Symmetry is comprised of a recorded album, documentation of writing, production and mixing process, as well as a discussion of the current state and future of the digital age. The crux of the portfolio is a concept album titled "Symmetry," and the documentation that supports its production. Symmetry is a full length concept album in the form of a palindrome, allowing the listener the opportunity to rearrange the track list in different combinations that will seamlessly play within a digital media player. The album can be listened to front to back, back to front, or each pair or songs can be listened to into one another with seamless playback.

The focal point of the research is that digital technology has changed, and is in the process of invariably changing, the way that music is being written, produced, recorded, mixed, distributed, purchased or stolen. Everything is now connected both literally and figuratively in this digital age. We are all permanently connected to an endless amount of information just as we are all connected to one another through social networking. The digital (and internet) age is far reaching and still a relatively new technological phenomenon. We are now beginning to understand its effects on our society and economy. As digital piracy continues, so does the fight against it. We are soon to witness the implementation of a new line of defense that has the potential to thwart and end most illegal operations. If implemented and upheld in the near future, this new line of defense is sure to gain control over illegal downloading.
