I have some problems in running your link, for rawgit.com -> pls link to the index file. But when i go to here "https://rawgit.com/Pacour/Aesthetic_Programming_2018/master/Mini_Ex1/empty-example/index.html", I can't hear the sound. I guess is because of the folder problems (as you put in the same folder as empty-example, but your mp3 is actually placed outside of that folder). Luckily you have the video so I kind of guess what you have been doing. (next time perhaps you try to click the link and make sure things work? )

Thanks for your great description of your work and your reflection on your coding process. You clearly know what you are working on and able to understand how the functions are operated. I am impressed by different new syntax that you have used and combined, such as loadsound with the callback function 'loaded', for loop, map, frameCount, and push/pop(). Although you have programming experience before, I think visual programming and this kind of coding is quite different . Another interesting thing about your process is actually driven by your concept and desire, where you have a particular focus e.g 3D in relation to audio. In this way, you are very focused on finding ways to solve the problems and explored various ways of visualization.

Your clear explanation of preload() function is also very thoughtful, because you explain your intention and limitation of the sequence. This also shows that you have a precise way on how you want the program works.

You totally got my point of 'practice'. What you can really learn the most is by doing and experimenting and reflecting.

I also enjoy reading your last bit of writing on literacy. As you mention about empowerment in reading and writing text, then what do you think about the notion of empowerment in relation to code? What does it mean by empowerment beyond economy and employability? You hints at critique and reflection upon code, then I will further push you further to think about 'how'? You have also mentioned about dysfunctional programs and the nature of code can be understood as a practice of knowledge, i think this part is really intriguing and I look forward to seeing your next reflection.

Keep it up.
