Hello!
Thanks for visiting my blog! My name is Elana and I'm a junior at Brown University studying music and urban studies. This semester, I am excited to participate in a workshop for undergrads, grad students, and professors who are pursuing practice-oriented research. My project, “Sounds Like a Building,” is going to creatively document the construction of Brown’s Performing Arts Center (PAC). In the process, I hope to think more about how people, spaces, and sound/music/art interact with each other. Last semester, my final project for “Echoes of the Everyday: Telling Stories with Sound” focused on one of the sounds of the PAC construction site. My final reflection for that course also detailed some ideas I had about future directions for the project. Over the summer, I’ve been thinking more about where this project might go, and I plan to post an update soon detailing these ideas. For now, welcome to the blog and please post comments if you have any feedback, quest
