Reflection


Zaireeka. As I sat in class and listened in on that cool experience, it reminded me of a time when we would sit at the lake in high school. There would be two or three people playing there own music at their respected camp sites. Though none of the music was coming together like it did in the Zaireeka experiment. In the experiment we started by getting the cd players in time with each other, but after the first track or the timing was off. But the more I think about it, I realized how much time and effort it had to take in order for them to be able to have all of cd's lined up perfectly with each other.

Another time that this reminded me of is when in the dorms a few weeks back, there were two cd players that we had set up to try and play the same song in sync with each other. It took some time to get them calibrated, but when they were in sync it was really awesome and when they were out of sync it was kind of hard to listen to it. But this was the same problem in the Zaireeka experiment when the cd players were out of sync, then it was hard at times to listen to it when you knew that one of the cd players was off just because you wanted to hear what it was like when they were all in sync. Overall, it was really a cool experience and I was glad that I was able to be apart of that experiment.
