Sound Thinking is a way of utilizing the computer as a creative tool of expression. Both digital and analog signals can be manipulated using the machine as a "filter" for sound. With the advances in synthesizer and sequencing programs, as well as simple waveform sampling/editing it is possible (without the use of expensive MIDI equipment) to create sound collage, as well as more formal musical content. As an art student I have found this most helpful in adding a dimensionality and dynamism to my multimedia installations, web animations, and digital videos.
Here are some of the tools
that I have used for these projects.
Two video projects to view, both are a few megs.

Here are some of the sound collages, and songs I've produced since april 2001. The downloads are in .mp3 format, and are a few megabytes, so they may take a minute or two depending on your connection.
Below are images of the digital music studio in Lincoln hall Cornell University. I will be producing individual, independent work here eventually, as currently I am working on scoring a movie with the rest of the class.
