Well... it has been a long time since i've updated my blog. But here it is!
I just came back to my home country, Switzerland, for a few weeks to do my little assignment for school.
I am working on this documentary about the Swiss Guards in Rome, Italy, called "Al Servizio Del Santo Padre" (Italian), which means "At the Service of the Saint Peter".
My friend, Franziska Karpf, has shot it and i am doing the audio editing to it. Strangely enough, this is the first time i am actually working on a Swiss project for a Swiss audience. Until today, all the works i have been doing are done in Singapore and only for a Singaporean audience. This is an interesting new experience for me and that is also the reason why my final research for my BA is going to be a comparison between Swiss and Singaporean audiences and their percpective on music background for documentaries, only.
The reason why i changed my hypothesis is simply because Franziska told me that they have deicded not to use any music in the background for their project. I was a bit surprise, but did not realise that it did make sense to not use any music at all, but the original ambient noise of the St. Peter's place in Rome, Italy. The effect is really different compared to Singaporean local documentaries, where music is being excessively used, in my opinion.
The reason why i have been asked to increase the volume (!) of the music background is still a mystery. Hence why, i am trying to understand those 2 different cultures' perception of music and art (maybe) by working with Franziska's project.
Right now, i need to write my little logbook and upload some stuff. I shall be back, when i got more to say.
Cheers! =)

New Links
It has been a while since i updated my little blog here.
Now, i added a few new links. Let me introduce you to them.
Bio & PortFolio
It is a really important site for my business partners and collegues. Important facts are being mentioned. Fru!Track
This is a little project that got started through one of my assignments. It is later on going to be a business page, where my clients will be able to look for more information on what i am doing. Fruittilicious
Recently there has been some missusage of my blog. There are some people who just have so much time as to spam my entire comment forums with their really annoying advertisment on god-knows-what-this-crap-is-about. So please, be aware of those intruders filling your comment posts. So much about the new pages added in here. If you do have some more time to spear, go check this site i recently found out. You can create your own little animations and it's for free! =) (we love this word, do we...)
Here is the link: Flipbook!
And here are the ones i did, heheh:
"Huh??" - This is my first animation. I just wanted to test the site. Thus, the title and idea *wink*
"I love you..??" - This one is for my darling, but the title doesn't mean anything. I swear!! There is a bit of comedy behind the animation and therefore the "??" at the end. REALLY!!
Enjoy!! =)

Welcome Note
Welcome oh dear readers!
For such a long while i should have posted something in here. Now is the day. So first, let me introduce myself.
I am a Swiss female Audio Engineer Student doing her Bachelor (Hons) of Arts at the School of Audio Engineering in Singapore (SAE, Singapore).
Right now, i have plenty of presentations to do and other exercises i can't seem to start with... Anyway...
I have been living in Singapore for the past 4 years and doing so really was a difficult periode for me mentally and emotionally. I am not saying it is not a beautiful hot country here, but after a while, you just miss your cold homecountry, where you used to have snow somewhen, a colourful autumn and a superb flowering spring time. All this, i have been missing for quite some while now and the only moments i go back to Switzerland is for Christmas and New Year.
In 2002 i graduated from the Diploma Course of the SAE and have been working in the local media industry for 2 years now. I finally decided on doing my Bachelor of Arts, because i believe that a degree will help me in finding a more stable job than all those freelance jobs i had so far.
Currently i am working on an assignment regarding issues of all sorts. I will be talking about the debate on "the legalisation of partnerships for homosexuals". I will use this site to make some research and to collect (hopefully) some comments on this issue. For more on this topic, refere to one of the links at the sidebar. I would be more than thankful if you could give me any comments on this topic, which i believe is a very interessting one.
But for now, i shall create this new link, in order for you to leave me some comments.
Have a good day and i thank you for your time reading this! =)
Enjoy!
