TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â The only thing more important than the syllabus this semester is coronavirus safety as students and staff return to class with case numbers still rising across the country.
Both local colleges started the semester virtually to allow time to identify cases that may have occurred over the holiday break.
Before Florida A&M students and teachers get back in the classroom, university officials have updated its safety protocols.
Kate s conversation with Gareth
Just like the game s hero Fenyx, Gareth had his own challeges to overcome, including creating music for an open-world game in which the player can walk, fly or ride a horse to get from one area of the Golden Isle to another. This involved writing cues that could instantly adapt to different speeds, while maintaining the same unique sound indentity for each of the gods areas.
Getting the instruments exactly right put Gareth on a quest to acquire traditional ancient Greek instruments, which he finally tracked down to one of Greece s only remaining luthiers who crafts lyres just as they were made in ancient times. Gareth commssioned three lyres, as well as an aulos, which was played by wind virtuoso Kristin Naigus.
