• ^{New, unique, forward thinking, different}
• ^{Find new ways of doing things that have been done}
• ^{Thinking outside of the box}

^{How to be innovative in music:}

• ^{Changing technique}
• ^{Mixing genres}
• ^Technology
• ^{Using things but not for their intended purpose}
• ^{Using everyday sounds and changing to MIDI}
• ^{Collaboration with others outside my skill set}
• ^{Networking and researching}
• ^Mentoring
• ^{Experiment with recording techniques}

LUME - Days to come
- very relaxing, very ambient, only the vocoder for the majority of the song, emphasises the lyrical content,</sup> 

<sup>Phil Collins - In the air tonight
- emphasises and creates a build in particular parts of the song</sup>

<sup>Jack Garratt - Return them to the one
- comes in at the chorus to begin to create a build to the song

I then learnt how to use a vocoder on Logic Pro X as this is something that I have never tried before and then experimented with this. I recorded a rough vocal track of the first verse and chorus of Best Part by H.E.R and built parts on top of this.</sup>

I thought it could be cool if we can use this project to learn more about different elements of building a song from each other as a songwriter and a producer.

My individual skills are songwriting, composition, vocals, harmony and genre experimentation.
My individual influences in writing are my past experiences and emotion. I have taken a lot of inspiration from artists like Olivia Dean, Sam Smith and Billie Eilish.

Initial group choice of material:
Creative Cover - Latch by Disclosure (Ft. Sam Smith) - made jazzy
An original song (an indie rock song I wrote over the holidays, but we are going to really change this up)

Some areas of innovation that I think we will work on are experimenting with production techniques and possibly experimenting with mixing genres. Some more production based innovation could include using sampling for percussion sounds, experimenting with FX and playing around with microphones (types and placements).</sup>]]> 2023-01-25 14:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2456254905 caitlinmc1202 https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2458887305

^{Experimenting with mic placement (Inside other instruments)}

^{Creating sample packs (percussion - tapping/switching things)}

^{Using FX}

^{Recording via...?}

^{Experimenting with the way I am singing}

Love/Paranoia, The Less I Know The Better - Tame Impala
(Parker, 2016)
True - Spandau Ballet
Late Night Talking - Harry Styles
Tainted Love - Soft Cell
Bulletproof - La Roux
Does Your Mother Know - ABBA

What sounds are in use? What type of atmosphere does it create?
The Less I Know The Better - used more in the background to begin with, makes it feel quite spacey. Then there are some synth chime sound as the song goes on.

How would I use a synth in a song?
I would use a synth as more of a background sound most of the time to help to emphasise the atmosphere that I am trying to create in a song.

Use of Theramin:
The Ballad of John Henry - Joe Bonamassa
(Bonamassa, 2012)
BU2B - Rush
Smokestack Woman - Black Country Communion
Dr Who Theme - Murray Gold
Incence - Eryka Badu

Thoughts and Opinions:
Some songs use it as a ver subtle background noise, some as a unique intro and then others will use it as a replacement for a guitar solo.

How would I use it in my music?
It is not something that I think would fit with a lot of my music but I think the idea of using it as a replacement for a guitar solo in a song could be really cool.</sup>]]> 2023-02-01 10:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2464353007 caitlinmc1202 https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2464414549 ^{“Tame Impala - The Less I Know The Better - Later... with Jools Holland - BBC Two” (2016) Youtube [Preprint].

We decided on the synth sound for now as we felt it was quite a funky sound and laid down the chords. 
I decided that I wanted to keep the main guitar riff because I felt that it is a really catchy riff that will stick in peoples' heads. We moved onto building a bass part and then started laying out the structure.

Some reference tracks that we want to use are:
Listen Before I Go - Billie Eilish
Focus - H.E.R
Borderline - Tame Impala (Blood Orange Remix)

Some innovative production ideas we have come up with are:
Sample vocals and layer up with loads of reverb (intro)
We want to have a big sub bass drop in the song at some point, probably before last chorus
Have LOTS of delay and reverb on vocals throughout the whole song
The vocal sample in the original track to be made to be guitar instead
Spacey guitar riffs

When we have a recording day in Small Pond on the 24th February, George and I are going to bring a drummer in and experiment with sampling drums and play around with unusual mic techniques and placements. We might also try to experiment with tape delay in the studio.</sup>]]> 2023-02-03 11:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2467439246 caitlinmc1202 https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2471656992 <sup>What are the benefits of collaboration?
Can build off of each other's strengths.
You can teach each other about personal strengths.
All parties will have different ideas which you can merge together.

What experiences have I had with collaboration?
I enjoy collaborating with other people and bouncing ideas off of each other. However, I have worked with people who would not pull their own weight but claim they did all of the work and this was very difficult and very exhausting. However, although this is very draining to have to deal with, it has built my problem solving skills.

Iconic, unusual, famous collaborations in music?</sup>

• ^{Silk Sonic - Anderson Paak and Bruno Mars}
• ^{Old Town Road - Lil Nas X Billy Ray Cyrus}
• ^{Merry Christmas - Elton John and Ed Sheeran}
• ^{FourFiveSeconds - Rihanna, Kanye West, Paul McCartney}

Miley Cyrus rebranding after Hannah Montana
Lil Nas X's whole persona
Ozzy Osbourne eating a bat
1975, Matty Healy eating raw meat on stage
Sam Smith 'I'm not here to make friends' music video

What could I do to get the audience's attention?
I like the idea of being turning the camera onto the audience on stage during my own performance as more subtle shock value.

Potential dangers of implementing shock value?
People online are always looking for things to pick on and 'cancel' people for. So if you do something that would be considered as 'shock value', someone is always going to have an issue with it.</sup>]]> 2023-02-07 12:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2471676843 caitlinmc1202 https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2471690192 ^{“Tame Impala - Borderline (Blood Orange Remix / Official Audio)” (2020) Youtube [Preprint].

From here we added the bass riff. We wanted the bass riff to be something catchy using inspiration from Tame Impala.

Do you think that these visual aspects have a direct influence on the music being created?
I think it definitely does have an influence on the audience, especially when it comes to live performances. However, things like album covers or social media posts definitely emphasise the 'vibe' or 'aesthetic' that the artist is trying to put across.

Changed:
- Genre (From Dance/Electronic to R&B/Bedroom Pop)
- Arrangement (more layers of synths/instruments to more layers of vocals instead)
- Tempo (122bpm to 90bpm)
- Approach to production has changed massively due to the change of genre.

Same:
- The main melody (for the most part)
- The sample use of the word 'Nother'
- Structure

Evaluate (did this happen organically, planned)
- We planned for the song to change significantly, mainly due to the switch in genre. George and I love the track latch but we also love the remix of Borderline by Blood Orange so we thought that we could mix the two.

- Genre Crossovers
- Use of synths

90s - pop/dance-pop was widely listened to. However, grunge music started to grow a lot through this time too. Sampling was used a lot. ProTools and Logic became the most popular DAWs.
00s - indie rock grew as a new genre, alongside pop music being most listened to genre. Sci-fi sounds became popular to use, iTunes became main streaming service, napster started the growth of free streaming platforms.

^{XY Stereo}

^{Near Coincident Pairs, uses a 100 degree angle with the microphone heads positioned 6 inches apart. The slight separation mimics the space between our ears.}

• ^{AB Stereo}

^{Spaced Pair, uses two microphones positioned anywhere between 3 to 10 feet apart, both facing the same direction. The distance between them will create phase and amplitude differences in the inputs.}

• ^Blumlein

^{The Blumlein pair is built on a vertical-axis perpendicular to the sound source. In other words, the microphones would be stacked one above the other. Both microphones also need to be as close to each other as possible and their front-ends need to be positioned in a manner that creates a 90-degree angle.} 

^{This technique provides a direct centre image and a wide sense of space much like the human ear so, your listener will actually feel as if they were there in the room.}

• ^{Decca Tree}

^{The Decca Tree uses between three and five microphones that provides a well balanced stereo recording. It was invented in 1954. It is shaped like the letter T with microphones suspended from this at each end of the rods. It has been used a lot in recording orchestras for warmth and spacious sounding tracks.}

• ^{Double Tracking}

^{Double tracking is the act of recording a certain instrument two times, maybe more than this. You have to try and record each performance as close to the original track in phrasing and in pitch. This can then be used when mixing the track later on through panning or used to add depth or texture.}

Why was it created?
It was created so that microphones could be powered without using bulky external power supplies. This is also because microphones were getting smaller through the 1960s.

The mixer sends a voltage of 48V up the same wires that the audio is travelling down.</sup>]]> 2023-03-22 10:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2526918090 caitlinmc1202 https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2526925237 <sup>Beach Boys:
Each would record up to 14 tracks on songs (5 x 14 = 70 voices). They would also work off of one microphone as it was the best way to record BVs. It would mean that there would be a lot less work when rebalancing the tracks and trying to keep them balanced during mixing.

Beatles:
Norman Smith used two mics to record Ringo Starr's drums, an AKG D19c above the kit and an AK D20 in front of the bass drum. Used the Neumann KM microphones a lot during their recording sessions, especially for drums and guitars. Then used the U67 o the guitars which used to be used more for keys/piano/overdubs.

Steve Albini:
(Pixies - Where is my mind)
Drums - liked to use natural reverb - he would use up to 3 mics, mainly room mics in reverberated rooms.
Bass - many of his recordings having a very crunchy bass line because he uses this technique with his own band, 'Shellac' like in the song 'Ghosts'.</sup>]]> 2023-03-22 10:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2526925237 caitlinmc1202 https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2534829395 <sup>Initially, George and I wanted to have had this song started a long time ago but due to poor health (Mentally and physically), we have not had the opportunity.

Sam Phillips (Elvis Presley Producer) - created it because he did not like the natural reverb in his studio using two Ampex 350 tape recorders in 1954.

Reverb Plugins:
First digital reverb created was the EMT 250 in 1976 by Dr Barry Blesser to artificially recreate reverb and have more control over it, which then went on to lead people to recreate the reverb of specific places and venues.
(LiquidSonics, 2021)

We started with the the bass line which we used previous rehearsal videos to recreate what we play live. We then recorded the main guitar lines, and the main riff which we could then copy over to any other section in the track. From here, we played around with what extra layers we could do. To begin with we added a catchy little guitar riff that repeated in each verse which led into a ringing guitar sound through the pre chorus. 

In the second verse, we all agreed that we needed another layer/texture, so we added some claps. To do this, we picked five random single clap samples which we edited slightly differently so that it sounded like five different people. We then created three separate tracks for each clap, all slightly delayed to different times so it ultimately sounded like 15 separate people clapping. After recording this, we added some of these claps into the bridge.

In the live version of the song, the bridge is a massive breakdown that goes into half time for the first half of it. We decided that we needed to really emphasise this section through the production of it. We used a pedal to create a rising sustained guitar sound, added a tonne of shimmer reverb before reversing it to create a funky synth sound to go under the drums and the bass.

In the second half of the bridge we added another lead guitar moment with a lot of rhythmic delay which is playing a polymetre rhythm.</sup>]]> 2023-03-29 18:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2537149828 caitlinmc1202 https://padlet.com/caitlinmc1202/bm1whoa0sc0s7ie0/wish/2543523473 <sup>Will you continue to work towards a further project based on what I have experiences?
