Professor Eric Stark is an artist and architect who has taught at UMA for 20 years\, building Â鶹APP Architecture program into a five-year accredited degree that graduates design professionals each year who shape the physical and conceptual landscape of Maine and beyond. In the past decade\, Professor Stark has become a highly skilled and sought-after basket weaver\, bringing his profound understanding of design and structure together with making himself a student of a craft that\, as the works in the gallery attest\, marries tradition\, function\, history\, concept\, aesthetic\, and ecology. \nTeaching and learning are at the core of Professor Stark’s life and work as a design professional. During his 2024-25 sabbatical\, he demonstrated his love of teaching by becoming a student\, studying his chosen artistic medium\, basketweaving\, under a remarkable community of fellow maker-teachers. \nEric Stark: A Sabbatical Year Through Weaving is organized around the processes of teaching and learning\, including the teachers who enriched his artistic practice during his year of studio practice and research. Three sections: Learning from Others; Learning from Making; and Learning from Materials offer insight into the ways Professor Stark’s practice of weaving evolved over his sabbatical through the revolutionary intellectual and creative practice of learning.

Topics include choosing and positioning pickups or microphones\, navigating amplification options\, and using DAWs such as Garage Band for live effects and looping.

Special attention is given to looping as a solo performance and compositional tool\, highlighting layering techniques and methods for building dynamic\, evolving textures. \nThe presentation also addresses practical performance practice techniques: exercises for loop timing and phrasing\, intonation control with effects\, and managing transitions between acoustic and processed passages. Through discussion and performance\, this session aims to demystify the technology and empower musicians to confidently explore electronics into their creative work. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a curious music-admirer\, this presentation offers a comprehensive and inspiring look at the integration of music and electronics. \nRegister to receive the Zoom link.  URL:/event/playful-practice-electrifying-my-musical-instrument/ LOCATION:Jewett Hall\, 46 University Drive\, Augusta\, ME\, 04330-9402\, United States CATEGORIES:Alumni,Faculty & Staff,General Public,Students ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/wiehl-16x9-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260204T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260204T150000 DTSTAMP:20260419T054235 CREATED:20251125T164302Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251125T164809Z UID:10007430-1770213600-1770217200@www.uma.edu SUMMARY:Finance and Administration Office Open Hours for UMA Faculty & Staff DESCRIPTION:These sessions are designed to provide a welcoming space for staff and faculty to ask questions and receive informal training.
