Group D: LATE POST 'Jamming in the Portal'
We were responsible for the portal during week 39 (Sep 24th-28th).This was the week we decided to explore playing music over the portal between the two campuses (UiO-NTNU) through TICO.The need for experimenting with playing music online came from both students and teachers. Many of us were eager to share the things we like to do the most (playing music). Also, there was a need to play music together for demonstration during 'Music Cognition' course. During the first jam on Tuesday the 25th, we played ‘Fly me to the moon’, a random blues number and ‘Wonderful Tonight’. During the music cognition jam, we experienced more difficulties with hearing oneself and hearing each other. Perhaps the best solution might be using headphone during those sessions.The connection itself regarding latency was not such a problem, although we did feel like we are slowing down at times.

A-team - From Attack of the Code to Revenge of the Synth
Today we first unpacked a Arduino microcontroller each, making circuits and controlling them with the Arduino IDE. We firstly ran a code to make an LED blink, then adjusting to our blinking rate of choice. We then controlled a piezo speaker with a script, programming melody by adjusting pitch and beat for each note.

Group C - Thinking outside the box
We started our day with a short preview off the blog posts describing our experiences form the 2nd day. We continued with a short presentation of Anna Xambo’s performance ‘Imaginary Berlin’ at the Web Audio Conference 2018 where audience participation was an integral part of the performance.

A-team - Phone sensors, servers and javascript
So, day two of coding was pretty much like day one: It startet with total confusion. Confusion then driftet into anxiety followed by panic. Then hysterically laughter and something that could be mistaken for self confidence because what I wrote in the code actually worked. Only difference today was that I thought I was having a hart attack around lunchtime, but it was only low blood sugar and dehydration. Coming home I went for a long run in the woods, looking for a Wolfpack I could join, just to make my life a little easier. Didn't find one so I limped my way back through the woods, trying to summarize the day, but the only word that came to my mind was revenge. Made it home just before dark. Tomorrow is another day. Probably.
