Prior to the rise of rock & roll, country music was rarely heard outside of its intended market, effectively isolating it from any concerns about wide accessibility. When rockabilly took off, however, country musicians were forced to consider whether their true affinities lay with traditional country or with this popular new style, which allowed artists to reach crossover audiences for the first time. This flirtation with the mainstream marked the beginnings of country-pop.

ndie rock's more melodic, less noisy, and relatively angst-free counterpart, Indie Pop reflects the underground's softer, sweeter side, with a greater emphasis on harmonies, arrangements, and songcraft. Encompassing everything from the lush orchestration of chamber pop to the primitive simplicity of twee pop, its focus is nevertheless more on the songs than on the sound, and although both indie pop and indie rock embrace the D.I.Y. spirit of punk, the former rejects punk's nihilistic attitude and abrasive sonic approach.

Indie Pop is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Pop-centric music made independently. It is characterized by its production; whereas standard pop acts often employ a team of writers (often with the artist in question having little-to-no involvement with the songwriting), indie pop acts write all of their songs by themselves (occasionally guest writers may be involved to help with the creative process, but it largely comes from the heart of the singer). Standard pop acts are often signed to a major label, and take heavy direction from those labels in both their image and sound. Indie Pop acts are often signed to independent label and have full creative control over their music and image. Although some indie pop acts are signed on to major labels, they're used solely for the distribution of their music.

The Intensions of the work
COUNTRY MUSIC

Your knowledge of music theory

into - starts of with single strumming patterns of Em C G D wise before i start singing

Evaluation
Simple chords, Strong storyline, Memorable chorus, country Instruments.
1 A simple Chord progression. Generally country depends on a limited number of chords. It is not musically complicated and this certainly contributes to its popularity and playability.

2 Country music should have a strong story line. “The Band Played Waltzing Matilda” or “Pub With No Beer”, illustrate the point.

3 The song should have a simple and memorable chorus, which supports the storyline and is one reason so many people find it easy to recall and sing a good country song.

4 Identifiable instrumentation. Organs, orchestras, strings, wind instruments are NOT country. Guitars, banjos, fiddles, pedal steel guitars, harmonicas definitely are. There are exceptions of course but instruments must be played in a country manner.

Some say that geographic locations are a factor, insisting that a non urban setting is an essential ingredient. But there are plenty of examples of successful country songs that don’t have country locations

Intro, Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus

Tash Sultana's Notion begins with an instrumental with the use of simple chord structures and layered melody lines, this song is very simple for its genre you could also describe it as an andante feel. However, because this song has 3 sections it makes it easy for a listener to engage with. Throughout the start of the song, you can hear the main melody lines that use unison to compliment her chord structures. this ostinato style has guitar riffs loop gradually which are accompanied by layered instrumentation of alternative melodies and harmonies being played on the guitar you will hear this style of arrangement interweaving between the rest of the song.

At a tempo of 122bpm which is roughly the standard for musicians to work with on logic pro because of this, she is able to sustain guitar slides and hammer-ons for diversity and complexity in a legato structure, I personally feel this is a great way to make your music sound more interesting rather than just having simple chords.

The fact that this song is in E Minor, she is able to have a wide verity of chords consisting of the pitches of E, F sharp, G, A, B, C and D. Throughout the intro you can hear the main guitar pattern that has a finger picking concept of overlapping sequence that is looped to get the base down for the song I think that this is an affective way to gain a musical structure for the song, because of this she can layer her main melody that forms that descends down with the use of a hammer on.

She follows this main melody with a higher harmony with the effect of slowly introducing single strumming chords of C, Em, and D to add more depth and texture. After the guitar part she moves on to a simplistic drum pattern which is played on a MIDI drum synth which is repeated for the chorus which is described as "boom, clap, boom, clap, boom, clap, boom, boom, boom, clap, clap, clap." this alternating drum pattern has a standard time signature of 4/4 that adds a sturdy structure.

With repetition and dynamics playing a huge part throughout this song, she is able to use her voice to take center stage. At the verses she starts singing in a free motion also known as ad libitum, the vocals very light and the phrasing sometimes mixes with the instrumentation. Her pitch has a smooth blend transition between head and chest voice due to this she has a wide vocal range which means she and can easily go back and forth form, especially with the use of a harmony pedal which feels ridged and digitalized but still tends to bring out a powerful and rich performance. The harmony pedal used is set with the full four harmony setting as another way to add depth to the chorus.

The main instrumental located near the end of the song is a strong guitar solo, with the use of a Boss distortion pedal she is able to maintain a strong and complex melody that includes bends, slides, and hammer-ons which give an uplifting and spiritual feel, I personally believe that having a styled solo or instrumental located somewhere in a song works well when done properly, and over time you get to hear the main guitar riffs that are looped once more which build-up a diverse selection of dynamics.

The Intensions of the work

I wanted to make a reggae inspired song, with some alternative electronic synths and beats. The main aspect of this project was to use syncopation which is the off beat melodic chord structures that fall heavy on beat 2 and 4. with the inspiration of "Jungle" by Tash Sultana.

Your knowledge of music theory

My knowledge when i think about the genre of reggae is that syncopation (Off beat) rhythm play an important role, with this iconic method you can normally identify when reggae is being played. Also the use of simplistic chord sequences will repeat throughout the song, this will allow a firm structure. the intro consists of very simplistic chord instrumentation with the guitar and piano, with a slight vocal introduction.

leading on to verse 1 where the bpm is 140, i chose to sing in a contralto. moderate low voice with slight bends and small vocal pitch changes that are sung with the acompinament of single chord patterns that are looped throughout this song, you can also hear a high and light piano melody line which lowers chords that is played through this section. Although the tempo is quite fast i still thought that as a whole it was slow this could of been down to the fact that added steady vocals. I wanted more layered instruments so i used the bass guitar as a added rhythmic pattern which is also joined with a lower synth just before the chorus. As i've said before layered instrumentation is a must for this song so i introduces different sections bar by bar, which slowly increase in dynamics by putting midi click tracks also forms a steady build up.

Every instrument is layered for texture, with the use of syncopation on the main guitar followed by a higher and lower synths to play a syncopated rhythmic melody line counterpoint to ive that reggae inspired feel. all structured together with a (8th) swing drum pattern. most instrumentation is striped back to allow the vocals to come through, just leaving the drum pattern, the syncopated guitar chords and piano. another aspect of the song that i thought was important was harmonies, "I stay true" - a higher harmony is added for texture and dynamics while the drum pattern is stopped/ paused at the end of the bar for dramatic effect. Throughout the instrumental consists of two main rhythmic vocal pattern that is later joined with a higher harmonies at bar 4 all while we still hear the syncopated main guitar pattern, a drum beat after each bar, guitar chords, piano chords and the light and high piano melody line. right at the end all rhythmic patterns are stopped leaving the two harmonies singing in unison with the, light guitar and piano chords. finishing off with that light piano melody line.

Evaluation

Most of the songs that i compose are normally in the typical verse, chorus, verse, chorus song structure, but because of this style of genre i got to try out different arrangement most of the time in reggae music it ha a relaxed feel which gives me the freedom to experiment with instrumentals, i personally think that my instrumentation works well in my song although there is room for improvement and i would love to add a real guitar solo.

- midi keyboard - adding extra layered instruments

- studio interface - to record live vocals and guitar

Honey you don't need

To understand - slight vocal bend

And how to lend a hand - slight vocal bend
Maybe it's just a game

Of chasing plans - change in vocal pitch/sustain

Verse 2  - bass guitar is added in a rhythmic pattern that is also joined with a lower synth just before the chorus

People come and go

Change their minds

Change their clothes

But  I stay true - emphasis on "I"

Maybe it's just a lie

How they made you cry

But I stay true - emphasis on "I"
A hammer-on is added  at the end of this verse

Chorus - layered instrumentation is introduces bar by bar, that is slowly increasing in dynamics by putting midi click tracks also forms a steady build up.

Blind devotion

all i had and all i did

couldn’t give you all

you needed yeah  - Hold note

instrumental - Every instrument is layered for texture, with the use of syncopation on the main guitar followed by a higher and lower synths to play a syncopated rhythmic melody line to give that reggae inspired feel. all structured together with a (8th) swing drum pattern.

Verse 3 - most instrumentation is striped back to allow the vocals to come through, just leaving the drum pattern, the syncopated guitar chords and piano.

People love and leave

It's just how how it is

They dictate

On how how you are and how you do

Verse 4 - just like verse 3 with the same accompaniment and structure

Don't you worry

ill give you all money

but in the end i stay true

I stay true - a higher harmony is added for texture and dynamics while the drum pattern is stopped/ paused at the end of the bar for dramatic effect.

Instrumental - consists of two main rhythmic vocal pattern that is later joined with a higher harmonies at bar 4 all while we still hear the syncopated main guitar pattern, a drum beat after each bar, guitar chords, piano chords and the light and high piano melody line. right at the end all rhythmic patterns are stopped leaving the two harmonies singing in unison with the, light guitar and piano chords. finishing off with that light piano melody line.

was there genre, band/artist or storyline that you were inspired by?

who did you work with and with want instruments did you use

was there any progerss

what you wanted to do

what you want to do next time

what things do you want to change/ edit

Overall music performance strategy

The aim of this music performance course is to create my own original music with the help of peer musicians, by collaborating with different people will come with different approaches of writing music. Also by working with other people will inspire alternative genres for me to include in my music.

The plan for time management will be organised into 1 hour rehearsals slots, this will encourage my flow of professionalism by engaging with many musicians. I feel like an hour with different musicians will be enough time to express what music/style/genre and lyrical subjects we want to work with.

Another main outcome of this course will be documenting on our hourly progress this will include written work of evaluation, pictures/video/audio for backing up the written work and uploading our documents on to NOW from the Nottingham Trent University.

Intro - (instrumental) Main guitar looping used with a higher harmony, slowly introduced with single strumming for rhythmic backing.Simple MIDI kick drum and clapping sounds are introduced before she sings (layering loops)

Verse 1 - starts singing in a free motion. all loops are paused except from the main chord pattern.
I hear the birds
When they're singing
I hear the sirens
When they're ringing
But I can't take my mind off of you
A thousand words, pouring out
The distance of over there
Is moving on and out
You said it'd be alright

Chorus - using the tc-helicon harmony pedal with settings on all four harmonies to add dept and layering. the Loops are introduced again for the chorus as well last the MIDI drum patterns.
How 'bout these notions
Hmm, they're deep as ocean
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah

small intro - with the use of a higher chord pattern on the guitar.

Verse 2 - all loops are striped back with just the main chord sections.
Tell your mother, she don't understand
Tell your mother, she's not listening
Why don't you tear my heart
The chain is made of string
I roll the dice
You seal the deal
That don't matter
Cause pain will heal
I will follow you
steady midi clapping section for the next lyrics.
Into the dark

Pause for a bar

Chorus x3 - the harmony pedal
is brough back in as well as the loops and  midi drum pattern
How 'bout these notions
Hmm, they're deep as ocean
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah

Gets quieter - all loops are cut out again, except form the harmony pedal, main chord structure

Builds back up in laters with - improvised guitar solo riffs with the use of distortion, use of bends, hamer ons and slides.

The use of a descending melody pattern is used on the guitar that is built up again with a higher guitar harmony. and suddenly drops  back down with dynamics
