Erica Sullivan: Design Researcher

The second project in Design Research is Instructional Design. In this project, the assignment is to

A.) design a sequence of sounds using either ordinary household objects or an instrument you make yourself

B.) create a score for this sequence of sounds

C.) have a performer execute your score without ever having heard the sequence of sounds, and see how your performance compares to that

This was week 2 of working on parts A and B. I’m exploring all the different sounds you can make with a pair of wineglasses.
