Technology/Equipment Grant

Purchase the portable recorder, microphones, and video projector as proposed. Begin using these items in the creation, performance, and documentation of work as outlined within proposal. Particularly, consider the degree to which the equipment is employed in: creating field recordings, sampling sounds of various instruments, including my robotic instruments, documenting works completed and in-progress in audio and/or video formats, publishing clips and/or complete works to the web and social media, documenting live performances, utilizing the projector to display live video feed of my robotic instruments in performance, developing work with captured video footage and/or generative graphics for future performances and exhibits. The audio quality of published audio and video documentation will improve. Performances utilizing projector will be visually engaging. Higher quality of documentation will increase opportunities for performances, grants, commissions, etc. Confirm that proposed items are successfully purchased. Confirm that proposed equipment is appropriate to my needs as anticipated, or analyze and explain any adjustments or substitutions to the list accordingly. Analyze and elaborate upon how the equipment has been or will be used to: create field recordings, sample sounds of various instruments, including my robotic instruments, document works completed and in-progress in audio and/or video formats, publish clips and/or complete works to the web and social media, document live performances, utilizing the projector to display live video feed of my robotic instruments in performance, develop work with captured video footage and/or generative graphics for future performances and exhibits. Has the audio quality of published audio and video documentation improved? How is the projector being utilized in performances? Has higher quality documentation noticeably increased opportunities for performances, grants, commissions, etc.?
