My goal for this project is to create my own piece of music, inspiration for this piece will come from bands like Muse, Tool and Radiohead.

I am looking to create a "full" and emotion provoking sound using the key of G minor.

Prior to performing, since the Drum Kit isn't my first instrument of choice, and I also do not own my own drum kit, I would constantly get stuff wrong in rehearsals. Therefore this lead to worrying about whether I would mess up or not during the performance.

What I think went well was that the rhythm section which consisted of me, Oliver and Ben, did a fairly good job in keeping the band in time.

What could've went better?

Rehearsals definitely needed work, they were somewhat organised however it felt like most of the time wasn't being used properly, we did practice individual moments of struggle in each song very well, which would've helped a lot for when it came time to perform.

What should be done next time, have more confidence in ideas in terms of the performance, be more talkative about my own ideas.

I am looking to create a soundtrack to go with the short film "The Black Hole".

The plan is to make it in the key of E Minor.

While slowly building tension through the sounds used.

situation task action result

We were tasked with creating an appropriate soundtrack using Logic pro.

This is to go along with the short film "The Black Hole", a short film which depicts greed and how detrimental to ones character it can be.

I thought it was fitting to create a soundtrack which sounds eerie and disturbing, a gradual crescendo until a climactic (or not so climactic) finish.

I went with the key of E minor, given my love for the e minor chord and how powerful of a sound it gives, I decided to use this to build suspense for eventually what seems to be a big finish.

Things I need to work on for future performances:

Make sure to follow the same amp setup as in the soundcheck.

Have more confidence, don't look down so much.

Make sure to enjoy the moment and not stress so much.

So far for the performance class in our group we have chosen songs, gone through some compromises and started rehearsing.

I went for an experimental approach, not the most serious submission.

In preparation for the performance i decided to challenge myself a little by playing a slightly challenging song. I had listened to the album for a while and decided to learn that song for the performance as its really fun to play.

Looking back at the performance itself i realise i shouldve given myself more time to practice because to be honest i still wasnt 100% confident with where i was at with the song. However overall i feel as though my guitar playing has improved since the beginning of this course and the solo performance proves that.

If i were to do that again i would fully prepare myself and make sure my playing was as close to flawless as possible and also push myself even further than this time, as this was a valuable learning experience.

After doing the solo performance I realise i should get practicing with the songs for the 3rd performance right away, since we have rehearsal in 4 days
