Easter gig


Easter gig evaluation







During the last few weeks at workshop classes, we have been composing a song which involves everyone as well as the technology. 

In this performance, we achieved the interpretation of the song, but unfortunately we felt that It could have been better, so that in rehearsals it was more emotional and exiting. However, I think that we did pretty well in this gig, however in rehearsals we had some problems with the changes of key in between the bridges and the chorus.

Other remarkable point is that, the singers in the last rehearsals were struggling about the pitch and the tuning of the song but I think that in this gig they did really good. In addition, we had some rehearsals where some of the integrants came and some of them did not. Therefore, that complicated a bit the quality of getting the whole song played properly.

In this gig, also I would like to contrast the fact that guitar players usually in the rehearsals played an instrumental solo that there is in the song, but unfortunately in this gig the did not do it as they were expected to do it as their point of view and opinion.

I was playing the piano, and I have to accept that I was using an effect of the keyboard that worked as a bells sound, but I did mistakes at the beginning of the song because the progression of chords has D major not D minor, and It was played on D major  in some bars. I think I made  that mistakes because I was more focused on getting the syncopated melody within the gaps, so I definitely forgot to play the D. 

 In conclusion, the gig was really good, I felt confident on the stage and also everyone, however we can do it better.

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.

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...
