We came up with quite an emotional, dark track with a number of build ups in it. We used build ups and crescendos as these musical features enable a band to convey emotion to the audience. 
Lyrics:
The lyrics were written with a theme of getting away

The stimulus was very ambiguous and mysterious as we may have some kinda of idea as to why this man has decided to follow this woman but we cant say for sure. We assumed this woman was trying to get away from the man.]]> 2017-10-21 16:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/louisclarkfitz/bnxdispl9w2u/wish/199281905 louisclarkfitz https://padlet.com/louisclarkfitz/bnxdispl9w2u/wish/199282116 2017-10-21 16:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/louisclarkfitz/bnxdispl9w2u/wish/199282116 louisclarkfitz https://padlet.com/louisclarkfitz/bnxdispl9w2u/wish/199282439 For this track , George and I tuned our bass/guitar down to drop D whereas emmie and jess were in standard guitar tuning

the darkness had eyes and spoke silence with a smile 
on and on we traced the map of our minds
threw it all away and left it behind. ]]> 2017-10-26 12:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/louisclarkfitz/bnxdispl9w2u/wish/200781297 louisclarkfitz https://padlet.com/louisclarkfitz/bnxdispl9w2u/wish/200783500 I think our use of build ups and the instrumentation gave a sense of an emotional song and helped build a melancholic sound. Although we lacked any drums or percussion, the instruments we had worked well together considering the nature of the song. 
I think we could have improved lyrically as we didn't really have that many lyrics, and its just something we could have expanded on. ]]> 2017-10-26 13:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/louisclarkfitz/bnxdispl9w2u/wish/200783500 louisclarkfitz https://padlet.com/louisclarkfitz/bnxdispl9w2u/wish/200788559 Some positive feedback we received was that our use of dynamics and build ups fit the stimulus very well , especially when the lyrics came in 
another positive was the bass helped build a good rhythm that the guitars could then sit on top of. 
 
an area for improvement from the class was maybe to introduce more minor chords if we were making an emotional, melancholic song. ]]> 2017-10-26 13:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/louisclarkfitz/bnxdispl9w2u/wish/200788559
