Intro and other things...

Hello everyone,

My name is Christian Lobo and I'm a Masters student in Mechanical Engineering. I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. I am very passionate about music and sounds and I'm very excited to be taking this class.

I'm not really sure if I can add much more to what has been said about harmonics. I tried looking up some videos that would show this phenomena and I'm came across this one. It's interesting to see how the nodes and overall shape increases in complexity as the frequency goes up. Also, this video shows the importance of the harmonics into identifying a known sound to us. I wonder how other things would sound if we take some harmonics out.

For the soundscape assignment, I created a random one which ended up being pretty cool and a fishing themed.

One last thing I came across a while ago and something I might be interesting in doing as a project in this class. It's almost unbelievable how you can manipulate and modify sounds to make them whatever you want given the right equipment.
