This is a style of music first composed by Steve Reich. This piece does not require any instruments, just 2 humans. If I were to improve it, I would attempt it at a slower speed because even the person playing the motif got confused. ]]> 2018-08-21 07:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/274239414 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/275473847 This is my version of "In C', which is a very random piece all based on the musicians feelings. The musicians go onto the next "phrase" once they feel like it. They start and end whenever they want. ]]> 2018-08-27 08:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/275473847 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/276537775 This was my composition idea about phasing music. It basically means that I write a motif, repeat it several times and start the same motif at different times. ]]> 2018-08-30 11:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/276537775 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/277938257 In this composition, I explored texture by adding and taking out instruments to change the texture. Just open the file if you want to listen to it. ]]> 2018-09-05 12:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/277938257 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/281908767 In this composition, I explored drones and arpeggios. I did this by have one note that is sustained throughout the whole piece and played around with arpeggios. The melody is pretty much the same all the time except a few small changes to it. ]]> 2018-09-16 11:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/281908767 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/283375093 For my 6th composition idea, I decided to create another clapping music composition as I found it pretty hard to actually play it so I played it by myself using garage band. ]]> 2018-09-19 12:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/283375093 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/283375716 Here is the audio file if you want to listen to it.]]> 2018-09-19 12:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/283375716 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/298364486 I finished my composition but when I listened to it, it didn't sound very minimalist although it did compose of the features from that time period. I started writing a new composition with inspirations from Tubular bells by Mike Oldfield. ]]> 2018-10-30 06:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/298364486 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/303583429 Ms Waite gave me some feedback about how I can improve on my composition to get a better grade than I currently achieve. I plan to add more measures because I think it is a bit short. Ms Waite also told me that I should explore my B section a bit more. ]]> 2018-11-13 06:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/303583429 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/304665146 I tried to change the tonality a bit in some parts and I expanded it after getting feedback from Ms Waite. I also improved it with one of my classmates feedback. ]]> 2018-11-15 07:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/304665146 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/336701176 This was my 1st attempt at the piece. It was all sight reading and is long as I was trying to find the chords since they don't sound very nice I keep on thinking its wrong. ]]> 2019-03-01 01:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/336701176 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/336702038 This is after I have had a week to practice the piece. The improvements have been very obvious because I have successfully found the chords and are getting use to the big jumps between different chords. ]]> 2019-03-01 01:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/336702038 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/336702905 I did not practice at all for a week so I went backwards a bit but I am slowly recovering.

I then decided to use trial 2 as it sounds more exciting whereas the use of pedal makes the notes sound more blurry. ]]> 2019-03-28 11:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/346076675 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/346078468 I tried adding a bit of pedal where is says sf on the second page to make it more dramatic. ]]> 2019-03-28 11:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/346078468 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/346079198 This was very similar to trial 3 but instead of using pedal in sf, I used it a bit for ties to see if it will help make the transitions smoother. ]]> 2019-03-28 11:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/346079198 366422 https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/346079268 A lot of pedal has been used to emphasize the difference between legato and staccato.]]> 2019-03-28 11:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/366422/2jf1j8udt1mt/wish/346079268
