The End?

Well, this is it. My last post on this blog for Musical Cities and my field study in Paris. Fear not though, I will continue posting as I gain more and more information about the Golden Ratio in relation to art, albeit with longer intervals in between each post. It is very surreal to think […]

Home!

Yesterday I arrived back in Seattle to do the readings that I was not able to do while in France and to create the remaining products that I assigned myself to produce based on my study. In this post I will speak about the things that I have noticed about the differences between the culture […]
