Composing Task 1

Remix of  "Come together" by The Beatles. This is my explanation about the remix of come together by Beatles. As a result, I have decided to do very simple changes that makes the song to sound very different, in fact. I could say that I decided to change as a main part of the song the drums because in this case the song is created with the special style used by the drums.  I decided to change the rhythm of the drums because I think that it could change the context of the whole song from 90´s and 60’s music style to a more modern and enjoyable rhythm which is  more complex and faster. I can say that is enjoyable more faster to make it complex because the normal rhythm of the song is 80Hz and if you change it to 90Hz or 100Hz, the style of the sound, sounds more modern even when the difference of the velocity is not so remarkable.   On the other hand, I did not change the chords and I did not add any keys to the song, because at first I think tha...

Composing Task

Remix of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson: This is my Remix where you can click on the link and go straight away to listen it. https://soundcloud.com/juan-jo-estrada/remix-of-billie-jean-1 Analysis of the Remix as a composition and edition: At first, I would like so say that I decided to do the remix with this modern style because I wanted to give to the song a new style and a kind of different sound more calm and slow, it is an idea that keeps the same lyrics . Also, I used as main base of the melody the sound of the kick of the drums and some claps, which are quantized to keep in the same rhythm in the whole song. But when we listen to the track, we can recognise the syncopation in between the beats of the kick and the beats of the claps whereas the bass is with same beat but also is not coordinated with same rhythm as the percussion giving the modern effect and not the pop style rhythm. It was very useful to use the seasses tool to cut some pieces of the track for...

The content of the performance was done by the musical theater students who performed about the next topics: - Independence - Drogs - Romeo and Juliet -  they danced contemporary style. - they interpreted different kind of monologue that represented different contexts in different situation or stories. were the performers successful in engaging the audience ?

Also, the quick change of monologues ...

INDUCTION GIG EVALUATION

Yesterday at Level 3 music performance, We could infer that it was a well-perform gig which had the place in the theater. At first, I would like to highlight the fact of that all the group performed as a team and showed a really good interaction and understanding of how to work as a team.  Moreover, the songs played were very well-known for their recognition and culture over the years in the music's history and development of this musical -world. In my opinion, I think that playing this kind of songs was something very beneficial because the songs are culturally enjoyable. On the other hand,  the performance of each member of the group was very confident which made a good presence on the stage. The most important thing was that everyone enjoyed and had fun in the gig, Also I could say that over time all of us we have interacted more each other and that is very good because we have got more friendship and confidence each other. Indeed, It s...
