Review Two

What was the content of the performance?


The content of the performances was basically, the interpretation of modern songs that are actually famous and contemporaneous. I do not know very clearly what the name of most of the songs that were performed, but what I could infer was that some material was composed of them.

On top of that, I would like to add the fact that some of the groups developed their own style even when the material was not composed for them at all, but it was really cool to take place from that idea.

 Were the performers successful in engaging the audience?

First of all, the first two groups had something very interesting to perform and I could say that they demonstrated their effort as a band, as well as their constant rehearsals, to achieve that experience and confidence on the stage. However, in my opinion, I think that they should have achieved a better engagement from the audience if they had tried more interaction with the audience instead of doing a good welcoming such as; "thank you for coming", or as someone who was singing all the time giving the back, which was a bad idea and also the walking around form one side to other side was also persuasive for getting a better attention.  

On the other hand, I would say that the last group was amazing, I think that even, when they did not use any live singing voice, at least they knew how to use that idea to make more interesting and original their performance.  Also, I think that the connection between them was an essential characteristic that helped them to transmit a great impact to the audience, as well as the use of dynamics that gave more feedback and helped to fill up more the harmony and resonance in their material.

  

 What techniques did they use to engage the audience?

The first group used the accompany of all instruments as a band which helped them to interpret an interesting material.

I could find out that they used in most their songs the use of silence, this gave an engaging impact because the silence in a song sometimes is something that we do not expect so I could find out about it.

The second group prepared to take place based more on the use of vocal harmony which was very different from the previous group. they used the technique of ostinato to create that harmony that by the way, it was very soft and enjoyable more than the use of a whole instrument ensembling.

The last group used their own interpretation based on the use the alteration of melodies with the drums, synths and sub-bass which gave an original performance very engaging.


 What was a standout moment for you? (choose a particular song or piece) What was it about

this piece that made it special?


The standout moment for me was when JCP Finished their fifth song and their started to play songs one over other as a if that were a DJ performance, changing the style of music where they added a speedy rhythms with the drums and sub-bass. After, the rhythms increased the impact and then, the audience were dancing, that was great.

What was your overall impression of the entire event?

My overall impression about the entire event was that I really like the variety of  style of each band.
I think that everyone did not expect what each band came out with. 

Definitively, I could say that there is a big contrast in between bands where we could see the experience and knowledge.

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...
