On the 12th-14th of May, first year students of the UTS Design faculty stayed on Cockatoo Island to do field work in groups. Our assignment was to create three maps of specific features of the island in a non literal way. The brief was very open which was both easy because we did not have to follow rules, yet difficult because it was too broad. My group consisted of five members decided two weeks before the camp, Rosie and Eliza from interior design, Roy from industrial design, Yael from fashion
There are many different styles and forms of music, that have their own distinct sound. Each sound that is heard is the sound of a culture, each piece of music has a tie to places, ideas, thoughts and feelings based on opinions.

Complex themes such as usurpation, colonialism and the supernatural are interwoven into the plot to produce a play so diverse that it is widely considered to be one of Shakespeare’s finest works. Music and sound are dramatically significant in this diversity. This makes
so one just makes the most of it. All around the sights and sounds of the morning begin to take affect. Very few people are there in the beginning. They all are in a sleepy haze, yearning to be back in the sweet comforts of their own bed. There they can wrap themselves in a blanket of never ending warmth and dream a never ending dream. In the harsh reality of the morning, they are here in the chilly morning air. There are very few sounds in the twilight of the day. All that one can hear is the buzz
For Better or Worse: Controversy Over Wind Farm in Nantucket Sound For 100 years, Cape Cod has been defined as the ultimate summer getaway, a place to unwind and relax. A place where visitors can tan on the beach, play in the waves and sail in the sound. The result is a region that is absolutely dependent on tourism and tourism that is dependent on the Cape’s aesthetic scenery.

specifically arranged and distinct materials (Rowe.). They can be 3d printed in sheets, applied directly to a surface, or even be produced using a special method to silk. These metamaterials have the power to manipulate electromagnetic radiation including sound waves, light waves, and ocean waves. Most all materials have a refractive index which dictates how waves would pass through or bounce off of them. For example, a pencil placed in a glass of water will look bent due to the natural refractive index of

is lively and uplifting. As an evolution of Afro-beats- songs with African origins with upbeat rhythms and tempos come to rise it has gained attention from worldwide artists like Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus.

I learned a few things on my two days of being deaf. I used earplugs to help me not hear otherwise it didn’t feel authentic to me. A lot of stuff makes sounds that I never noticed before until I didn’t hear them, like my own footsteps on the tile floor, or my cat who I talk to a lot and he meows back in response. I never really noticed this stuff because it was the norm. Everything else that morning was somewhat normal, it was different eating breakfast in total silence; usually I have loud music
