Kin.

Så har man äntligen kommit ännu en liten bit i planerandet av terminen jag ska spendera på State University of New York in Oneonta - kursvalen är gjorda. Jag och Robban var på möte i förmiddags hos ännu en skrämmande BBS-människa. Blev dock väldigt nöjd med kurserna och jag tror att det kommer bli riktigt bra det här (för väldigt intresserade har jag skrivit med hela beskrivningen såsom det står i katalogen):
 

• History of Rock Music - A survey and analysis of rock musik from the pre-50's to the present. Artists studies include Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and others. Also covers sub-styles of rock music including rockabilly, soul, acid rock, southern rock, country-western, hard rock, and new wave. 
   
• Record Labels in Pop Culture - A survey course exploring several record labels started in the 20th century and the impact they had on the music industry, popular culture and society. The course will cover the histories of these record labels, their founders, important artists and releases, executives and record producers. Some of the topics include labels such as Gennett, Sun, DefJam, Elektra, Interscope, Motown, Blue Note and Chess. In addition the course will survey the current record label climate and structure and how to release your own recordings and start an independent.
   
• Music and the Marketplace - A survey of the modern music industry, with particular emphasis on the recording and publishing business. Subjects studied include artist management and promotion, copyright law, artist and songwriter agreements, not-for-profitartsmanagement, and the music business in radio, TV, and films. Lecture/discussion format, with frequent guest lecturers including music business lawyers, managers, and executives.
   
• Audio Arts Production - An introduction to audio engineering techniques including the basic principles of acoustics, psycho-acoustics, multi-track recording, mixing and post-production of creative work. Computer based and analog recording equipment is used to demonstrate modern recording theory and practice.

När jag kommer hem så kommer jag vara ett snille. Bara så att ni är beredda, liksom.
