Screen 1: Dance with Piano Improvisation
For the final product, we will project dancer's movements while improvising on the piano and using other visual effects.
I changed the original format of the movie by using a mirror effect which served to express loneliness and self-consciousness in the mind. In this movie, the dancer is constantly moving and talking to herself; she feels lonely and her mind is in a constant state of wonder. Sometimes she denies her ego, however, she is also reconciling with herself. Finally, at the end of the movie, she embraces herself and her loneliness.

Screen 2: Text Image for Waste Land
This is a text image of "Waste Land". Our team will use this visual image as a part of our multimedia music performance. The text images are constantly changing; the images express people's loneliness in modern society, which is a complex desire and wondering and endless feeling of loneliness in our life.

Screen 3: Piano Improvisation
We completed piano improvisation with visual images and sound effects. An-Yi Nien made impressive visual images and text images along with the poem, "Waste Land". Also, Yoojung improvised her performance beautifully while playing the images from the screen.
For our future performance, we will use 3 screens to project dancer's movements, moving visual images, and text images. The Screen 1 is for a dancer (right side), Screen 2 for the text images of the poem (left side), and Screen 3 is for the piano and loneliness images (center).
Music and Sound Effect
I made this sound file with Protool, a sound editing program in Studio D. First, Yoojung and Kay participated in recording session to record "Waste Land" in Korean and Chinese. Second, I added sound effects to make a ping-pong delay into the original sound.

Waste Land By T.S Eliot
T.S. Eliot (1888–1965). The Waste Land. 1922.
The Waste Land
I. THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD
APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.
Bin gar keine Russin, stamm' aus Litauen, echt deutsch.
And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.
1. 죽은 자의 매장
4월은 가장 잔인한 달
죽은 땅에서 라일락을 키워내고
추억과 욕정을 뒤섞고
잠든 뿌리를 봄비로 깨운다.
겨울은 오히려 따뜻했다.
잘 잊게 해주는 눈으로 대지를 덮고
마른 구근 (球根)으로 약간의 목숨을 대어주었다.
슈타른 버거호 너머로 소나기와 함께 갑자기 여름이 왔지요.
우리는 주랑(柱廊)에 머물렀다가
햇빛이 나자 호프가르텐 공원에 가서
커피를 들며 한 시간 동안 얘기 했어요.
저는 러시아인이 아닙니다. 출생은 리투아니아지만
진짜 독일인입니다.
어려서 사톤 태공의 집에 머물렀을 때 설매를 태워줬는데 겁이 났어요.
그는 말했죠. 마리 마리 꼭 잡아.
그리곤 쏜살같이 내려갔지요.
산에 오면 자유로운 느낌이 드는 군요.
밤에는 대개 책을 읽고 겨울엔 남쪽에 갑니다.

Final Project Plan
Our team had a meeting for the Internet2 project and planned to create new multimedia music performances using Internet connection and other technological mediums. After a few group meetings, we concluded that "loneliness" is a theme that many people can relate to today. We found that T.S Eliot's, "Waste Land" , fully expresses people's loneliness in our modern society. We will use English, Chinese, and Korean text translations of "Waste Land" to see how sound effects can create different impressions.
To sum up, we will make a music and dance improvisation with visual images and sound effects while connecting online through Skype or MSN. The following statement is our final project plan:

Problems in Music Conservatory Education: 3. Summary
Music conservatories should examine their traditional curriculum context in which music is produced, experienced, and evaluated. They should be aware of the fact that the significant portions of college students are now ethnic minorities and many universities have incorporated their diverse musical traditions into course offerings. The music of immigrant cultures became an important part of American music.
Conservatories should change problematic curriculums as soon as possible. It is very important to change the curriculum for the sake of formality and to add more non- music classes and practical programs, such as special programs or workshops for career development. Students should be more proactive to this situation and plan more for their music career. They need to research alternative solutions because the job markets are extremely competitive. For example, the student could research teaching positions or administrative positions in various kinds of community music schools, professional music organizations, and other music media companies including recording companies, music publishing companies, broadcasting companies.
