Overall i think we worked well together and managed to do something we both werent 100% confident in doing which is writting an orignal song

I love Amber's playing and how the set of the song was matching with the lyrics and theme also

We took time to see how exactly we wanted the song to sound and did a few trial and errors vocally

Though in our final recording i wasnt well, i think we both did a good job and the orignal came out well for first time song writting

Though if we could improve something i would say diving more into song writting and how we could improve anymore (research wise i mean) and a bit more practice outside of class so we were less nervous and shakey about our work and how we sound

One of our tasks was to come up with an original song to perform in front of the class

So we took time and discussed topics, words, interests and how we want the song to sound to try and start building up an original song (which the notes of those will be uploaded)

At this stage our song went through a bit of a big change so not all the audio sounds the same and the final set song will be in our final performance.

However all the videos share the same idea, lyric ideas and theme of loneliness and wanting quiet in and out of the mind.

We were tasked with creating a theme tune relating to a halloween type tune

I had issue saving my tune so this turned out a bit messy and smaller then I would of liked but its simple, on theme and got me thinking of what type of music I can use to make more themes of any kind

Our next task was to do the same thing but for a movie scene this time.

I picked the movie Alice in Wonderland in the scene where she follows the white rabbit and goes down the rabbit hole into wonderland!

I tried to make the music light, innocent, filled with curiousity and a little suspense as she gets closer to the rabbit hole using instruments such as the flute, piccolo and piano to get the effect I was wanting for this scene to work with my music (start at 0:20 and ends at 0:59)

Next task we were told to do was create music based on a mood/feeling and make music that fits or would describe the mood at just a listen

For me I want to create music that gives off a daydreaming vibe. like you're brain is somewhere far away and thinking anything is possible.

For presenting my information to the class about my picked band performance, I wanted to do a poster/board design to bring in and show everyone my research and my thoughts rather then just talking about it while standing in front of the board.

I have always liked doing things in a more visual way rather then spoken and got my idea from my creative thinking class project I did back in high school, Showing off my work in sketch books and a visual model which was creative, out the box and done very well.

# data[].attributes.body
These are some research that i did as homework to help me get started on my project, who i wanted it to be on and some information to add to the final project

Bring me to life is Evanescence's most popular song, this performance is recent (only last year) but everything about it to me was so enjoyable to watch and got a lot to say/write about it

Everyone did their part, they all showed up, practiced, bring ideas/helped the overall performance, worked hard and everyone was kind and helpful to one another

I was worried personally overthinking that something might go wrong, I sing the wrong lyrics, I completely blank on stage, me or someone messes up massively, something stops working all that stuff i was worried about before going on stage which I think is common and normal

More time together I think would of been good (more so I was put into the band a couple of weeks in), attending practice, knowing the song better and singing (for me!) a bit stronger and more confident

I would speak out more, come up with more ideas, be more prepared mentally which I think I could do again with this band as I now know them more and love working with them

I was confident overall that we would get through the song, Willo's singing which she showed over and over in practice, everyone knowing their part and doing our best that we can do i was confident in before our performance which I think showed all of this

This is what my poster looks like all finished with all the information inside it and some small doodles i did myself to add onto the theme

# data[].attributes.body
We wanted to do something silly and fun to do for this task

So we descided to pretend we were a famous podcast who are over excited and happy while recording our lines for the podcast to bring in a bit of humour along with our bands/preformaces information

We also for are intro just came together and messed about on the keyboard to see what fit and what didnt fit (trial and error) which was fun exploring and getting use to the app logicpro

I could not download the file onto her as its too big so I put the link in instead and also sent it privately

Its also on moodle as well :)

I wanted to create music of what it feels like when you're brain starts to wonder and then start to daydream so once again I used instruments such as a harp, electric piano, 80s chime, chamber choir and more to get the soft, light, gentle vibe that I think of when I think of daydreaming.

It starts quiet and then more music adds into it before suddenly all going quiet coming back out of you're mind

For a Christmas tune I wanted to look at my all time favourite Christmas movie when it comes to the music and that is The Snowman

The tunes are fun, festive and just have a feel to Christmas to them that I want to recreate!

So I had a look at all the songs from the movie, picked out my favourite and went from there on how to create my own tune that gives me the same feelings and sprit of Christmas

# data[].attributes.body
Here is my Christmas Music Tune i made inspired by the movie the snowman!

I wanted the vibe to be like what it feels like to wake on Christmas morning, going down stairs and seeing the gifts under the tree. Telling a story through music.

I wanted my music to have a soft, light, happy, festive feel as the small story goes on and capture the feeling again of being a kid waking up on xmas.

Using instruments like the piano, bells and a harp to give the mood I want to give with this piece

We watched our performances and had to write down a reflection on everything such as what we did well, did wrong, what we could improve, aim for next time ect.

We wrote them down in a booklet so here is my reflection in my words on how i thought i did in my band performance.

# data[].attributes.body
We did a small gig interview after our perfomamce like a real band would experience in real life

It shows our thoughts and feelings so soon as we got off the stage positive or not.

More about our evaluation and reflection is on Jess's slide on padlet

# data[].attributes.body
We had alot of talking and ideas for what we want the orignal to sound and look like.

So we wrote things down in my book to see what worked or didnt and what people wanted and didnt want.

Everyone voiced their opinon and thoughts and helped with what the song soon became for our performance

# data[].attributes.body
Our band consists of

Me

Amber

Lana

Aaron

Luke

We descided pretty quickly we wanted our band pretty early 2000s, alternative, rock, upbeat so we wanted songs to reflect that as well as being in our range and our abilites.

Picking the final songs

Deceptacon - Le Tigre

Creep - Raido Head

Black Sheep - Metric

Go away - Weezers

# data[].attributes.body
Paired up with Amber to have a song to preform and we descided on an orignal song, something out the box and something we arent 100% strong on

But its new and something we wanted to give a bash at for our project together

# data[].attributes.body
Amber had some lyrics saved on her phone so we took them and added/changed and tried creating a song out of them. She sent the lyrics to me over snap for me to add onto and see if i liked it and how i wanted to sing it

Here are the lyrics first created with no change and still new and random

# data[].attributes.body
After a week or so we updated the lyrics and gave them a change so both of us took part in the song process and what story we wanted to tell

Not too much changed, it became longer and had more of a beat to it in my head rather then random words constructed as a song

# data[].attributes.body
Here is a video of Teenage Dirtbag practice, its our newest song at this moment we are practicing and started putting it together so its not 100% finished just yet

# data[].attributes.body
Here is another practice we did to our first song we practiced, this one was a strong perfomance and i really enjoy singing it and we got alot of process very quickly

# data[].attributes.body
We had alot of disscussion about how we want to perfomance the song choices regarding to doing it exactly like the oringal or changing it up a bit

Different speed

Different vocal range

Different style compared to the orginal

All trial and error and seeing what works and what doesnt work before the gig

I think for a first time song it turned out OK, nothing too strong but its listenable and catchy and something completely our own

I think quite alot changed from then and to the final recorded piece and i like that, it shows the change the song went too, bit more time put into it and just doing what we thought the song needed during recording

So depsite both songs sounding pretty different, both came from the same set of Snap lyrics from weeks ago and to me its procress and liked the development the song went through in such a small time
