It’s time to get back into the swing of things! This map was a quick build in order to practice embedding audio samples (via Spotify) into ArcGIS. I used data from Dr. Snyder’s Burleigh bible to include 13 known instances of Burleigh performing his own...

CURI 2019 is here! The sun is out and the Musical Geography website is open on my computer. Especially after reading through the interim team’s final blog posts, it is clear that we accomplished so much more than we thought we would. For one, all of our maps are in...

Over the course of this interim term, I have done extensive researching, map making, and web-app building. Today, as a class, we were finally able to present our work to the general public, and wow was it gratifying. When you are buried in folders upon folders of...

This past interim studying H.T. Burleigh has been a whirlwind. Starting out the first week of class, I definitely felt overwhelmed by the magnitude of work we had to undertake. Especially coming off of the East Asian music mapping project in which I had a rough time...

In my usual way, I went about starting this blog post by trying to come up with a witty (at least to me) title. Check out hits like On the Media (for you NPR fans), and Pulling Out All the Stops. Seeing as this is my wrap-up of H.T. Burleigh research, this title...

For my last blog post as apart of the Winter 2019 team, I would like to offer my reflection in the form of a list containing my biggest takeaways from this experience. If this was a CD, it would be a compilation album of all jams. Time is Money… But So Are Breaks:...

Well, it’s about time to close the book (or is it fold the map?) on H.T. Burleigh, at least for now. It feels like we’ve spent so much time looking into Burleigh, when in fact it’s only been a couple of weeks. In reflecting about the course, I’ve come to a few...

Throughout the entirety of January, I worked with eleven other hard-working student researchers to create our final project, The Life and Legacy of H.T. Burleigh, and what a month it has been! I wasn’t sure what the culmination of our efforts would look like, but I am...
