WORKSHOP CLASS WEEK 2 (19th/09/2018 - 20th/09/2018)



Wednesday 19th/09/2018




Today at workshop class, we rehearsed once the song "Papa was a rolling stone", but suddenly, we changed of mind and we decided to compose our own song. I am really impressed by this workshop class because eventually, the melody of this new song has come up of my mind unsurprisingly. I started to play some notes in C#, and then the idea started to be developed between our improvisation of trying to get the lyrics to it.

The good attitude and the good intention of doing this composition make this workshop really work, I feel very well for the idea that just came up suddenly in the rehearsal. I hope to improve the song all together this week and the next one.

Here, I have attached the screenshot of the lyrics that we composed today trying to talk about childhood:

Today at band workshop class, we assembled better our composition. apparently, the song now has more sense and better lyrics, however, we still need to practise more and to get better ideas to add to it.

On top of that, the improvements made today to the song based on our teacher's help were really good. I think that there is an advance and better communication with each other to correspond to the band as a whole exercise of the workshop class.

I liked the way as the song transmits that psychedelic soul even when we use a structure and mainly because the chorus is very contrasting which takes out that psychedelic structure, but anyway the work made this week was really enriching.

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. Let’s Start talking about the youth as the beginning of the main point of view from this decade, so that when the teenagers were influenced by this new changes the next generations from the following decade would have a different view about life, culture, society and politic.

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...
