Inspired by Bjork, cosmic horror, and the book \u201cAnnihilation,\u201d the music technology and physics major is bringing something darker to the world of indie pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMusic is like my journal right now,\u201d she says. \u201cI was going to be a math major but when I took [the course] Computers and Music, I thought, \u2018I like this too much. This has to be my major now.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A career in music is her dream, whether that be as a headlining artist or a producer for other musicians. This passion started in childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy parents had me take piano lessons in my friend\u2019s basement, and then they told me I had to play an instrument in high school, so I joined orchestra,\u201d Hake recalls. She has played cello for seven years, knows her way around electronic music software, and picked up the guitar last fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This summer, she used her Sarah Bickman Internship to turn her bedroom into a recording studio and is working toward a release next winter of an album titled \u201cSkinny Dipping into Golden Gardens.\u201d She is the sole songwriter, producer, sound engineer and mixer for all of her music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-peter-previty\">Peter Previty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"956\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/PeterPrevity3-956x1024.avif\" alt=\"student in green, blue, and purple sweater writing in notebook\" class=\"wp-image-29665\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.9336053006242471;width:320px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/PeterPrevity3-956x1024.avif 956w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/PeterPrevity3-280x300.avif 280w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/PeterPrevity3-768x823.avif 768w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/PeterPrevity3-1434x1536.avif 1434w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/PeterPrevity3-1912x2048.avif 1912w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/PeterPrevity3-1200x1285.avif 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Peter Previty \u201928<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter Previty \u201928, also known as Peter and the Paparazzi, is a student of pop. He spearheaded the on-campus club, For Lovers of Pop, where members gather to watch award shows, celebrate new music releases, and discuss pop culture. He looks up to campy artists such as Lady Gaga or MARINA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Previty, the curation of his persona is a part of the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeter and the Paparazzi is almost like my drag persona,\u201d he explains. \u201cPeter Previty is the person, the writer, the producer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previty is inspired by 2010s pop. \u201cI\u2019d listen to [Lady Gaga\u2019s] \u2018Bad Romance\u2019 on repeat at my grandma\u2019s house. And when I\u2019d see Miley Cyrus on Disney, I wanted to be like her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recipient of the Sarah Bickman Scholarship, Previty plans on releasing an EP to Spotify. He names the \u201cold Hollywood\u201d aesthetic, \u201cThe Twilight Zone,\u201d and science fiction as inspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listeners can expect to find his music upbeat \u2013 \u201csomething to dance to,\u201d as he says \u2013 but he also creates vulnerable ballads.

Will primarily partners with his brother, John, on mixing as well as leading recording sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe like telling a story through audio and lyrics.

Primarily an audio engineer with a knack for piano, Haddock loves music because he likes creating a world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe job of a sound engineer is to manufacture a space you want to be in, where nothing is clashing with each other,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He started working with the GarageBand app in middle school. He then started piano and jazz band in high school, but he credits Freyermuth for encouraging him to make his own music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For his capstone project this semester, Haddock worked on mixes for several artists, including Peace in the Chaos, DeAndre Nico, and Sweet Fighter. However, he hopes to soon release an EP under his own name, an electronic project inspired by Boards of Canada. He spent last summer at Farmview Studio in Philadelphia, setting up speakers, running sound checks, and learning about the world of live music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says the experience opened his eyes to new avenues as he pursues a career in audio engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-asher-rosenfeld\">Asher Rosenfeld<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Asher Rosenfeld \u201928 studied music all his life before he started to make tracks for video games in high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to think of myself as a jack of all trades \u2014 I\u2019m a drummer, a singer, an amateur pianist,\u201d he says. Rosenfeld currently plays for the on-campus band Sunfish, performs a capella with the Clark Keys, and creates electronic music in his spare time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He jumps between genres, emulating indie folk while on stage with Sunfish and then mixing video game tracks inspired by carnivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each avenue serves a different purpose, he says. \u201cWhen I\u2019m working on video game music, I\u2019m creating a world. In Sunfish, I love collaborating with other musicians. For my original music, it\u2019s super personal and comes from my emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/design-technology\/academics\/ba-interactive-media\/\">interactive media<\/a> and music major, Rosenfeld has carved out a niche for himself.
