1 A music producer is someone who overlooks and handles the Production and recording of a song or Album. A few examples include: Guiding Artists during recording sessions, helping with creative decisions, including their own ideas with instruments and mixing the music. A producer is someone who has to act as both tech experts but also as creative collaborators. Their most important task in their role is to make sure that the final track they create meets the artists expectations.

2 A Few examples of producer roles and responsibilities include: Budgeting and time management - This means making sure sessions are well organized within time limits. This is important to prevent wasted time, energy and money in the studio. Another example/role of a producer is Song arrangement - Making decisions of a track, so the intro, chorus, verses , bridge, outro. This is an important and crucial part because it affects how memorable and easily engaging the song is.

Hi, My name is Ryan Alexandrou. My interest in music started mostly from seeing an artist on TikTok called Connor Price. Currently, I'm studying level 2 Music tech i don't play any instruments at the moment but i am interested in hopefully learning to play the Drums soon. Some of my favourite bands/Artists would have to include: The Gorillaz, Myles Smith, Travis Scott and my inspiration to starting music Connor Price. even though they are all quite different from each-other Genre wise i find myself drawn to them all for different reasons mostly depending on my mood. A couple of my favourite songs i listen to on repeat would be 'Nice to meet you' by Myles Smith the reason is because listening to it makes me feel like i'm sat in the Country side watching the sun go down with a light summer breeze my other favourite is called 'Feeling Good inc.' by the Gorillaz this song makes me feel really relaxed when i'm stressed because i find the beat mellow. I've not been to a gig yet but i would love to see Travis Scott perform live because i know the vibes will be amazing and such a great experience for a first concert but to be honest id love to see any of my favourite artists perform live or go and support local artists performing too.

What is a music performer? A music performer is someone who entertains people with music, this could be live on stage or online. They could perform locally at town events, worldwide like some popular artists or reach people Globally via social media platforms like: Tiktok, Instagram, YouTube and Spotify. Being a performer could be a couple of things, so Singing, playing instruments, or even Dance. Some people stick to one thing but others may do more than one so make their performances more engaging to viewers.

The music performer has various roles such as rehearsing so they can perfect their craft and be able to synchronise with musicians. Live performances, where they can engage with an audience in a variety of setting including concerts, theatres and festivals. Also recording sessions where they can record their music for albums, media and possibly films.

A performer should be actively involved in promoting themselves. This can be done by demos, social media and interacting with fans. Networking is also important so the performer can build strong relationships with producers, other artists and others in the music industry.

A performer must also make sure they are looking after their equipment and instruments to keep them in good working order. They must also be organised, being able to arrange ways for them and their equipment to get to venues for performances.

A performer must be seen as being reliable. This means whether they are doing a rehearsal or a performance they should turn up on time and be ready to work. Reliability helps to build better relationships and a good reputation.

A performer needs to have technical musical skills such as being able to sing or play an instrument well. They also need to be confident enough to engage with the audience at a performance.

Some personal traits would be discipline, patience and the ability to adapt. A performer also has to be able to communicate well, be able to be part of a team, be reliable and to be strong enough to handle criticism and rejection.

In addition to this a performer has to have a good ear so they can recognise different pitches, they need to be able to remember music pieces quickly and be able to adapt.

My Aspirations in Music is to one day perform my own set DJ'ing for thousands of people live like 'Tomorrowland', while also producing my own beats for popular or upcoming artists to sing over. I want to achieve this because I would love my music to be apart of something really big one day. And my music to become part of someones memory that gives them good nostalgia whenever they hear it. I believe the best way for me to achieve this things is by finishing college and getting a music apprenticeship but also recording my own beats and posting online like TikTok, spotify and Youtube.

I have learnt some of the names of the Equipment today but i need to learn the rest I have also learnt about cable management and safety in the studio like not having food and drink in there because if i spill anything it can destroy the equipment. If handling equipment don't just throw it down, put all equipment back in the right place and if giving it to some one give it to them Gently

Travis Scott Performed live in Barcelona and. On the 4th song the music starts there's what looks like strobes of white lights flashing. Then i noticed people in the crowd with their arms out tryna hype the people around them. the crowd starts screaming notice groups of people herding themselves up the stairs to the stage with their face covered and wearing laid back clothes and then people running onto the stage with smoke lights while Travis walks out glasses. starts singing when it gets to the chorus of the song of the song he screams as the beat drops massive lights of fire surrounding the stage are set off and crowd goes crazy jumping up and down screaming the word. Hid set that night definitely includes a lot of yelling fire bright visual effects and the lights of phones in the crowd

The show starts with the weekend doing his opening song.  Around the stage there were red laser lights and a red background .  As he starts to perform you see his dancers all dressed in red costumes.  You then see black smoke coming out from the stage area, all the time the red lasers are lighting up.  In the middle of the song the beat drops and the crowd goes crazy , you then see the weekend’s body projecting on the big screen.  This image disappears and is replaced by a single red eye.  The beat drops,  you now see three similar looking people, which one is the weekend.   This is encouraging to his fans and they all sing along with him.  The performance ends.

I like this song because it makes me feel relaxed, it puts me into a better mood. In the beginning you hear sounds of laughter. Throughout the songs there's chatter with vocal effects to go along with the Trippy vibe, throughout the song you also hear the guitar and drums being played. The song doesn't mean anything to me specifically other than mentioned above the feeling of relaxation.

This is another song I like because it makes me feel energised and relaxed at the same time, this song includes an intense but ominous dark R&B style similar to The artist 'The Weeknd' a few of the instruments and sounds that can be heard in this song would be the Vocals of Chris delivering the lyrics with intensity, Sound effects and bass. This song makes me feel vulnerable emotionally because of the way its sung it sounds like its sung with longing and regret which makes me feel more emotional and empathetic.

Sound engineers

The sound engineer had a variety of responsibilities from setting up microphones to setting levels on the Desk. To mixing it afterwards and bringing everything together.

If a band was recording then drums, bass, guitar and vocals would all need to be set and then they would feed this into the desk and computer. Once this is done effects can be added and the audio balanced to bring it all together as a proper song.

Skills needed are being a good problem solver so that things run as smoothly as possible.  Communication skills are essential so the musicians can be told what they need to fix in order to get the job done.

Lighting Technician

Also referred to as lighting operators, sparks or electricians, they are responsible for all the lighting on a project.

Although a technician is responsible for lighting their duties will vary with the production size. On a big project they work as a team but will have individual responsibilities.

Besides the lighting jobs their over jobs include looking after equipment, keeping it clean and organised and in excellent working condition.

The equipment is tested and they set up the stage as rigging electricians.

Some serve as lightning store men where they handle all lightbulbs, filters and all other equipment in the lighting store.

Others technicians will control light movement and positions. They must understand the directors vision in order to be able to create the desired effect

Lightning technicians must be able to adapt quickly, anticipate changes and always prioritize safety.

Lighting technician skills

The lighting technician must be agile and resilient. They often work at heights and long days in unpredictable settings.

They need meticulous attention to detail and strong communication skills and the ability to adapt. Work accuracy and speed are crucial for successful outcomes.

On large productions team play is essential as is flexibility, strong communication and the ability to work individually are required skills.

This week I have learned  some new stuff on  Logic Pro  the stuff I  have leaned is it midi Is it basically instead of the using keyboard and the little mini pad. I can make different instruments on it like base drums vocals and over sound as well that was in Ewan lesson.but on Monday we also Leaning abort mixing but did Lean Anything Because feel like they talk to quickly and raver if the talk to me when it solo because think be better on understanding it and then Ewan split use into groups and everyone would set up bit but me some over people did get to do it we ran out of time

What is health and safety. The health is looking after yourself going out taking care of yourself and especially when comes to your mental health. In safety talk about in the work environment. But why is this important in the music industry? Because a lot of people go through a lot of stuff especially with the health they take staff like drugs or alcohol could be a loneliness as well body shame there’s a lot of different reasons so it’s important to get help cause you could destroy their career and the same with like making albums.

the safety sign is making sure all your equipment is tidied away not like why is tangled all over the place Make sure the equipment itself and right place and definitely have no  food and drinks when it comes to studios in theatres all live performance make sure the lights and the stage are safe no collapsing and make sure fans are not always crowded because it could lead to suffocation

# data[].attributes.body
1 one of the reasons could be if you have a wires/cables and instruments laying around that could prevent people from tripping breaking the instrument damaging yourself

2 I’d speak are to close to you could lead to your ears bursting/ damage

3  with live concerts  make sure there safe bit around the stage because if not there could lead to same thing that happened at travis scott  coverts

4 people could injured themselves carrying heavy equipment or repetitive motions.

5 cables, if it’s not sorted or make sure it’s not dust on it could  lead to a fire risk so make sure to clean them as well you’re equipment could overheat

6 another one is in a theatre or live concert make sure the lights

I’m not having down from each other because you need injury just like tight down to something

# data[].attributes.body
Why I think containing a good mental and physical health is important in the music industry because if you think about it a lot of people have symptoms with depression taking stuff drink/alcohol there’s a lot more like if I’m seeing the right word but body shame and as well pressure on making music I think a way to help this it’s always going out spend time with friends and family talking to people and I can get people in music industry. Don’t get to do that often and he can destroy them a lot. an example from a music artist  point of view.

Is Selena Gomez Explains that she had song she was to scared to sing it and an including   Selena Gomez to be put in mental hospital she was scared came back She didn’t know how she would deal with it again what happened if you happen again? As well, she says sometimes why am I famous? And  then she then she sed have to use it for good

She’s explaining her bipolar disorder she felt happy because she thought she would finally have a relationship with herself and that’s the best part she said How to live bipolar  she sees a therapist. She read books,writes music she tries to take what’s going on. I’m trying to send something beautiful

Selena Gomez  has beauty line it’s called rare beauty

she leaves messages on on a sticky I need them out of a random places to help her remind remember stuff and I think it’s to help her as well

Selena Gomez deal with anxiety trigger with a flare up of lupus before I perform America music awards she had been on stage for 2 years and she still did know if she was read  then she said was a good is having a song if you can’t sing it

From everything I’ve noted down showed that Selena Gomez suffered a lot and lot artists have gone through the same thing as well but also have been diagnosed with bipolar anxiety and

lupus put a lot of pressure on people when they diagnose stuff cause it puts them into like like a shock but keep on fighting and then eventually performing it goes to show that you’re not alone in the situation you always got someone’s back as well at the end of it she finally sings and she feels good about it about how she’s on stage she’s being happy

so this week why have I learnt? I think I’ve learned some bits of mixing but not all as well. We had online lessons due to a broken pipe on Wednesday we talked about health and safety reasons Chris made use  explain the reasons of health and safety and why is it important? That’s it because Friday off again to do with illness, my logic lesson hopefully next week I can finish my song and maybe learn a little bit more maybe figure out the assignments. I can then stuff more easy.

# data[].attributes.body
i have learned most of the elements. the boxes on the right we had to pick a song and listen. research and write what elements is telling us too do

# data[].attributes.body
What I have learnt so basically with Ewan and Suzanne lesson learn how to set up a mic Suzanne showed me how to do it as well how to set up a acoustic guitar for like the mics like where to put them and I remember some bits from mixing like a track but some of the equipment I feel like if you maybe show me, I can maybe explain what it does but I don’t have a greatest memory

What Did I enjoy? I mostly enjoyed it logic lesson with you in expanding some key tools of helping us make stuff some better. I remember him showing us these four bits and logic. It basically help helps when we use alchemy and choosing like it sound for the keyboard it put the keys we play in order so it doesn’t sound off as well. Any other lessons I say the first lesson on Mondays even if I struggled to learn a lot of stuff I’ve explained to Suzann if they could help me with remind me give me one to ones what I have learnt from Padlet .

So this will help me improve so discuss this with Suzanne one to one and also with Ewan as well, maybe like when we’re doing the lessons on Mondays, the work there they explain that we gonna do if they can print it off so I go home I can help me learn it . the lessons I have with Ewan and Suzanna depending on what they’re teaching us I have specific teacher that teaches me so I feel that would help me instead of being a teacher. I don’t understand teaching it. I feel this without me improve as well anything else I feel rushed and a person on my brain into really pain mode

# data[].attributes.body
So basically on Monday, you are tall acoustic guitar by where to put the microphone so we can hear through the screen that’s why I never seen that as well as I ask Suzanna if I could do one to one with her and ewan as well, I was doing my logic finishing my draft but you showed us how to mix.
