song "Lacrymosa" from Mozart's Requiem. I think I could hear this since I have choir on the first floor very close to that hallway. Whenever I go to choir, Mozart's Requiem always goes through me head.
(Sorry this wasn't turned in earlier, I wasn't sure where to post it too!)

Kerry Hall Songs - Taylor
Elevator - 1st Floor
I couldn't help but think of the song Workhorse by Mastodon as a single student loaded the elevator full of musical equipment including an entire drum set, a stand, and an amplifier. The student was obviously the "Workhorse" for the day.
2nd Floor
Near the drum room I heard some faint sounds of drums being put away. The noises from the drums made me think about Day of Baphomets by The Mars Volta since it has an epic drum/bongo solo in it.
Front Door
I was looking out at the empty street from the front door of Kerry hall and i couldn't help but feel lonely since the street was completely empty and there was no movement other than trees swaying in the wind. This reminded me of one of the loneliest sounding songs I know Leap Your Bar by John Frusciante.

from Shane Small
3rd floor
In our class room the song was Julia by the Beatles. I think the class had a real warm ambiance to it and this is why this song was in my head. When I walked in to the hallway outside of our class another Beatles song came to mind, this time it was she said. I feel that there was a lot of innocents and love in the hall way with parents and children feeling the hall.
2nd floor
This floor had a completely different vibe to it for me as I walked down the stair well I felt an emptiness and silence that brought about the song lateralus by tool and when I entered the lounge area the song heart shaped box blared in my ear and when I stared down one of the empty hall ways the song hurt came into my head by nin.
1st floor
By this time the darker side of my imagination took over and I as entered the first floor lobby the song ghost by Tupac was in my head. I then stared down the hallway with the exit and the song the nine-year tide came to my mind from twelve tribes.

The Lay of the Land TENTATIVE calendar
At long last, here's an overview of what we'll be up to during the next few weeks. In part, I've been slow to deliver this framework, as so much new information came out of the charrette that will likely influence the trajectory of our projects over the next year. Also, please be aware that as cluster opportunities (for collaborative work) arise, I'll be editing this posting, revising locations and dates as needed; this is just a guideline.
Reading assignment for Mon, 10/15: Anne Lamont, “Bird by Bird” , also purchase Invisible Cities (see prior post for info): we will be utilizing this as our primary text for the next few weeks, followed by a course reader for the last few weeks of the course.
Writing assignment (post on blog) due Fri, 10/12: “Maps”/Kerry Hall sound/music map-- listing spaces, the music they conjure, and brief descriptions of how the spaces & sounds go together. Please consider this as a draft, a document we will build and change throughout the next couple of weeks.
Fri, 10/12: Cluster meeting in MCC 303, viewing Streetwise
Week 7
Reading assignment: Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities
M 10/15
Schedule Mid-term conferences, to take place during Week 8
Discussion on Lamont (above), In-class reading/writing on “In Praise of the Humble Comma”, Course evaluation for mid-term discussion during the next week, schedule reading timeline for Calvino, also reading Lars Eighner "On Dumpster Diving"

Week 8
Reading assignment: Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities (continued)
Kerry Hall/Capitol Hill focus. Building off of the sound exploration of Kerry Hall (and responding to Invisible Cities), we will be making multiple excursions (physically as well as written) into the building, examining scents, lighting, cinema, etc.
M 10/22
Discussion on Mid-term check-in forms (Charette, readings, course format)
Writing project: As we will not be meeting as a class on either Wednesday or Friday, you will be working independently on a writing piece that will be due next Monday, October 29th. Using the draft that you wrote for the blog (on the sounds triggered by specific areas of Kerry Hall) as a point of departure, you will be developing that work into a fuller piece. Your writing should include the research/music/spaces you've already addressed, but should expand on those in some way. For example, you may be inclined to add locations and music, mapping a route you take through the building and the sounds you hear along the way. Or perhaps you may choose to move outside the building (I wouldn't blame you at all, the weather has been really nice lately), using the first places you visited/wrote about/picked music for as starting points-- where do they lead you in the city? How far can your route go and how does the music/sounds of the city follow along? In writing this piece (and I'm not going to suggest an appropriate length that it has to be, but rather ask that you consider it as a work that you will develop over the course of a week), consider both how the physical route you take is mapped as well as how the sounds/music are related to that route and to one another. Could your writing be similar to liner notes for a cd? Or more precisely, perhaps a soundtrack for the city?

Fri 11/16
Field work: Volunteer Park. For this trip, I'd like to try a different format: instead of me leading/framing the experience, I'd like YOU to design what we should be taking from this experience, and examining aspects of the park that interest you, and maybe all of us.
What I'm proposing is this:
We meet at Kerry Hall, and depart (as a group) from there. You (and from here on out, I'll be referring to a collective "you") decide how we get to the park-- bus? walking? carpool?
Bring enough money for bus fare, museum entrance, other costs?
Once we arrive there, my suggestion is we sculpt a scavenger hunt, of sorts, with everyone contributing some places we should see while we're there. In part, this is to frame some of the ways I'd like us to move through the city next semester, but it also reflects the breadth of experiences available at Volunteer Park. Haven't been to Volunteer Park before? An introduction is here.
Week 12:
Mon 11/19
Shared class with Kim Mackay's group-- my class shares drafts of their writings on Volunteer Park with Kim's class, who act as mentors to my group-- providing analysis and feedback on the writing.

For this version (keeping in mind that we will continue to work with this paper), please also consider the writings from the Course Reader II, and look for ways to synthesize your views with the views of Pierce Lewis, J.B.
