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 that I don’t really like other style of chords and also to change the tone of voice o the tone of the guitar, changes completely the background which contains the style of this famous song.
In conclusion, I think that the thing that was better to do a remix with this song was to change the rhythm of the drums.

Composition 



My composition is very simple, but strongly rhythmical, because I decided to do the piano with the chords of E and F, but without playing the chord completely together , I played the keys by couples, this is the following order of the keys that sounds in the piano;  A + C , G + B , F + A,  G + B , A + C.

The Rhythm’s song was created with syncope because I put in between the spaces of the piano’s melody the rhythm of the drums which gives the sense that the percussion and the melody are not sounding at the same time. That gives the syncopation.

Also, I added some claps to make the kick more remarkable companied of the claps at the end of each bar. If we listen carefully we can identify that the claps makes stronger the rhythm that goes in 4/4 but seems faster for the syncopation in between melody and rhythm.

When the piano starts in the first bar, we just are listening to the melody of the piano, and the tick-tack of the metronome, we can say that, that is the tension of the track. The liberation in the track is when we can listen that the piano ends the first two or three bars and after, the rhythm of percussion starts and then, there is when the tension starts, which gives the variation of the track, from calm and slow to choppy and faster where I added the kick strongly on time at the beginning of the third bar to give that remarkable change.

Half term holiday advance

In this half term, I will be working on my song "I wanna know you". 4th/april/2018 Today, I recorded the introduction of the song, but first of all, I remembered one of the tips from one of literature review which says that always we have to record first the instruments with louder frequency, but I started recording the base of the guitar and then I started adding the instruments. This song is in pop but I will add the reggaeton patterns at the chorus. This is a recording of the introduction of the song: The following audio is the same recording but with the effects on it. I have added EQ, Compressor, Pedals, reverb, delay and a phaser to create that sound: the next audio is the intro with the bass melody and the piano melody. Also I have made some panning and some equalisation. However, those intruments were created on logic but the guitar as same as the song "nine letters" is recorded by a USB microphone and edited with e...

Bernhoft who uses the looping on his music to creates the melody in every single instrument. he uses a dynamical and an interesting range of different acoustic instruments, such as the bass, the percussion, the hooks and the second voices. Also, he uses his voice to create repetitive phrases that contain like a Dj effect at the end of the phrase of the hook. He uses the loop pedal very well to create a live recording which is very interesting because he recreates an acoustic kind of instruments just with the guitar and his voices. In addition, he accompanies himself with the guitar giving dynamic to the song, because even when everything is looped is not monotonous and repetitive in the whole song. he really knows how to put in and how to take out the recorded channels a tempo. Jermaine Dupri is an artist who uses the MPC a lot in his songs, this is more used to his urban tracks. I could identify that because in almost all his songs, the...
