Students/Jose Lopez
Jose Lopez 3rd year ICAM student at the University of California San Diego. I am a student that has explored many art forms through my education. Though out high school and college I joined several music groups. I have been in a Mariachi, Steel Drum Island Band, Afro Cuban Latin Jazz Band, African Drum Band,and a Jazz improve band. I've also been in a couple rock bands Distorted Reality, The Icons, and I'm currently in The Leefs. In Southwestern College I was a commercial music major where I learned recording techniques with Platinum, Gold Record, and Grammy winning engineer Jay Henry. Jay's worked with Baby Face, Cristina Aguilera, LLCoolJ, and Public Enemy. While I studied in Herny's Studio I got to record local band and International Artist. I Transferred to CalStateLA to continue my education in Commercial Music but quickly figured they had a very bad commercial music program. So I transferred back to SWC where I started taking courses in graphic and web design and I recently transferred to UCSD into the ICAM major. Which can involve both visual and audio arts.
Right now I work at the SIO's Earth Guide creating Flash based educational programs for students K-12 and sometimes college and I practice with my band on the weekends.
I don't have too much experience messing with electronics. The only type of capacitor I know of is a Flux capacitor and I think that only works with 1.21 giga watts and if you don't have a DeLorean that could reach 88, forget it. I have very little soldering evperience my electric guitar and my amps but that was just to attach something that was already previously attached. I've checked out some videos on youtube about sound bending and crating guitar effects. In this class I'd like to crate something crazy I could use with my electric guitar. {Image:http://www.ology.net/blogs/music/Roland-GP-8.jpg%7C120p%7Ccaption}.
