Hi everyone! I'm Cam Rodriguez. I am a junior focusing in Communications. My favorite kind of art has to be music, I love all genres especially reggae, acoustic and folk. I am originally from Marshfield, MA but am moving out to San Diego this fall! I have always been inspired by the beauty that the world gives us and the beauty that we are able to put out/give back.

The Impact of America's Musical Evolution

<p></p> <p><span class="s1">My curated collection will investigate the non-linear timeline of music and its impact on listeners. I am a firm believer that music does not “improve” with time as it is ever-evolving in new and unique ways. However, I do believe that the additions and discoveries for new styles of music creation to be relative.</span> Music folds over itself. In many aspects of life, not only in music, humans  have built off of past discoveries in order to continue their own research and eventual creation. </p> <p><span class="s1">After studying early European music pieces, I have been inspired to further explore musical evolution.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  Today's artists have access to all of the music that had been created and recorded. The ability to build upon certain sounds from historic cultures is imperative to what we hear now. </span>While modern artists have better means to effectively produce music, it does not necessarily mean that the quality is superior; they are  simply using preexisting music forms to build their own one-of-a-kind art. The connections I've made are between these ground-breaking moments in music history and what we still hear today.</span></p> <p><span class="s1"></span> </p> <p><span class="s1">The audience that this subject should appeal to is the melting pot of America. Music acts as an artistic timeline because it can poetically represent the emotions of the average person in the given demographic. The more that I learn and research of ancient music styles, the more I see a reflection in today's pop music culture.In this collection, I will emphasize the importance to be aware that while d</span><span class="s1">ifferent demographics of the world live and experience different physical existences; they experienced the same human emotions. Music helps to prove this idea, giving us the ability to pinpoint the feelings of the past, present and future.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p> <p><span class="s1"></span></p> <p>#AHMCFall2019</p>
