SOLO PERFORMANCE WEEK 3

Dynamics 2 

During this workshop, I learnt how to use the changes in the dynamics of a song to engage more the audience. The way as we can modulate the volume and intensity of our sound can impact the audience very well or very bad. Principally, because when there is an equal feeling in the entire song is possible that the song becomes monotonous or uninteresting.

Also, we made an exercise which was singing any song that we chose and singing it while another person was changing the dynamic of our volume by put up or down the hand. As well as,  that I was playing the guitar and singing at the same time, so It was very confusing and difficult to keep the tempo and the key during these variations of sound.

I definitely have to be aware of using this kind of techniques while I am performing to give more impact to the audience and to offer more interest as a performer who engages people by variating my projection at the time of singing or playing any instrument.

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...
