Group presentation

What we had been doing so far in our songwriting sessions is we thought of a metaphoric
song,we named it "to the river running free don't mind me let em be". The topic is Life and as well as freedom and also why we did this is so that the performers can give an opinion about this song.The band consists of Hasna playing the guitar,Russa on the Bass ,Samarth which is me on the piano playing the obstinato which means a repeated phrase throughout most of the song,Marco and Kyrah as the vocalists meaning singers.I am playing the obstinato on the chorus and singing silently with the others.The producer is Kyrah/Hasna/Russa.We kept thinking of the words in a song and kept working it out.It was Ok,  meaning not too good or bad because we were out of beat and time,but we will improve on the main performance,We are trying very hard.The song is like the verse chorus verse chorus and verse.More like poem of rhyming words.Concept was clear in mind.Chords are E C and A.C major scales related stuff are in the song which we will be performing.Ostinato is the main element.The song talks about who we are and what we feel towards the river.Progress is Ok.Kyrah is the producer and Russa as well.I felt OK as we kept rehearsing during these songwriting sessions.We have also got one Music production student named Junior,he is doing beat basing on the stool using it as a drum beat for the song.If we do songwriting on our own meaning that if only one person does it alone and composes it,it requires a lot of work.It is fun and a good experience if we do it more with group members,therefore we are working and understanding each other and the teacher can help us and it is much more fun and we can understand what is going on.However,we must also try and apply our mind,therefore,I am getting an idea of my and my groups progress while we are doing work on the song during these practical sessions.Hence we can improve it a bit more.Director is Hasna/Kyrah and Marco.Mostly Kyrah,Hasna and Russa had been working on the lyrics and how to sing it.Marco was the singer.I was figuring out the chords by listening to the guitar and bass,then finally I tried matching the Ostinato.I played notes A and E.Creative negotiations were positively and diplomatically done.

Kyrah was the artistic director

Russa -Hasna-Samarth instrumentalists.

Marco and Kyrah vocalists

We were all producers as we all contributed with it.
In today's presentation on 5th December,Kyrah was absent means that she didn't come.So only Marco,!e,Hasna,Junior and Russa were there but it was still ok.We will do better on Friday.
We changed the key today and I had to change the Ostinato to match the chords of the song.
