Thurs 6/7/07

My group and I had our first meeting. We discussed the aim and possible directions we could take our first theme: hip-hop and opera. I think that it was an easy desicion to make considering that the three of us( Kimberly, Christin and I) have alot of hip-hop, opera and pop music knowledge. We have come up with a tentative timeline perspective and I suggested that we climax the presentation with a hip-hop ultimate fusion that will , no doubt, be the cherry on top of it.

I want to be able to parallel each genre's dynamics relevant to it's existing culture. No easy task but we are still brainstorming. It is nice to have a destination ahead. We have come up with a wealth of sources rich in the 80's which is when hip-hop was in it's nascient stages. Christin has piano and vocal experience. Kimberly has dance and hip-hop experience. I opera experience and am a vocalist. I wouldn't be too shy to rap if need be. I will be depending on my group to inspire me and this project.
