Go home or stay with me
I cannot wait for your plans
If its no, do not expect me to come back to you
You said you would come, but you did not
My heart broke a thousand times over
Where were you when I was calling your name
I means it just a shame

I found someone better than you
you are not the one for me
where were you when you were needed
you need to move on from me
When you will ever understand
I cannot deal with you anymore
My heart was dying while
I stayed with you
I will now go and you cannot stop me now

I want to use the track to create a mix of traditional Indian and English music. Though I was not able to get much done today as garageband was not downloading properly.

Thursday 22 Sep - Making lyrics for the song

# data[].attributes.body
Today I spent the class creating some lyrics for my song which utilises pasooris backing track and some of its lyrics. To create something new I also plan on adding some tanpura and tabla to the song.

Lyrics:Go home or stay with me
I cannot wait for your plans
If its no, do not expect me to come back to you
You said you would come, but you did not
My heart broke a thousand times over

I honestly think the lyrics might need some changing as many times I have pauses or stretch the song lyrics for a bit too long then is needed.

10 Oct - Improvising Texture and Structure and learning about other Musical Elements

# data[].attributes.body
Today we were working on improvising a track and we used texture by adding multiple layers of the same sound to create thick texture. Structure was also changed by changing the timing of when each instrument starts. Rhythm means a regular sound that is used consistently. Harmony meaning notes added together to create a pleasing effect. Melody means a string of notes played together. Timbre is the quality of music sound or voice.

# data[].attributes.body
I am making a song using the instrumental of the pasoori song and then making english lyrics and changing how the chorus sounds in punjabi. The defining elements of the song are that traditional south Asian music sounds and those classical song elements involved as well. The song is quite similar to the original with the same instrumental which means the same harmony, and texture but quite different lyrics and language as well as the tempo and rhythm being changed.

17 Oct - How I want the Listener to feel

# data[].attributes.body
I want the listener to feel some of the anger that one of the people in the song has and the sadness of the other due to their actions and the plea they have to the other person in one form. To make them feel that way I will change pitch depending on the character and the dynamics as well. I will also make the lyrics showing sadness and anger within themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I have fulfilled some of the objectives as I have made lyrics which can invoke the feeling of sadness with in the listener and made sure to change some of the melody and pitch as well making the song have a lower pitch and slower tempo. Though I have been unable to actually put into practice my lower pitch and tempo I have figured out how I want to be able to do this.

Figuring out new pitch for song - 24 Oct

# data[].attributes.body
Today I increased the pitch of the song after some feedback from Ms Scully. I also had to get used to singing at the pitch so today I trialed that.

# data[].attributes.body
I think what makes the Indian subcontinental music different to more western styles is the more importance put on the melodies over producing harmonies which are found much more often in western music. There is also a huge emphasis on rhythmic patterns and using tablas as the instrument to keep tempo over drums in western music. The melodies are much longer compared to western music as well as more syncopated music.

# data[].attributes.body
I will be changing the melody of the song as in the original the melody is quite quick with huge successive pitch changes while when I will be singing the melody will be at a slower pace with less changes and not as fast to make way for the change of language. With punjabi it is much easier to change pitch faster while in English more difficult.

November 28 - Listening to Rick Astley and Never Gonna Give you up

# data[].attributes.subject
November 28 - Listening to Rick Astley and Never Gonna Give you up

# data[].attributes.body
1.  What do you think was the original idea or starting point for the song in the podcast? What was the artist thinking about when the track was first being created?

The starting point of the song was when Stock Aitken Waterman wanted to create a song using Rick Astley's voice who was not trusted as he did not have a great track record. The original starting point for the song came when Rick told Pete Waterman who had a girlfriend from the same town and was telling him about a bad phone call with her where Rick says well you were never gonna give her up anyways. The first time the idea came it was Stock and Aitken trying to figure out what waterman meant.

2. What part/instrument/musical idea was recorded or written first? Were you surprised to find this out? Why or why not?

The part that was written first was never gonna give you up which was just a phrase they decided to create the song behind and make the title of the song. I was not super surprised as it became the title of the song later on and is the most memorable phrase of the song and is the part remembered the most.

3. Pick a moment within the song-writing/creating process where the artist or collaborators felt inspired - describe that moment, what about their story of their inspiration sounds interesting, relatable, "deep" or memorable to you?

They felt most inspired when they start the songs and you find he plays the chords on the laptop using programming and then sings a bit of a rhythm to it is when they first find that there is something in the song and felt like they could continue with it. What is interesting is how they did not start with a genre or chord but started first with a phrase which is quite an interesting approach to a song.

4. Once you have heard one of the musical ideas in detail (whether it's the drums, vocals, bass, harmony/chords, etc), try to describe how it sounds to you in detail using non-technical language and subject-specific vocabulary.

The vocals are quite complex as it has a quite soulful tone to it with the backing singers playing an important part to lift the vocals and give it the tone it needs for the song. The vocals are also quite high notes with a high pitch in order to fit in with the pop song nature of the song.

5. Describe the conditions, environment, and mindset that helps you feel inspired. Describe a moment in your life where you felt inspired in any way - what were the feelings and thoughts?

The conditions I would need to get inspired for a song are where I would just start listening to music and come up with ideas which I could then just try in the moment to find what sounds nice and feels right in my book. The environment I would need is very personal and very enjoyable where I can just find my mojo and enjoy. The mindset I would need is quite positive and ready to try out anything and make any mistake.

6. What is your understanding of what the artist (from the podcast) intended their audience to feel when they listen?

They want everyone to feel the devotion that Rick Astley has.

7. How do you want your audience to feel when they listen to your finished project from this unit?

I want people to take my music more seriously and wish to find my own take on the music better and find the song changed in a good way where they can appreciate my changes and I could then find the song and really feel like it is my own.

Pre making the song

What is the original piece of music? To which genre and style does it belong?

The original piece of music that I am using is Sajan Das Na, and the style of music it belongs to is Indian Pop.

​Who was the original COMPOSER, as well as performer? When was the piece written and released? In what format was it released? (I.e. single, album track, musical,)

The original composer of the song is Xulfi and Abdullah Siddiqui. The singers of the song are Atif Aslam and Momina Mustehsan. The piece was written and released on January 23, 2022. It was first released on Youtube as a music video first and then released on audio platforms.

What are 3 defining musical elements for this style of music the original piece is in? (The 12 musical elements: Tempo, Dynamics, Melody, Rhythm/duration, Harmony, Texture, Timbre, Structure, Metre/pulse, Pitch, Articulation, Instrumentation)

The answer to this question is where you show you have listened carefully to the original song, and hopefully, more pieces of music by different artists within this genre also.

3 defining musical elements for this style of music are melody, texture, and tempo which are very important as focusing on the duration of each note is a defining part of the song, and the change of notes while singing even one word is quite important as well as showing a pattern of notes. The melody is quite distinctive as we can see in Indian music that it moves across an entire scale quite quickly and notes go from one scale to another. Tempo is also usually quite fast and remains that way for most of the song. The texture is quite interesting as it makes use of some traditional instruments that add some unusual texture to the music.

During the song making process

To which genre and style does your cover belong? Why have you chosen this style?

The genre that I am choosing is R and B. I have chosen this style because it looks very interesting to me and is similar enough to the genre of my original song that I could make this in the time available.

​What might be a challenge for you? What do you hope to learn from this project?

This might be a challenge because looking at a genre across two different languages means there might be more differences than I think there are. Incorporating instruments part of the original song that are not capable of being part of the cover will be difficult.

​What are 3 defining musical elements for this style of music your cover is in? (The 12 musical elements: Tempo, Dynamics, Melody, Rhythm/duration, Harmony, Texture, Timbre, Structure, Metre/pulse, Pitch, Articulation, Instrumentation) The answer to this question is where you show you have listened carefully to music within this chosen style.

3 defining music elements that are part of this song, include the instrumentation, where previously it was driven by guitars it is now driven by the use of keyboards, drums and synthesisers. Another key element is rhythm where they use very syncopated 8 beat rhythms similar to rock and roll. The last key element is the dynamics which have to be quite loud.

What impact do you want to have on your audience? What are 2 musical decisions you are making that will have this intended impact?

I want my song to have an energetic vibe and give sort of motivation to whoever is listening. I will make sure that it has fast tempo and quite repetitive rhythms and pitches having very similar notes throughout the song.

Compare your end product to another song in your new chosen genre/style. What are 2 musical elements that they have in common?

The energy of the music is quite similar with upbeat tempo and consistent rhythm and pitches.

Finish the sentence in a PEA structure: “I have grown as an artist throughout this process because…”

I have now understood the process it takes to record a song and change it as well as how many times it takes for someone to be able to record vocals. My vocals were recorded multiple times and required effort to understand how to problem solve and understand how to take a complex song with multiple layers and turn into a more simple song with more emphasis on piano and vocals. Thinking also about how to learn the chords of the song as it was quite difficult to find and instead looking at singing and then trying to find chords instead is a new experience for me. Trying over and over again helped me understand how important it is to keep going and be resilient with pieces of work in music and understand how time and effort always pays off in this way. Using synths for the first time was also an experience where it was helpful to understand how trying out and going with the flow is also a vital part of music.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I finished making the song by adding the synths and messing around with the volume of the synth increasing and decreasing it to add to the song as well as changing some of piano parts as well.

# data[].attributes.body
In this Unit, we will be looking at making expressive music by taking or creating music and then changing the feel of the song or emotions felt during the song. We will be creating at least 5 pieces and make it from at least 2 different pieces of music with at least 1 performance. This unit will be focused on me using vocals to display different emotions in different songs.

Today I worked on changing the parts of akhiyaan to be more expressive and move towards the emotion I want. At the start I wanted to make it happy but then eventually decided to change it more mournful and sad for the choices that have been made. To make the song more mournful, I slow down the beat of the song and also ensure that I bring the notes to a lower pitch as well as lengthen the amount of time spent on the notes. The articulation of the notes is especially something to note.

February 16 - Analysis of Junoon and practice

# data[].attributes.body
Junoon was made by Mitraz and was released in 2022 as a single. This was part of the genre of Indian Indie.

This song is an emotional and heartfelt experience where you get to feel how much the singer is affected by losing his girlfriend. Junoon is a song where the singer feels like he is regretting a lost love and he is seen to be in mourning over those times which he could have spent with them and instead wasted.

Junoon starts with the techno backing track with a quick intro into the more somber tone, with the first line into a recalling of part of the first line. The singing involves high amounts of smooth articulation with one leading to another throughout the song. Later in the song the articulation changes to be more staccato as suddenly the artist is attempting to show more sadness and regret through their singing. The timbre of the vocals in the first part would be described as pure and strained and the timbre in the second part would be described and thin and strained.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my recording of the original Junoon where I do not make any edits and first get used to the feel of the song.

Here is the recording of my practice with the background music matching it with the beat and ensuring that I am able to maintain the emotion of the song while also making sure I make it sound nice enough.

Mon 6 Mar and Thur 9 Mar - Finishing Other Akhiyaan Recordings

# data[].attributes.body
These two lessons I finished making the other two recordings for Akhiyaan by changing the same one minute clip and turning it into a more soft and pure song with less expression and then a more angry version with more spite in the song. I feel as in the soft version I could have focused less on including the expression in the song which takes away from the soft and more neutral expression. I did make my voice sound more low and pure though as I did not stumble on my notes at all. For the angry version I feel as if I could have taken away some of the more sad expression involved but I did make a good way of including spite in the song.

This is the link to the music video that I have with analysis on Akhiyaan for the sorrow and regretful version and soft version.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a recording of a part of Junoon where I up the tempo and beat as well as reduce the number of low notes in order to make a more upbeat and happy version of the song. I made use of louder dynamics which give off that more happy vibe and make it sound like I am more excited while using a more rough timbre which shows in the excitement. I feel that I could have improved with ensuring that I showed more.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the version of the song where I embrace the emotions of sadness and slow down the tempo and reduce the dynamics of the song. I also make the timbre more rough and more inconsistent working with how people act when they feel sad. I feel like I could have improved at also thinking about the original rhythm of the song and incorporating it more into this version that I have used.

I think for the project I could potentially do something related to looking at combining my parents favourite songs together and creating a mashup of the two to help them enjoy their favourite style of music and would record it and live look at their reactions after listening to the music. This is an remix and will be something they would need as it would help sort of bring back their memories as recently my parents have been quite stressed and help them sort of relax and have some enjoyment. This will challenge me as being able to combine two songs and create a mashup could be quite difficult and will require a lot of thought.

# data[].attributes.body
My first song that I listened to was Saibo and this song was important to me as my mom used to sing this song to me all the time and is one of her most favourite songs. An important aspect of saibo is the change in dynamics throughout the song from going from solos to duos in the music making many changes.

The second song that I choose is Sa Re Ke Sa Re which is important as its the first song that I ever learned to sing from my classical indian music teacher and I still remember it to this day. The most important part of the song is the rhythm of the song which is very sincere and more happy like.

The third song that I choose is

I also decided how I would end the song as well by having it finally have both the tunes intersect. I plan on finishing the draft recording to submit it.

In this project I will be creating music for both of my parents to help show a bit of connectivity to them better, and will include a mashup which will include two of their favourite songs. The two songs being used are Chand Si Mehbooba and Saibo. I will be doing a live reaction on the weekend of June 3 with my sister recording and parents listening to the recorded version of the song. My audience's needs are that they need some happiness and need to be able to enjoy the song and have some enjoyment together. By having two of their favourite songs it would remind them of some happy memories and help them gain some happiness and enjoyment out of it. I chose my parents as my audience as they are important to me and it will help me connect with them more.

Wow, what an improvement to the opening phrase, Shaurya. Great breath, tuning and phrase control. I'm very impressed how well you implement feedback. You can hear the smile in your voice, too. Beautiful work particularly in the first 2 minutes.

Can you take another listen at around 2.40? It seems like your tuning and energy drops slightly and it contrasts to the bouncy, light and smiling feeling of the previous parts. Of course, it's another section with different expression but I wonder if it's possible to still make it sound as strong and confident as the previous parts?

The songs I am using are Chand Si Mehbooba and Saibo which are both Indian Film pop songs though one is from the 1965 movie Himalay Ki God Mein and Saibo is from the 2010 Movie Shor in the City. Chand Si Mehbooba is sung by Mukesh while Saibo is sung by Sachin-Jigar, Shreya Ghoshal and Tochi Raina. Both of these songs are from India. The key features of the style is understanding the breath control and the texture of the song in the voice.

Mom further feedback:
Should have changed the pitch at which I was singing Saibo, should have allowed for more time whenever tracks changed before singing. Sounds awkward when it starts in the beginning. Still was quite good but just could have reached further.
Dad further feedback:
It was a very good try at attempting to sing the two songs and was quite fun.
