Feedback for my self-
I mixed the Korean traditional song '군밤타령' with hip-hop and also add some classical sound and EDM sound. I think it was pretty well represented but there were some weakness that I made in my project.
My music didn't had the impact except for the bridge part(last part) so it was kind of boring. I made Repetition for the melody of traditional music to emphasize but it made the sound boring. And also, tempo was massed up in some of the part because of my playing skill and also on the part that change the rhythm. I had to check the tempo more detail.
However, by using the notes of the traditional song ,there were correlation between the part and I emphasized the purpose of my song. And also, by using the hip-hop structure(intro-verse-hook-verse-bridge) and mixing the traditional Korean drum beat with hip-hop beat track, I mixed hip-hop and my song well. And I tried to mix EDM sound to give modern pop music that could show modern image.
If I change some weakness that I could make more better music than i made.

feedback about peer's work (Minju)-
I think she interacted her traditional sound '태평가'=늴리리야 with hip-hop pretty well. By mixing the hip-hop drum beat and the melody of the traditional song, she made fusion song. She also put traditional melody by playing with EDM sounds, so it presented fusion music well. And she used many element(EDM sounds, classical sound to make audience(who living in nowadays) interest in her music.
However, some of the parts, she put only the track that in the list in garage band, so it wasn't really creative and didn't show traditional feels. And also, between each parts, they didn't really connected each other because song changed suddenly with out any sound that can make it more smoothly. And also, EDM classical sound didn't match it properly because she just put it separately with no connection.(and they just played different notes) Last part of this song also didn't finish clearly because there were not any sound that has the impact that could give the expression of end.
If she add some fills( the element that could use when the music change the part) to make it more smoothly , play same notes and codes(to make harmony and connection with those ) and improve the last part to have impact by using some sound, she could make more better music for mixing two different song. (it will help to make the song that expressed two different features for fusion music)

Feedback from Minju
- ' I think you played the piano by yourself(the melody), and I think your play had some mistakes so there were not smooth. And also you have to make he beat changing point more smoother because it canged suddenly'

After I get the feedback from minju, I decide to make the second beat changing point more smoother. Therefore, I put stain grand piano sound after the beat stop and then I changed the beat.
(in the second beat changing point)
And I re-played and record the part that didn't really well-played.( the melody line in the verse 1)

In the morning,
I add some instrument at the hook(classic electric piano) And after that I deleted the 8 and add classic electric piano instead of that and played it again.
And I put the beat after the hook(same one I used in the first verse)-4th dimension beat.
Also, I checked the process journal and I found out that it wasn't really detailed so I wrote it again with several name of instruments and tried to describe change of the music.

I started to make verse.

With the classic piano, I played and record the
hook's melody line that I made. And I put the beat(ballad beat drum).
And I decided to repeat the front part(start of the verse part) after I finish the verse part.)

*I not sure what is verse so I research about it.(actually, I wasn't sure that I could use the ballatic(?) sound and melody(slow and calm melody, tempo)

hook- In the hip-hop music- after some verses(part that climax of the music)-it usually with the chorus.

And I knew I can put the melody that I put( it could be anything; but giving the change)

And I thought classic electric piano was not fit in the melody so I changed it to 8 and played the melody

I  fixed the music overall again.
First, I deleted some part that made some mistakes when I played it.( I just deleted the part that I pressed wrong in my play ;not the whole line of my play)
And I moved the lines which is not natural.

*I put the start verse after few tempo and removed. (because it was not really natural;it was too fast)
-fixed the interva between intro and verse

And I decided to make hook for my music and I decided to make some melody(different melody from first part)

# data[].attributes.body
I knew I didn't really understand what is hip-hop  and what is the important part of it. Therefore, I researched about hip-hop.

Hip-hop: Hip-hop is the music also called as rap music. It first started in United state in 1970. The important elements in the hip-hop music are; MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching, break dancing and graffiti writing, sampling(synthesis) and beat boxing).
Derivative forms: Electro, break beat, old school jungle, drum and bass, trip hop, grime, break beat hardcore, neo soul, big beat, trap.
Stylistic origins: electronic, disco, rock, funk etc.

structure of the hip-hop music

intro-verse-hook-verse-hook-bridge-hook
-hook is the important part
*it should be some change of mood

I thought hip-hop is the music whicht has heavy grove and music and has gloomy melody. However, from researching that, I knew music that I made also has the element. But I think here should be hook.(need)
And also the form of the hip-hop I found is general form, so I will cut some and just do

I put the melody with  the bass and other instruments sound that I chose the last time. In the beginning of the melody, I put the notes which are the same as the code. However, the subby bass didn’t really mix with the classic electronic piano sound(it was too cracking with each other), so I changed the instrument to a singer bass(low one). And also, wide suitcase didn’t mix with the piano sound as same as the bass, so I changed the wide suitcase to soft square lead(low one). However, in my opinion, it didn’t really fit with hip-hop.(something missing).

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to make some changes into the beat( that shows climax). And after I go over the notes of melody, I put a different beat track (Busy Boo beat) after the first round of melody. And when the other beat track goes again, I repeated the end of the fourth part of the melody.

Also, I tried to put the ‘disco delight beat’ before I start the melody(with the beat), but it seems really weird so I deleted it. After that, I tried to find the bass that could improve the melody part, then decided to use subby bass and I chose the wide suitcase to improve the melody.

I changed one sound track before I start. I first changed a crush stepper to dark chord to give a darker expression.

And after that, I tried to make a melody line and first, I chose an instrument for a melody. I decided to use a grand piano and played with it, but it was not really in tuned to hip-hop and EDM sound because it didn’t have any electronic sound. Eventually , I changed it to classic electronic piano. After that I put the notes of my chosen song. (I put one line and stop, then give term to show the rhythm of my song and continued the melody. )

However, after I did this, I knew the beat was so simple and it should be some change.

# data[].attributes.body
I put the beat and some edm sound at the intro and put the melody of the song ' 군밤타령'( Gunbam Talyeong).

After listening, I have decided that the melody doesn't fit in the beat that I made because the beat is heavy but the melody is too light.

Therefore I deleted the melody and just made an intro sound with EDM sounds.

Instrument= classical electronic piano, crush stepper, neo soul( the beat before the melody begin)

# data[].attributes.body
I made the beat for the music(hip hop beat)

I made the beat with the korean traditional beat “자진모리장단” and I mix it with different beat track after I made beat with the instrument.

-it's rhythm was kind of  mass up

- so I changed the main rhythm of this song, originally it was 12/8 then changed to to 4/4.

The instrument that I used was - Bass drum (Heavy drum sound), 4th Dimension beat

Country: Korea

-Music that I will use : '군밤타령'( Gunbam Talyeong)

+This song is about a person buying a chestnut near the sea in cold winter, and that person was really happy for buying it.

Purpose in the past- From this ,we can see their normal daily life, but it is still something precious for them. Therefore, from this song, we could notice their had hope.(by this song they express their hope that wanting richness)

Nowadays-
However, nowadays, people don’t really realize how precious small things are because they are not really poor like the past. Therefore, the purpose of this song doesn’t fit in the people living now; to them, it is just a fun song.

* This is why I choose this song.
-To make them(people living now) remember the important value.( thanks for small thing at know the value of them)

My arrangement for this song

Style: Korean traditional style + hip-hop

Target: People who like hip-hop and who are not really familiar with the traditional song

-With the Korean drum beat and soundtrack, I’m going to mix some hip-hop beats and rhythm to give a strong powerful sound.

-Instrument: some electronic instruments( guitar, base. )Main melody: Piano, Main rhythm: drum

This song has Korean traditional rhythm called "자진모리장단' (jajinmori-jangdan)
