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 making it dynamically easy to edit and organise it. Other important thing in the track was that I decided to record my own voice as a experimentation of my skills in singing, In fact I never had recorded my voice so I decided to do it and also for creating an original remix track with my own style.

The bass is the base of the melody and the base of the style that gives the tone of modern , it is  like giving a kind of trap style. and the third thing that helps to compose it is the harmony of my voice in three different keys and using as well high keys and low keys, which gives the effect of harmony as if there were more than one person singing.

1960's decade  Social developments: Life of young people in the 1960’s Basically, most of new fashions, sub-cultures, violent facts and change of attitude started in this decade. As well as the advance in technology, there were main facts that involved changes in the politic that affected the society. The music industry from this decade was influenced by this facts.

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...
