Circuit Bending - Final Day

So the final day was upon us, presentation day. We were assigned groups reasonably early on and I was working with Christine Marie Probert and Zoe Jamieson. Of course today we decided that we would meet up with our circuits and make something happen so it didn't all have to be impromptu. But unluckily enough we all had problems with our circuit at one point or another across the day. Like a little kid playing and tinkering with my circuit to see what sounds I could get from it when I knew I probably shouldn't have, the Piezo Disc decided to have a cry and break on me meaning it was back to the soldering labs yet again. A second home to me in university by this time already of course. So it was a case of soldering back the wires together so that sound could be heard and despite lacking the steady hands I managed to mend the broken Piezo Disc like brand new. So even though we planned to come together to ensure it didn't have to be an impromptu piece of course plans don't always work as planned. Zoe had managed to finish her circuit by the time we were ready but, Christine's circuit had a little malfunction, it didn't work despite working moments before finding our quiet room to practice. She got help from Simon from it before presentation but it was only up and running on presentation time so with that it was impromptu for us. Once we were up we did just that without and expectations of the type of feedback we were going to receive. But with the comments it seems like we did a good enough job. Another week down, with new information now stored into our brain.
