Keith's band workshop Indie rock (14/11/18 - 15/11/18)

Indie rock

Indie rock is the music that emerged in the 1980s.

When referring to indie, you refer to the bands and not to the genre, the indie music does not have a defined sound and is characterized by having different musical proposals that are not within the common.


The term "indie" comes from the independent word, and all the music that reaches the public by its own means, that is, without a record label that supports them, falls into this category.

Today at band workshop, we rehearsed for last time our own song in blue's style. But also, we were introduced to Indie rock. However, today we arranged better the blue's style because the sessions from the last week were really messy in terms of structuring a melody and trying to get the whole song.
Also, today we arranged better the tempo and the way as we communicate with each other to give everyone space into the song for a better assemble.











Thursday 15/11/18

Today at band workshop, we rehearsed the cover of the song 'Soon' by My Bloody Valentine of the  Indie style, which was very challenging because particularly this style contains vocals but the lyrics are almost understandable. There is a lot of echo in the guitar and some effects that make the Indie style very contemporary. Today we just tried to arrange the song with our tutor's help and also using a looping pedal to record the rhythmical sequence of the drums.

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...
