0:00 - The tape machine needed to be tuned to F# to sit in the key correctly. This was done by slowing down the speed of the tape. We used the guitar tuner on logic for this.
0:03 - Milo EQ-ing the sound loop of the tape machine taking out some unwanted bass frequencies. He also had to  remove the pop that kept happening by crossing over the recordings.
0:11 - We ran Nathan B's Squire Strat into Milos pedalboard (zoomed in at 0:24) using a metal zone replica all at 12 o'clock into the Orange OR15 with a little gain on the amp.
0:36 - Recording guitar for ambient middle section using a Meris Enzo, pitch shifting delay into a Boss DM2 secondary delay for more repeats into an Electroharmics Oceans 11 reverb pedal with the mix on full
0:49 - Nathan H using the squire Strat through Milo's Enzo, into a pitch shifter which Milo is triggering to sweep the pitch. I am going up an octave each time to emphasise on the ascending outro.
0:59 - We set the delay pedal repeat to close to its limit to quickly make a sound that felt like a breakthrough moment to transition into the next song.
1:03 - Nathan H had the idea of making the pitch shifted octaves spreading from the centre to panning left and right by automating with a stereo widener to make the experience feel more immersive and large.

We agreed as a band to cover this song but to take the laid back, in 'the moment' feel of this song and switch it to mean we wish we were in the moment but are feeling too overwhelmed and stressed to be there. We feel this message is possibly more relatable to a wider audience. We represent entering 'the moment' with a cover of Thundercat - Them Changes (see below).

Another angle of our practise recording for the summative assignment. As we are recording the final version today, we discussed different lighting to match the feel of the song. So for the heavier sections we will want darker themed lighting (i.e. reds and purples) and for the end section we will want lighter colours, such as yellows and oranges etc.

For my press release, i have centred it around a hypothetical album release for our project, with the original track serving as the first single released in preporation foir the full length record. All Statements and quotes used are not legimate but used to demonstrate how we would utilise journalistic reviews as a means of pr within the context of this hypothetical release.

Missing the bass synth and visual aspects. Other than that a good representation of our final piece.

Nathan Benwell was absent but this is Milo and myself trialling jamming with a tape machine through Stu's pedalboard. Kieron Pepper and Stu both got involved messing about with the tape machine and pedalboard to try make some cool sounds. This is also the first time trialling the bass synth on the floor which I use at 0:12

0:34 - Rig order Line 6 Helix as a pedalboard, into an amp in the final performance. Pedals in the helix as demonstrated then go Phaser, Filter, Fuzz, Dual Pitch Synth, compressor then a volume pedal at the end.
1:47 - Intro explanation, verse 1, pre chorus and verse 2
4:10 - Chorus playthrough
5:20 - Passthrough into the moment 'A day in the life' by the Beatles style pass through to the next section. I use all the pedals and scrape the pick up the neck for an ascending feeling to the next bit.
6:49 - Thundercat - Them Changes interpretation. This is a very basic cover played simply, for a simple and calming effect to emphasise being in 'the moment'.
7:37 - Why 'Them Changes'? We got to the decision to use this song because we were finding new sounds and I immediately played this riff. The song is very calming and happy to me so seemed perfect as a happy ending to our cover.
8:07 - Full practice play through of our cover in my room to a video recording of us in lesson 31.03 also on the padlet.

Today we rehearsed the cover ahead of the performance recording next week. We tried to tighten up the transition from pre-chorus to chorus by writing a specific drum pattern that leaves space for the vocals to bring in the chorus without too much noise. The main lyric starts before the music of the chorus so we wanted the impact of the chorus to be bigger by using this method.

This was our first play through with vocals, Nathan B was trying to find the new melody to how he sings the parts. We also experimented with tuning the guitar and bass to drop D. We found tuning to drop D gave the song a heavier feel, and widened the dynamics a bit more.

Our second play through the cover at the innovation workshop today. The drum machine for Milo to play against to imitate but create a different feel to the double tracked drums on the original. The Bass also has more effects on now to make it feel more heavy and recreate a synth-like sound which is present in the original. The guitar is sent through a pedalboard on which Nathan B was experimenting with the Reverb, delay and blues driver.

We got feedback in the class in which the response was mostly that people liked the direction we were taking the song in but it was still a bit messy. However, this is to be expected this early on in the workshop. Finn had a nice idea for a polyrhythm for the drums at one point in the song. The song is 6/8 and Finn suggested to do alternating between dotted eighth notes and 16th notes on the high hat.
People were also requesting a vocal melody, but this will be added at a later date once we feel the instrumentation is up to standard.

Our first play through of the cover at small pond on 07.03. We only managed to get the intro, verse and chorus and chose to discuss how we can innovate this rather than finish the song as that would help us to move forward more.
