We were told that the use of harmony was really lovely and effective to the song and it was generally well written which was all thanks to Gina

# data[].attributes.body
Positives :)
>nice use of harmony
>well written and structured
>good use of dynamics

Negatives :(
> More variety of instruments

# data[].attributes.body
Gina chose this stimulus as she wrote a song during some heartbreak. It's about loving someone who doesn't love you back and how that feeling can really ruin you. It's very sad but a enjoyed recreating her original song with her.

# data[].attributes.body
Well the performance didn't go quite as planned however, it was still a decent performance however, I think someone commented on it needing more practise which I agree with. Over all the feedback was mainly positive.

# data[].attributes.body
Positives :)
> Nice melody
>catchy chorus
>nice variation of instruments

Negatives :(
>could have used more practise

So Tyler chose this stimulus because she wanted to write a song about something that effected people and society as a whole in everyday life but wasn't commonly noticed.

# data[].attributes.body
The class seemed to enjoy this song and commented on how much they liked it's simplicity and use of 3-part harmony.

# data[].attributes.body
Positives :)
>Nice use of dynamics
>Nice use of structure
>Good change in pace

Negatives :(
>Add more lyrics
>Extend it a little bit

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the performance went really well and successful as we didn't make any mistake and the class really enjoyed it.

We chose this stimulus because there was a clock on the wall and one of the band members, Emmie, missed her train that morning. The song is about wasting time and how we shouldn't do it. This was our inspiration to write a song about time

# data[].attributes.body
Positives :)
> Well written song
> nice transition from verse to chorus
>nice selection of instruments
> good use of vocal harmonies
Negatives :(
> some mistakes were made in the performance
> little stage presence

# data[].attributes.body
The performance didn't go as planned and I'm not entirely sure if our mistakes were extremely obvious but being the polite class they are, they said the performance was very good and wouldn't change anything about it.

# data[].attributes.body
The performance definitely could have gone better, we made a couple of mistakes and our stage presence wasn't there. However, I love this song and thought it was well written and the class still liked it because of that

# data[].attributes.body
I was originally very baffled by what I saw when watching this stimulus and was a little hesitant as I had no idea how to write a song related to this. However, the inspiration then came to me as I wrote a happy, catchy tune with my ukulele with a funky rhythm. I knew that using major chords creates a happy sound therefore that is what I did.

# data[].attributes.body
We got a very, very good response from the class after performing this song and were told that the use of instrument was really nice as we used a mixture of electric and acoustic instruments and it worked really well.

# data[].attributes.body
Positives :)
> nice balance of electric and acoustic instruments
> good transitions from chorus to verse
> good use of dynamics and structure with a solid ending
Improvements :(
> Lyrics maybe
> more of it

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like we successfully performed this with confidence in it too. It was a nice but short performance.

Understanding that the stimulus was about a young Syrian girl who lost her father (by bomb attack), the tone had to be melancholic. This is expressed through the lyrics (read above).

# data[].attributes.body
The class enjoyed the song and thought that the variation of instruments was really nice as we used ukulele, keyboard and bass. Someone else commented on my singing which was quite nice as it was my first time singing to everyone and I was very nervous.

# data[].attributes.body
Positives :)
> well structured

> singing could have been much better

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like the performance was okay, not too bad. There are definitely more cons than pro's in my opinion however, the class still seemed to enjoy it.

# data[].attributes.body
Originally, I was a bit confused by the storyboard. I was really questioning the meaning behind it, however, then came to the conclusion that the woman was being followed and she felt scared. I struggled to write a song about this but Tyler managed to link the fact that she was on her phone or social media and it made her cry. She used the "Red Lights" as a symbol of where you should stop with social media as it can have a very negative impact on someone's life.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the class enjoyed the song and performance. We were told that we used a good variation of instruments as I played my ukulele while Joe was on Cajon, Heather on bass, Ben on electric guitar and Tyler on vocals.

# data[].attributes.body
Positives :)
>Good solid structure to song
>Well built up with dynamics
>Linked well with the stimulus

Improvements :(
>More developed lyrics and melody
>Include drums
> More stage presence

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I feel like the genre of music worked well with the subject and tone of song. I believe that the performance went quite well as nothing went wrong and we managed to receive some good feedback too. It was a successful performance, however, one improvement that could have been made is our stage presence.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that this stimulus was really simple to base a song around or at least be influenced by (it being a percussive instrument and I am a drummer).

Verse
"I'm here calling out for you tonight baby.
Without you, I'm stuck in this cycle of constant agony.
I'm helpless and weaker than I could ever be,
I'm down on my knees and I'm praying I'm praying I'm praying for you.
Chorus
I'll lower Heaven and raise hell too,
I'd freeze them both over just to be with you
Baby, can't you see without you in my life, it's like I'm stuck in purgatory."

Initially, we decided to go for this stimulus due to the fact that it is currently autumn and we thought it would make a really nice song topic. We then decided to add the romantic element in there to balance out the cold autumn theme and warm romantic theme.

Rainbow Brite is perceived as happy and exciting with the use of colourful cartoon characters and setting. Therefore, we decided to write a song mainly including chords in the major scale. We didn't write lyrics as we liked it as an instrumental.

Verse:
"As the autumn leaves fall, I'm falling away with you.
As the flowers fell to sleep, my love for you grew.
As the wind whistles through the trees and showers us with leaves
As the autumn leaves fall, I'm falling away with you
You You...
Chorus:
Youuuuuuuuu X4
Verse:
As the autumn leaves fall, I'm falling away with you.
And I remember that look you gave me on that cold, firey night.
You wrapped a scarf around me and held me oh so tight.
So as the autumn leaves fall, I'm falling away with you.. You...You

Oooooh
He took my life away"

Positives :)
>Nice punky bass line
>Layered guitars
>Strong drum groove
>Well suited with stimulus

Improvements :(
>Needs a more solid structure
>Needs to be more melodic
>More confidence in performing abilities
>Improve use of dynamics to make it more interesting for the listener

# data[].attributes.body
We received some positive comments from the class members such as the bass line being well suited with the drum beat and the vocals were nice and strong as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite the slightly uncomfortable feel behind our performance, (it being our first time working together and still getting to know one another), I believe that the performance itself was alright. There were definitely areas to improve on. For example, a more developed structure, widened variety of notes to introduce a more developed melody, build on certain sections of the song in order to keep the listeners interested, (use of dynamics), and write more lyrics.

You don't see them you are blind
I don't know why you don't see those red lights, red lights.
You don't wanna stop so you just go on,
You should be going but you'll still go on.
Listen to those red lights,
Please just stop X2

As African percussion was the stimulus, we decided to make the drums a key feature with in the song. We achieved this by incorporating a 3/2 clavé in the drum pattern which shows elements of African music (again, referring back to this stimulus). I played the drums while Tyler sang, Ryder played bass,  Mitchel and Jess B played guitar.
