Personal Project Process Journal Version 2

# data[].attributes.body
Despite it being a fun and enjoyable process, at times it was not exactly easy. I had to face several challenges across the way. Whether it comes to organising time and planning successful meetings or physically creating works.

One of the major challenges was recording vocals. I had to go incredibly out of my comfort zone in order to accomplish and publish what I have done. This was very stressful, but despite me disliking personal singing, I feel accomplished that I have actually completed that aspect of music-making.

Another challenge would be planning. Due to pandemic, it was somewhat hard to plan meetings online. Sometimes different people might have different time preferences which would cause my personal schedule to shift.

Then, at first, it was quite hard to get familiar with the Logic software. As I was new to it, it took quite some time to understand the features.

Finally, I would say that coming up with unique ideas was the hardest part of my project. I would always come to a sort of “art-block” in which I would not know what to add to a song. Most of the time I’ve been able to get out of it, however it caused me not to release another one of my almost completed songs. It is hard searching for constant improvement, when you don’t understand what that improvement could be.

This was  the program on which I have made my personal project. Even though it was hard at first, I learned quickly and easily, as it was beginner friendly. It is an amazing experience to discover all hidden features of it!

They were very definitely worth it. Even though I don’t feel 100% accomplished with some of my work, I understand that I have highly exceeded my expectations.. It became really easy for me to use professional sound-making software and I’ve become more self-aware to a certain extent. These  have greatly helped me both technologically and psychologically. challenges

Most people enjoy music, as it typically helps them mentally in positive ways (whether it's deeply understanding yourself or simply relaxing)

You do not need expensive equipment in order to become a musician

If you'd like to create a song you need to think creativly and absurdly, yet stay organized

The way we process music is not based on our ancestry, however genetics could affect the rate at which we percieve melodies

Music enhances the neuron activity in our brain and helps make certain connection which allow us to percieve information, react and think faster

Music does not have a direct relationship with psychology, yet could potentially help people deal with mental disorders.

It is important to always keep your ideas, even if you think they are intitially bad, as later they can serve as great sources of insparation

Music is truly an amazing part of art. Throughout the whole personal project process I found out how valuable it is to express personal feelings through audible art. It was a very unique experience to try and symbolise my personal emotion through sound and express it in a way a particular audience will like it.

I greatly recommend you giving it a try to! Not only will you understand yourself more, while practicing doing something creative, but also you’ll see how relaxing and psychologically-pleasant this process is.

In reality, Iit does not require as much equipment that I have used. All you need is a working computer and any music software, most of which is free!

In the modern world, it is very easy to find many beginner tutorials online - pretty much through which I have started my music journey.

Yet again, it’s entirely worth doing! Even if you’d dislike it at first, it could serve as a helpful activity of pure imagination and innovation.

In june 2020, I started working on my project. I have thought of the goal in the last weeks of school and started preparing how I would write music. Over the summer I did a lot of research on song structure and lyric writing. Then, as the school year started, I started specifying my research and beginning to think of how I would actually make my product. I was picking the software along with the work ethic, specifying my goal and overall intentions. One of my biggest accomplishments is managing to conduct a pretty large survey upon my audience. Later In around october I started planning. I made an action plan and have kept a clear record of things I needed to do, whether it's contacting people or working on the parts of the songs. I also started thinking about how I could add on to my research through the product making process. Even though I was working on my product starting in the middle part of the planning part of the process, I started working even more towards finishing it. I completed one song early on and was working on 5 other ones simultaneously. Also, I have conducted an interview on a neurological specialist which did a lot of research on music - it was one of the most helpful aspects of my research. Finally, after it was all completed, came the reflecting part, where I analysed what I have done and concluded all my working.

“To write an extended play that could potentially have an impact on the listener’s emotions”.

However, over the time, it changed quite a bit. As I was not expecting the Covid-19 pandemic to last that long, it was initially “to write an EP, which would affect the listener's mental health and post it online for free listening” “to create an EP consisting of 2 or more songs which would positively impact the listener's well-being and perform it to collect funds for charity”, then later, I changed it to “to write an EP, which would affect the listener's mental health and post it online for free listening”. After a few more specifications, It was finally set to my current goal.
