First I would attach a funnel to a gutter. Within the funnel there will be 2 or more color lights. I'm not sure how many yet. The lights will shine down on the rain captured and escaping the funnel. This will be a broken circuit and will convert to a single or a double circuit depending on how hard it's raining. The rain will run out of the funnel and into the first smaller, metallic like funnel that will be attached to the positive end of the circuit. Then, depending on the strength of the rain it will complete a circuit by it reaching one or two other small, metallic  funnels that are attached to the a wire that runs to a light then to the negative end of the circuit. This will be possible because of the nature of water. The hydrogen atom's attraction toward each other will keep the water together depending on the amount and velocity. That will create the bridge to complete the circuit. (This will have to be made waterproof).

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.

Midterm

Lovely Gutter: (some parts of the circuit will be waterproof) My idea is to use the rain as a switch and at the same time convert something with an ugly rep (the gutter) to something lovely. First I would attach a funnel to a gutter. Within the funnel there will be 2 or more color lights. I'm not sure how many yet. The lights will shine down on the rain captured and escaping the funnel. This will be a broken circuit and will convert to a single or a double circuit depending on how hard it's raining. The rain will run out of the funnel and into the first smaller, metallic like funnel that will be attached to the positive end of the circuit. Then, depending on the strength of the rain it will complete a circuit by it reaching one or two other small, metallic funnels that are attached to the a wires that run to their corresponding lights, then to the negative end of the circuit. This will be possible because of the nature of water. The hydrogen atom's attraction toward each other will keep the water together, depending on the amount and the velocity, creating the bridge to complete the circuit.
