The issue of student debt is an invisible but ever-present aspect of the college experience within the United States. While this debt can sometimes be deemed necessary to cover the increasing costs of attending college, the risks are high with just over 10% of borrowers defaulting within three years of receiving a loan. Research has shown that many students are unaware of the size of the loan they have taken out to cover expenses and that some students are even unaware they have taken loans out to begin with. This implies that there is an opportunity to present new ways of engaging with student populations about the risks regarding student loan debt. I will present a paper on my work of art “A Good Education (Explorations in Data and Music)” that discusses the design process, the aesthetic issues surrounding the translation of data into musical scores, and the recording and exhibiting of this body of work. The work is comprised of three musical scores and accompanying audio recordings. Each score explores a different set of data with varying compositional methodologies and instrumentation. I will also discuss the challenges of presenting this body of work, the outcomes, and audience response over the duration of the exhibition.
