M&T TIME IN THE ROCKIES: Getting Busy (and hiking a little)

Hello, hello from Banff again. We had a crazy change in weather this past week. It went from being about -26C to about 6C. That's way cold to above freezing. What does this mean? Well, not too much really except that it is not painful to walk around outside. In fact, it's been pretty nice today especially with the sunshine and little wind. Enough of the weather report!
What have we been doing? Mara and I have been waking up around 8:30, going to get some breakfast in the big Vistas buffet and then retreating to our workspaces. Mara's is a big studio in the ceramics area, and mine is a little hut with a grand piano inside. We've got some photos below so you can see the spaces and feel the snow! Mara seems to have some solid direction to her project (which you can see a bit of down below) and I'm finally getting some tunes to sound worthy of audience. Of course, I have to figure out how to perform them, too. I'm also putting together a sound portfolio for applying to Concordia University so I think today I'll be playing with a lot of sounds I've recorded, trying to squeeze out some sound design / sound objects / create sculptures with audio! Fun Stuff.
