2015

On the 16th September, I provided sound education at a preschool called 'Playdays' located in Rouse Hill. http://www.playdayspreschool.com.au

This was my first gig of this kind.I introduced many of the kids to the concept of sound.I then recorded their voices, and transformed the voices into a swarm of bees, robots, trapped in a bubble, and various other things.

Key Roles• Educator

• Lesson Designer

• Sound Designer

• Performance Designer

• Audio Systems Designer

Key Achievements• By means of my sound design, I had some kids rolling on the floor with laughter

• In most cases, I made the kids aware of sound, what it is, and what we listen with

(i.e ears)• I gained much insight into how children operate in relation to preference, attention,

and stimulus that triggers a reaction.

2015

From the 17-30/07/2015I was involved in a project with the sound production company 'Sounds and Motion'.

The project was for News Corp in relation to their Come Together event held at stage 7, Fox Studios.

This event was organised by the event company Rizer.

Key Roles

• Assembler of the immersive sound system in the content creation studio.

• Source and purchase furniture for the content creation space.

• Creating a network for synchronising audio and video.

• The Interface between Artists in Motion (animation company) and Sounds and Motion, ensuring we are working with the up-to-date and approved versions of content.

• QLab programmer

• Immersive sound system operator at the the event.

Key Achievements

• This was my first event experience, Trial by Fire!!

• The Boss (Des O'Neill) was asking me to do things that I have never done before which was a huge challenge, yet I forged ahead not only learning more skills but also

executing the tasks.

• I spent 4 days working on Video triggering / sync configurations and because of that time spent, I learnt the cue scheduling program 'QLab 3' out of necessity.

This enabled me to be a big asset during prep and rehearsals at the venue.

• I was able to assist my boss with some issues (program functions, key commands) when he was searching for answers.

e.g

The Boss wanted to increase the performance of the computer, so I recalled my knowledge of Virtual Memory and did some research on how to do it in Windows 7

and made it happen.

It worked!!

• As soon as I arrived at the venue I immediately introduced my self to everyone.

I remembered 11 names and their corresponding job descriptions.

This helped me become more comfortable with the process, hence I enjoyed the experience.

• I used my 21 systems principles to decode these new environments,

information interchange, and my position.

• Live events are like tight rope walking, but the gig was a success.

• Observing Des create technical solutions was inspirational.

This motivated me to create units for system configurations (topologies)

which can be snapped together to make very complex systems.

See http://www.iosono-sound.com/news/detailansicht/3d-event-sound-for-news-corp/

for the IOSONO news report of the event.

2015

My Sister and I organised my Mum and Dad's 40th wedding anniversary.The event took place at Richmond Club and was for 82 people.

Key Role

Audio / Visual Production

Key Achievements

I used a systems principles model that I devised and applied it to the destination system stage and the creation system stage.This was a complete success!

All expectations my Sister and I had were exceeded and the attendees were moved by the results.I learned a lot about digital image parameters, image processing, image metering, and Final Cut Pro.

Before organising photos into FCP I wrote a broad event sequence.

This directly influenced my storage structures in FCP and the result was a low stress, enjoyable process.I became very good at making Scenes, Colour / Texture Convolutions and Story-lines.I also was able to utilise my music composition, sound design, and sound editing skills.
