This is supposed to be a short Paragraph about "What music technology means to me today." Generally, I don't like these sort of prefabricated thoughts that are given to me to write about, but since this is for a grade I suppose I'll make an exception.
Music technology, to me, is simply another outlet for artistic expression. Duh. The thing is, it's new to me. It's new to everyone, relatively speaking, but I've not had a lot of personal experience with music technology. The closest I've come to it is watching some one else take recordings of some cheesy stuff I've written, record and mix it, and then set it to a movie that we made. That movie, btw, is Once Upon a Time in Japan Two, Son of Once Upon a Time in Japan: The Musical. It won "Best Musical" at the film festival that we submitted it to. It's got a very small, but very dedicated cult following. It's a sort of jacked up comedy version of "The Prodigal Son," which as most people in the Bible Belt know, is one of those stories that Jesus told people. Music has always had two faces in my life; that for pure enjoyment and that for worship, and in a weird way, that movie is a form of worship. I follow Christ, and so I dedicate some of my music to him. I'm sort of interested to see how that will play out with sound synthesis and music technology. So Music Technology is just a new way for me to enjoy life and worship.

Send me a link to the movie. I think that it is important that your music is more than just notes on paper (or in a computer). I am composing a multimedia oratorio based on the the creation, and have the same thoughts in regards to some of my motivation behind the work.
