Hi, I'm Symone. I am a communications major with a minor in EDP, also a second-year student. I connect with EDP because I'm passionate about communication; and digital media plays a large role in the way we communicate with one another. Communication has so many practices that I wanted to really fuse the digital media with communications and use this learn how to communicate my ideas both orally and virtually. I have a lot of ideas and questions about topics like pop culture, social media, and other interactions and my goal is to expand on those ideas while in school.
Secondly, I've recently started to scratch the surface of learning about music production because I've always been interested in music and I find myself listening to the little details of music and the entire picture. I was in choir from 6th-12th grade at home, and I learned some basic music theory in that time. This drives my interest in music production because I was taught to learn all the layers of the music I was preforming. Also, I grew up listening to classic R&B and Pop music. Now, I listen for the layers in the music that I listen to. My latest fascination is AG Cook's production of the Charli XCX mixtape POP 2 that was released in December. It quickly became one of my favorite pop compilations because it had classic pop elements, but also had a futuristic interpretation of those elements that I didn't hear often. Production that introduces me to new things really intrigues me. My goal is to learn enough about music production that I can produce and find my own artist expression there to see where that could take me; whether it be a hobby or something that I dive into further.

Great to meet you here, Symone! Thanks for sharing your growing enthusiasm for music production. I think that sound technologies have always played such a crucial role as a kind of cultural barometer of broader technological changes ... everything from production to consumption of media, how we navigate through the world, how we connect to others, how we understand ourselves.
