A segment of projects utilizes computers and synthesizers and are recorded direct to disk. "Violent Skies" is a microtonal composition using a 19 tone per octave equal temperament scale. The "Berklee Album" offers students an exciting opportunity to demonstrate their musical skills in a professional quality recording project.
