Hello everyone, operation TWINWE is underway. In collaboration with the Electronic Media interns, the ESMP will be having a 2-night concert on Valentines Day Weekend (Week 6). Four to six bands/musicians will be performing in the COM building’s Experimental Theater from 8PM to 11 or so. Admission is free, so come check it out!

Hey everybody, meetings this quarter will be Mondays at 2pm in the 5.1 Mix room. For those who do not know that room, it’s in library 1326. Hope to see you there!
Well yesterday was a big day for us.. We had to present a budget proposal to S&A for this years project and performances.. Unfortunately…it got denied… JUST KIDDING!!! Everything we proposed for the budget was approved! So we’ll have an album/USB product, a concert mid winter, and a concert on graduation week!!
Well Fall Quarter came and went. We did make a lot of progress though! I want to thank all of those who have attended the meetings, provided feedback, and helped along the way, couldn’t have made it this far without all of you.
We were able to advertise through KAOS; the Cooper Point Journal; the Google Group Opium, a Reddit Subpage for Evergreen, Flyers, Tabling (special thanks to the tablers we had this quarter, hope you’re in for the next round!) including handbills, and through addressing the audio classes.
We submitted our budget proposal to S&A for a budget hearing on Wednesday, January 8th, 2014. That will determine our funding for the ESMP this year. As for the physical product, we have decided on a 4-panel Eco Wallet, an 8pg booklet, full color print CD, and a low-profile 4GB USB drive. In our budget, we also included costs for two concert performances. One performance would be at the end of Winter Quarter, and the other would be the Wednesday of graduation week. There is a possibility that we may only have enough funding, through budget negotiation, for one. Our aim is to have about six bands/musicians, selected from this years album, to perform at these events.
If you are still interested in becoming an ESMP member, it’s not too late! We have weekly meetings and welcome any and all students. A set meeting time is still being decided for Winter Quarter, but I’ll be sure to post on here once it’s been settled.
Have a Holiday and a Happy New Year!
If you are interested in joining the Evergreen Student Media Project committee this year, I encourage you to attend our weekly meetings! Each Friday this quarter, beginning tomorrow, we will have a meeting from 1-2pm in the 5.1 mix room (Lib. 1328) to discuss this year’s ESMP. Discussions will cover promotion/advertising, package design, song selection for the album, and plenty of other content regarding the project.
Hope to see you there!
Just finished up the summer Sound Design for Film course and the student work was spectacular! Here are a few pics!
Sebastian Lasbo has been experimenting on his own with synthesizers since he was 15, but Introduction to Electronic music was his first formal exposure to electronic music. He enjoys the infinite freedom that comes with electronic music composition and its universal accessibility. He’s a Northwest native that calls Lopez Island his home and a 2013 graduate.
Obstruction Pass
Obstruction Pass
This was my final project for Multitrack Composition. I wanted to create a blend of electronic and analog sounds within the context of dub and funk styles. I composed all elements of the song and recorded friends playing drums and singing, plus myself on bass and guitar. Two of my favorite microphones that I used were a Coles 4038 and a Cascade Fathead. I sequenced the instrumental parts with electronic elements and field recordings in Logic 9.
Let It Go
We’re happy to say this year’s album is currently being duplicated and we hope to release it the first week of June. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the release. We will be sharing more artwork and maybe even leak a song or two!
