The Project Book for Third Year projects for my university course was published today. Having read (almost) all the descriptions of the projects, there’s nothing that really grabs me, but there are a few that look quite interesting and will require some more research.
There is one particular music-related one which looks tempting, but I will have to give it some serious thought. In the past I have had trouble trying to link music-related things to my work. I did A-level projects in Electronics and Physics that were related to guitar or music in general, and I never really felt comfortable or got “into the swing” of the work. I seem to be somehow unable to connect my brain’s musical bit to the “I really need to do some work now instead of just messing around with the guitar” bit. If I do decide to go for that project, I’ll have to have a fairly good idea about what I’m going to do beforehand and try to stick to it. Fortunately it doesn’t really have any scope for being guitar-related as it involves MIDI files and 3D graphics, so it’s not like I’ll be tempted to just play guitar all day instead of working. Not that I ever do that anyway, of course…
I have a few weeks to choose my project, and I’ll keep posting updates about it as it comes along.
