Tape recorder

Throughout the semester, when observing multiple forms of art; while all struck me to be beautiful, the one individual piece of work that I saw truly inspiring was the Bronze Head of Ife, which dated back to 600 A.D. This work inspired me because of how the art was way ahead of the time period in which it was created. The procedure to craft these bronze heads was complex in the way of casting the metal, and furthermore, it required large amounts of manual labor. This form of artwork was…

I was recently at a location and was asked “How do I get out of the truck and get to wear Shiny shoes”? I was a bit taken by surprise and never really considered the possible answer before. I gave the standard work hard and you will get there. Sitting in the airport I had to ask myself that question. How did I get out of the truck? Were my shoes too shiny?

In my experience, I do not think that our memory is similar to a tape recorder or a video recorder. It is hard to play a memory that is like a tape recorder or video recorder because one can forget major or minor details that might have taken place. A person cannot simply recall every small detail that already happened because you could combine memories together. When I recall a memory and I am not sure what exactly happened, I tend to ask someone who was there with me. For example, if my…

to systems such as Pro Tools and Logic used in studios today. Automation was also an important development in the history of multitrack recorders. The first system to be developed was the APY Allison in 1975. This system stored automation data on two tracks of the tape. Similar systems such as Neve's NECAM system used a combination of 2 tracks from tape and a floppy disk to store automation…

A documentary can best be defined as a visual representation of a past occurrence. Taking this simple definition and applying it to a large-scale production is challenging, therefore, it will be stated that in order for a film to be considered a documentary, the film must contain authentic material from the subject matter. In the text Visible Traces, Gregory Currie takes multiple cases and explains how each of them might add to the viability that documentaries are a collection of loose concepts…

“Tape,” by José Rivera, is a ten-minute play that includes only two characters and remains notably ambiguous until its end. José Rivera is a Puerto Rican playwright who grew up in a household whose only book was a bible.

As a reader it is difficult to visualize just where the play is taking place and what exactly it is about. The set is very…
