1st Structure Idea

So I heard you found somebody else
And at first, I thought it was a lie
I took all my things that make sounds
The rest I can do without now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself, that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember don't want your body x6You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over don't want your body x6  But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to knowSo I heard you found somebody else
And at first, I thought it was a lie
I took all my things that make sounds
The rest I can do withoutNow and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to knowI don't want your body x6 ​​​​​​​ But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low (I don't want your body)
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (I don't want your body)
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to knowSo I heard you found somebody else

Final Structure IdeaSo I heard you found somebody else

Today's session was understanding and practising with the relevant technology for our studies, I was focusing on the Roland SPD SX

Planned aims for this session
4 specific targets

- Understanding the users manual
- Using effects and delay on the tech
- Incorporating the tech into my acoustic drums
- Use tech in one Marty song

Reason(s) For Undertaking The Activity

Describe why you undertook the activity, perhaps including a description of your role in it. Describe the event or activity that you took part in. If possible link to any published descriptions of it

The reason why I'm wanting to learn more about this tech is to develop my band's music, especially trying to incorporate new sounds and features for the tracks that we wish

This rehearsal didn't get that smoothly due to new tech being introduced to the band. For me, it was difficult to incorporate the Roland drum pad into the drum kit. Hopefully, in future rehearsals, I can adjust the positioning on the Roland pad to make it easier to play. Over time I'm hoping to find the right place to use the pad with my drum kit.

Impact Of The Activity
What impact is this activity likely to have on your learning or performance?

Knowing how to work with new people is challenging as we all work in different ways so understanding musicians and the way they compose music is important to work with our strengths and make something relevant for the brief.

How Useful Was This Event For My Personal/Professional Development

Choosing an appropriate value on the scale may help you compare the usefulness of different events over time

It was useful to understand patience and motivation. as composing music for a brief can be challenging especially when musicians have alternates throughs and feelings when composing to its important to take everyone perspective into account.

Overall Reflection/ Evaluation
Why is this activity important or relevant? How does it relate to your overall learning and development?

this was useful to help me towards my goal of practising and completing my drum performance.

Overall Reflection/ Evaluation
Why is this activity important or relevant? How does it relate to your overall learning and development?

This was a successful rehearsal, as I completed my goal for the session of practising my new drum patterns for our song WCS, this is the studio version which will sound more accurate to the studio version.

This session was a lot easier to perform with the stems compared to last week, We rehearsed our individual instrumentals separately before our rehearsal today. This meant The only problem this time was that for some reason we couldn’t get the Harmonies right in the middle 8 part of the song. No matter how hard we tried we just couldn’t do it, though we could do it when we just sang when Rhianne played the piano. This could be to do with some of the extra parts.

Did your band meet all the requirements

Yes
if no why?

Specify the achievements and improvements for every band member

Krista Ford -  incorporating the new drum patterns for the chorus of WCS.

Planned aims for this session
Today's session is based on finalising our song and showcasing that song to the class. Gaining peer feedback will help us adapt and improve our overall performance and composition skills.

'A production company is looking for tracks which have themes of killing, death, murder and obsession for an upcoming series. The tracks shouldn’t be metal or anything too heavy and they are open to more moody atmospheric tracks. The tracks can be dark or have a sassy humour to them'

​​​​​​​Lyrics
Verse 1
Wake from the dead, there’s a stranger in my head, watching close from far behind Sick of it all, where the strange creatures crawl, through the night and the dark in my mind.

Pre
Running in circles trying to escape from the power of you, you drag me down. In a state of confusion, my days are stuck in illusion, trying to see the truth

Chorus
Say a prayer for me, pull me towards the light.

Verse 2
Stuck in a maze trying to escape this daze, couldn’t find the life in your eyes. Nowhere to hide, I'm trapped by your side, trying hard to break these ties.

Pre
Running in circles trying to escape from the power of you, you drag me down. In a state of confusion, my days are stuck in illusion,
trying to see the truth --- (whisper) added an effect for the brief

Chorus
Say a prayer for me, pull me towards the light

Feedback
'They have great skill in the bass using chord octaves, great use of piano and vocal effects but the guitar needs turning up. Definitely a good use of collaboration as they are tight as a band, great ideas as well for chords, drums and use of bass line. A definite sign of a well-practised piece and use of time management'

'Very tight and well structured time that had good use of technical instrumentation and effects'

'Good use of drums, Pedalboard used with the bass'

'Good use of technology and effects used to fit the atmosphere of the song'

'Proficiency was great throughout and each individual demonstrated great instrument techniques. Collaboration seemed great and everyone worked well together. Time management seems great and everyone was on time. communication seemed great throughout and the use of dynamics was great'

Addressing Feedback
As there was a couple of people who were ill throughout the time we were composing/ performing the song, I feel like we managed to still create a good song for the brief. I'm pleased that my performance shined through the performance the feedback was very positive, the reoccurring response was that it had a "good structure", which was the top priority for me. as a drummer, I didn't want to be that obvious when we went into the chorus and I thought it was necessary to add phrasing and dramatic breakdowns to make it interesting. We had strong musicianship and collaboration. Throughout the process of composing this song, I was having a little trouble with incorporating the sample pad so I used the sound that was already programmed in the kit, I used various symbol sounds and at the drum fills It worked well for that song but in the future I do want to explore the various sounds and effects. Due to this, I intend to analyses the manuals and youtube tutorials to get better over the year.

Did your band meet all the requirements

Yes
Although Mae was ill Rhianne managed to take the lead role of the vocals and used the helicon to add an eerie effect on the vocals which worked well for the brief.

Krista Ford -  Incorporating both acoustic drums and tech in the brief. (adding a new drum pattern in the chorus)

Rhianne Mee -  Using her synth effects on her piano
Mae Monypenny -  Mae was ill
Ollie Carnell - using multiple bass effects on his pedal board
Aimée Stones -  using amp effects

experiment with the drum fills with different sound effects

Rehearsal evaluation

Did you band meet all the requirements

no

Krista Ford - I incorporated the tech into my equipment, but i just need to be more confident with using the equipment

Rhianne Mee - using different pedals to the piano could gig a more edgy and dark feel to the melody
Mae Monypenny - No loops were used however we could a nice vocal effect that suits the brief
Ollie Carnell - good use of reverb with the bass pedal, maybe incorporate other pedals to mix up the sound.

Overall I believe we worked well to produce a solid song for the brief that was given to us. We worked well without time management and overheard every musician thoughts and opinions, this helps us to achieve a beautiful arrangement. My personal feedback... I really like how well I got on with the Octapad. although I had a few problems with working around the tech as it was long and is used to having a full 5 peice drum kit.

Planned aims for this session
This session we were in our instrumental workshops, which means that we get to adapt our musicianship and live performance with technology and the techniques. We are focusing on drum pads and drum triggers, I liked the Roland Octapad to most and I'm hoping to incorporate this technology to my band Marty.

Planned aims for this session
Over the last couple of months, we have been working with Jordan in his Studio to produce our own music which meant were given our stems to perform with. Over time we need to practice with the stems and are working on getting some tech to act as triggers for live purposes. Today's session was to understand how stems work and how we can incorporate them into our music.

band members

Krista Ford

Rhianne Mee
Aimée Stones

4 specific targets

Rehearsing with the new stems that we have made previously with Jordan

Listen to the stems and adapt our arrangements to the new sound

Work of the new drum fills

Change the rhythmic patterns to suit the new song

Rehearsal evaluation

did you band meet all the requirements

No

if no why?
Even though we had a productive rehearsal I still didn't manage to change the drum fills and alternative drum patterns. Because I'm so used to performing the same/ similar drum patterns it's hard for me to learn new techniques.

what does each band member need to work on for next week

Krista Ford - sort out the drum patterns for each section of the song

Rhianne Mee - Try to use different piano sounds to make it similar to the song.
Aimée Stones - Aim to strum in syncopation in the bridge
