MLV gives students the opportunity to share what they’ve learned or done that quarter with their peers, friends, family, and the public. It also gives students the chance to practice public speaking skills and see what’s happening in other Bellevue College classes, while faculty can show off what students in courses that incorporate HIPs like undergraduate research, project-based learning, service learning, and civic or community engagement can do.

“So this is a great opportunity for me to exercise my skills and gain more confidence to talk to people and especially strangers.” – Spencer H., Bellevue College Student

Projects from Previous MLVs

The No More Fast Fashion group seeks to change the way people think about clothing — away from the consumerist culture destroying our planet, to sustainable methods proven by history. To share their knowledge, they created a series of videos that address issues such as how to mend clothing, identify clothing quality, how to sew, and the environmental problems “fast fashion” causes.

Instructor Naeim Rahmani introduced students to the principles of Musique Concrète and the early electroacoustic techniques essential to its development. Students worked with everyday sound recordings – such as the sounds of a creaking door, footsteps, or machinery—as primary raw materials for their compositions. Through manipulation and layering, they transformed these sounds, detaching them from their original contexts to create new sonic structures. This process enabled students to explore the relationships between sound objects, leading to a new musical language focused on the intrinsic properties of sound itself, independent of its original sources. In doing so, the project embodied the core of Musique Concrète: the re-contextualization and transformation of everyday sounds into a new musical language, defined by the interaction of sonic elements, detached from their original sources.
