Easter Gig Evaluation – 14th
March
Today's Easter
gig was fantastic ,I had been practicing and recaping my parts a lot in my free
time ,For pink matter which was a cover ,I listened to the song on YouTube and
played accordingly as how I did with my band members. I had also been
practicing with my band using technology and it was a new thing which I learnt
including the vocal transformer which is a type of music equipment as to how
the voice would like to sound and the Minibrute analog Synthesiser which is
like a keyboard but small in size as compared to an original one. I enjoyed
playing the bass sound on it and the normal keyboard and Piano. For the first
original ,I played the original big keyboard ,For pink matter cover I played
the piano and in the second original ,I played the Minibrute analog synthesiser. We named our first original Do
you know my name? and the second original ,we named it Need the kind of love. It
was an amazing event and the use of technology helped us very well to practice ,
rehearse and perform. This gig was better than the practice gig because, We
changed some of the parts in the original Need the kind of love and two other
songs. I looked around the theatre while performing and moving my head with the
beat but focused more on the keyboard and kept in eye contact with the band
members especially the guitarist and drummer. So, the band consists of
Reece(guitarist),Junior(Drummer),Hasna and Marco (Singers) And I played the
piano, Minibrute and normal keyboard. In the practice gig, We played Need the
kind of love only. Both the gigs were very good but the final one was the best.
I enjoyed practicing with the band and practicing individually. We had a good
sense of rhythm, Confidence and enthusiasm while performing. I also liked the
other bands as well and especially the song roll and smoke by Alyx, Russa ,Jansen,
Kenny and Shade and everyone's performances of this entire Easter gig. We named
our band Soulfoul trigger and we were
the last who performed for the gig.
Problems which I
overcame were that sometimes, when I had problem connecting the new equipment
to the output and tried to make sure that they were connected to the right
places. Finally I managed to do that and also I had been playing out of time
when rehearsing but kept practicing and made this a better performance with the
band members. I always communicated with my band members as to what I needed to
do and we all prepared to perform well in the Easter gig.

This link gives you the band In which I was performing. My mother took
the video but it is not for the entire gig and the entire band performance. It
was still very good.

And this one gives you the videos of the performances which we did for our practice gig. These all consist of how I had been working from the beginning of the funky junk project band for the Easter gig.

Band workshop session today assessment 1 for Easter gig
Today,We had to perform one of our songs using the new equipment
especially the Minibrute analog synthesiser and vocal transformer.We performed
our original song today and it was neat the candil law,Something like that.I
could play the notes very well on the keyboard. Hence the performance
went very well,for our Easter gig,I will perform much more better with my band
including the cover which is a song called pink matter. Hence, I am doing well.
I practice a lot from time to time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cITl8wVQ568
This is the run through gig which we had yesterday as part of the 1st
assessment for the Easter gig which we have time till March 14th.
Feedback from the funky junk run through
For my feedback,It was a good performance which we did for the practice
gig,but Olly told me that While I am performing,I should not look at one place
continuously,I should be looking around and all of us should enjoy more as to
what we are doing. Of course,I was enjoying as I moved with the beat and
playing the bass synth sound on the Minibrute analog synthesiser.But we all
will keep working in the band workshop and Songwriting sessions to make it a
good Easter gig.
Channel EQ for a music producer
We use channel EQ for working on the sounds of the instruments and Audio
vocal voices which we put in our track/Logic projects. We use it to determine
the sounds meaning Amplitude which is determined by the loudness and softness
of a Sound. The maximum displacement of the storage of Instruments which are
there is known as amplitude. What happens is that if we work on the volumes and
panning, It works on how the sound is going to work, Whether we will be able to
hear from 1 ear or two ears. The numbers which are shown for panning and volume
and if it is red, meaning something is very loud and we need to make sure that
vocals should be clear to hear. Vocals sound much more clear with the drums, piano
percussion and other instruments which are played from time to time.
About my rehearsal Diary
For my rehearsal Diary, I have been showing what I had been doing in my
band workshop, song writing sessions and instrumentation technique lessons. It
consists of:-
·
Bass notes of my Original song with the band on the Minibrute Keyboard
and about the equipment.
·
An Original song named ‘Need the kind of love’
·
About the vocal transformer:-
·
A Vocal transformer is a part of technology used in music performances
for the singers and also to test on how the voice should sound like.
·
Scales of C,G and F major with contrary motion
·
Original Song related to Breakfast which I did in my Peri lessons
·
Chords for Pink matter originally while practicing myself
·
Little bit of Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
·
Making of my own music with the black keys on the piano
·
K'naan- Wavin flag
·
One direction-Drag me down.
These are in my previous posts and the areas of weaknesses which show
only are only about the figuring of the scales when I play fast. In the songs
One direction Drag me down and Wavin flag by K'naan,I messed up a little bit
but will improve in the performance on Wednesday 1st of March.
Whatever I had been doing in my peri lessons,I had uploaded into my blog
and why I did for my Band workshop and Songwriting sessions is because I wanted
to show How I am playing the Piano/Minibrute Keyboard with my band and How I
individually do my practice. For the Original Song which was related to
breakfast,I had first recorded it on my phone and then made a video of it later
on, I played it on the piano and sang along with it.
.
Drag me down by one direction is the
one I did on my own. I had just been doing basic stuff in my peri lessons.
Which I spoke about below.I did something of my own and was thinking of
performing this song for the Solo set.
https://youtu.be/10kqe2CfQNU
Wavin Flag – K’naan
This was also the one I did on my own
and thinking for performing this song as well for the solo set.
I had been creating a track by
choosing some instruments of my choice and putting in my track with Chord trigger Arppegiator
Logic Midi FX and Audio FX to create a piece of track related to music.
I put drummer by choosing drums from
the Library. I had been using some of the panels for increasing and decreasing
the structures of my track. I will continue over the next lessons to keep doing
this stuff in logic for this task. I was increasing the Bus sounds. I used
output in my track. When I was playing the piano on logic ,meaning when I chose
that for my one of the instrument which I was going to create my new track in, I
was using the arppegiator ,Chord trigger and normal sound and increasing and
decreasing the volume .I was basically, making my own music with many
instruments with the help of the Logic Audio and Midi FX's. Hence it is very
interesting. I had also been using the modulator as well. I had been selecting
anything I wanted from the groups.
Rehearsal diary 2,About the peri
lessons
In today's peri lesson we wrote a
song and practiced playing on the piano and singing it.The chord progression is
C F and G.The name/element of the song is breakfast.It all went good,I could
just sing and play the piano in whichever we I wanted to do.Bill liked it a lot
and we also played a song which we had also been practicing in the previous
lessons called Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence.That also went good.The song is
written like this.
https://youtu.be/qrGINFHXw4s
I was playing a little bit of tunes
of Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.As the above link shows.
Verse:-
Scrambled eggs tasty
Bread is boring some days
Bacon boring
Omelet Yummy.
Everyday waking up and
Seeing breakfast on the
table.
Eggs and bread.
Chorus:-
Love what's being
served
Eating on time.
Organising nicely for
the rest of the day.
Verse:-
Trusting parents of
What is good for our health,must
not always keep eating Junk food and
eat mostly healthy food.
Chorus:-
Always eat breakfast
no matter what happens
or if you don't have time
get food packed.
https://youtu.be/pAa_NG6611A
This YouTube link gives you the
recording which I did in my peri lessons.I have actually recorded it on my
phone and took a video of it.
However,What
ever we are learning in the peri lessons,Gives me the basic idea as to how to
work better in songwriting and band workshop sessions in the college.But,when
finally if I get split up into another band,There is always different ways of
doing our rehearsals and not the same thing as we do in our peri lessons.This
kept happening from the beginning of time when we started these peri lessons as
it helps us a lot with our skills.

Listening analysis/ of music
performance or production in the last 5 years
In general,the musical features
approach is found in many different schools and locations,both nationally and
internationally and so there is evidence that it basic principles are
replicable and also adaptable.At Morpeth ,the programme is not genre specific
and works across all age phrases,as well as with technology.Harrogate regards
the approach as good music teaching and has first-hand evidence of the positive
impact of the approach,including the encouragement of teachers to act as
musicians with their pupils," Music teachers shouldn't be afraid to sing
or play for students".Steyning reports that the approaches with older
pupils are replicable in other settings,suggesting that,in more challenging
schools,it could be simpler to set the different types of vocational and
academic qualifications as separate options.

In these sessions on a Monday and
Tuesday,we will be doing original songs and covers.So for these sessions it is
basically a band practice on these two days.A mini brute keyboard is a very
small keyboard and you can tune sounds like the voice transformer.In min brute
keyboards you can use wave sounds and other songs for sound check.

kept happening from the beginning of time when we started these peri lessons as
it helps us a lot with our skills. In this
song the drum sounds are from a drum machine.The song is not so fast and not so
slow,The beat of the song is normal and in the middle of being fast and slow.My
MP1 track is very slow and as I increase the beats per minute number,It goes
fast like a remix version of a song.The actual song of my MP 1 track has 60
beats per minute.Time signature is 4/4 as usual.In logic we have many
instruments like Drum machine,`Drum kit and many other instruments as we click
on as want we want to use for our track.When I work on my track,I will make
sure that the drum does not last for a longer period of time than the original
track,When I worked on m track in my previous lesson,I looked for many
instruments which are in logic.I chose drum kit sounds,synths,Latin kit for
trying out what works best for me.So, like that this is how I work it out.In
the guide track,the song Meguel Adorn,also consists of the Synth sounds.It also
consist of the water sound when the song is being played.The lyrics of the song
basically talks about a song of Love.The song is Romantic and Metaphoric.I
would also like to ad more similar instruments to my MP1 track and try and make
it sound less complicated.I stretched and chopped the instruments in my
track,And I will stretch some more instruments as I keep adding them to my
track.Adorn uses sub bass sounds.

Rehearsal diary today,About the
Songwriting session today
Today what happened today was that we
used a Vocal transformer for practice for band workshops and songwriting
sessions.It was interesting,cool and funny because of the noises we make and
when we are singing.This was a new and an amazing experience.In our practice
time,Marco,Kassana and I were trying various types of sounds such as vocoder
etc.This is a new experience especially for singing.I tried playing the piano
along with that but it doesn't sound good at all with instruments because of
the Bad noise.We will be using and practicing in every Songwriting sass ions
and Band workshop sessions.I enjoyed it a lot and we were told by Chloe that we
will use it in our Easter gig in March.We made funny noises and singing,I also
played the foot pedal drum,Piano and keyboard without the transformer.This is
for the Funky junk Project for this term.I watched the video about a guy
explaining as to how the vocal transformer works.I agreed with him as he was
using many sounds like us in the class today.

The first link is a video and is
explained very well about the transformer.The second link is a diagram and
shapeof the transformer.Things which are written.The voice transformer consists
of Lead,Bass,Mega phone,Radio,Scatter,Direct,Auto perches 1 and 2
,Vocoder and Synth.We tried all of them in the class in our individual band
groups.An ampere is a red coloured extension chord to connect the microphones.

This is the run through gig which we
had yesterday as part of the 1st assessment for the Easter gig which we have
time till March 14th. Band no 1.
"Adorn" features on-beat sub-bass sounds,[4] falsetto howls,[5] irregular vocal echoes, obscured synths,[6] and sparse keyboard arrangements.[7] The lyrics feature brazen declarations of
affection,[5] including promises of adoration to a female
subject.[8] Writers liken "Adorn" to Marvin Gaye's 1982 ballad "Sexual Healing".[5][6][7] Miguel was inspired to write the song by a
series of dreams he had prior to writing it.[9] His girlfriend, model and artist Nazanin
Mandi, was also an inspiration behind the song. Miguel later told Peoplemagazine: "I had been on a long trip and was
anxious to see her. That's where the song began, with that emotion while I was
on the plane. I don't remember how I got from 'These lips can't wait to taste
your skin' to the end of the song, but when I listened to it, I thought, 'This
is special.'"[10]
I will not need to make many tracks as I will not
be adding maximum instrument,I will add as much as I want as I keep working.
Music producer work
9
What I will do to
make it better is I will try and not stretch the phrases for a longer period of
time and do it if necessary. I can try and add more instruments to the
audio/vocals as to make a reverberations if necessary and try to find some
shape in the phrases.I will even try to increase the bpm to make it enjoyable
because if it still remains in 60 beats per minute then what happens is that it
sounds very emotional and if you increase the bpm it sounds more like rock and
pop music and not so emotional,It does sound emotional when the phrases are
stretched,and enjoyable with drums,guitar,bass and piano.So,However,the idea is
to keep working on it and not wasting the time which has been given to me,So I
will try some way or the other,How to make it better and should be within the
time limit and should not be out of time s to whatever I do.

Equipment which I use for my
band.Voice transformer which is used for singers for tuning the parts into
vocoder a etc for the voices to be reflected.
Minibrute keyboard which is used for
playing instruments like bass etc.It is smaller and slightly different to the
normal keyboard and piano.In Minibrute keyboards we can tune to wave sounds as
well.
Ampere is a main extension chords
which are added to the equipment.
Along with the equipment,There are
other wires which are connected to the speakers so that it can be loud enough
while playing and performing on stage.

Music Producer work 1
A music producer is the one who takes
charge of the recording,makes sure that the beat is within time,makes sure that
the song which he/she is written makes sense or not,He/she holds the artistic
control.These are the different roles which music producers do.They basically
make up their own track of songs whichever they want.
Trevor Horn(music producer):-
Trevor Charles,Horn,CBE (born 15 July
1949) is an English music record producer,songwriter,musician and singer. His
influence on 1980s popular music that he has been called "the Man Who
Invented the Eighties".
Horn has produced commercially
successful songs and albums for numerous British and international artists.
From Band Aid to Bob Marley,SARM West
has seen some action over the years. One of the most prestigious Studios in the
UK, on the cold October dayWhen Horn visit it's even more normal.
He got the Grammy award for producing
" Kiss from a Rose" by Seal. As a musician, he has had chart success
with the bands The Buggles, Yes and Art of Noise.
Another Day,Another Dollar:-
Trevor Horns move from pure playing
towards the increasing involvement of technology began when he wrote and
produced four tracks for Dollar.
The Dollar stuff was the stuff he
really produced,after being in Yes in 1982, and by that time I had a rig.

Music producer work
2
I was listening to one of the music production tracks, Mp1. It consists
of classic Electric Piano Sounds, Pre Chorus Audio and the two main verses of
the song. I am planning to create this track by adding more instruments when I
feel it is necessary. The track is very slow, 60 bpm. So, I had shifted the
instruments to the other side and checking for new sounds which sound
good with the vocal. I have an idea to select instruments and cutting and
chopping them up within time . I will be working on the tempo by increasing it
because I think it will suite my idea. Maybe for right now I will keep the time
signature as it is. I think that I should avoid using wind instruments or I can
use them a little bit from time to time this is because I want to keep some space
in the mix for the vocal and other instruments. The song is very emotional but
it is very nice and peiceful and it is good to listen to such songs like
this.Some people will feel like crying as they listen to the vocal in the
track.In the Song,Meguel by Adorn,the tempo is neither too fast or too slow.It
is just normal and it is a beautiful song.This is the grand track which I am
talking about.For working on my original track.If I increase my track to 100
bum from 60bpm,it goes very fast.It is cool.
The production/performance planning includes everything for this project
which I did. There is more to this task in my previous posts within my blog as
to what ever tasks I am doing like technology in Context, Music producer, Logic
demo etc.

Easter Gig Evaluation – 14th
March
Today's Easter
gig was fantastic ,I had been practicing and recaping my parts a lot in my free
time ,For pink matter which was a cover ,I listened to the song on YouTube and
played accordingly as how I did with my band members. I had also been
practicing with my band using technology and it was a new thing which I learnt
including the vocal transformer which is a type of music equipment as to how
the voice would like to sound and the Minibrute analog Synthesiser which is
like a keyboard but small in size as compared to an original one. I enjoyed
playing the bass sound on it and the normal keyboard and Piano. For the first
original ,I played the original big keyboard ,For pink matter cover I played
the piano and in the second original ,I played the Minibrute analog synthesiser. We named our first original Do
you know my name? and the second original ,we named it Need the kind of love. It
was an amazing event and the use of technology helped us very well to practice ,
rehearse and perform. This gig was better than the practice gig because, We
changed some of the parts in the original Need the kind of love and two other
songs. I looked around the theatre while performing and moving my head with the
beat but focused more on the keyboard and kept in eye contact with the band
members especially the guitarist and drummer. So, the band consists of
Reece(guitarist),Junior(Drummer),Hasna and Marco (Singers) And I played the
piano, Minibrute and normal keyboard. In the practice gig, We played Need the
kind of love only. Both the gigs were very good but the final one was the best.
I enjoyed practicing with the band and practicing individually. We had a good
sense of rhythm, Confidence and enthusiasm while performing. I also liked the
other bands as well and especially the song roll and smoke by Alyx, Russa ,Jansen,
Kenny and Shade and everyone's performances of this entire Easter gig. We named
our band Soulfoul trigger and we were
the last who performed for the gig.
Problems which I
overcame were that sometimes, when I had problem connecting the new equipment
to the output and tried to make sure that they were connected to the right
places. Finally I managed to do that and also I had been playing out of time
when rehearsing but kept practicing and made this a better performance with the
band members. I always communicated with my band members as to what I needed to
do and we all prepared to perform well in the Easter gig.

was still very good.

Band workshop session today assessment 1 for Easter gig
Today,We had to perform one of our songs using the new equipment
especially the Minibrute analog synthesiser and vocal transformer.We performed
our original song today and it was neat the candil law,Something like that.I
could play the notes very well on the keyboard. Hence the performance
went very well,for our Easter gig,I will perform much more better with my band
including the cover which is a song called pink matter. Hence, I am doing well.
I practice a lot from time to time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cITl8wVQ568
This is the run through gig which we had yesterday as part of the 1st
assessment for the Easter gig which we have time till March 14th.
Feedback from the funky junk run through
For my feedback,It was a good performance which we did for the practice
gig,but Olly told me that While I am performing,I should not look at one place
continuously,I should be looking around and all of us should enjoy more as to
what we are doing. Of course,I was enjoying as I moved with the beat and
playing the bass synth sound on the Minibrute analog synthesiser.But we all
will keep working in the band workshop and Songwriting sessions to make it a
good Easter gig.
Channel EQ for a music producer
We use channel EQ for working on the sounds of the instruments and Audio
vocal voices which we put in our track/Logic projects. We use it to determine
the sounds meaning Amplitude which is determined by the loudness and softness
of a Sound. The maximum displacement of the storage of Instruments which are
there is known as amplitude. What happens is that if we work on the volumes and
panning, It works on how the sound is going to work, Whether we will be able to
hear from 1 ear or two ears. The numbers which are shown for panning and volume
and if it is red, meaning something is very loud and we need to make sure that
vocals should be clear to hear. Vocals sound much more clear with the drums, piano
percussion and other instruments which are played from time to time.
About my rehearsal Diary
For my rehearsal Diary, I have been showing what I had been doing in my
band workshop, song writing sessions and instrumentation technique lessons. It
consists of:-
·
Bass notes of my Original song with the band on the Minibrute Keyboard
and about the equipment.
·
An Original song named ‘Need the kind of love’
·
About the vocal transformer:-
·
A Vocal transformer is a part of technology used in music performances
for the singers and also to test on how the voice should sound like.
·
Scales of C,G and F major with contrary motion
·
Original Song related to Breakfast which I did in my Peri lessons
·
Chords for Pink matter originally while practicing myself
·
Little bit of Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
·
Making of my own music with the black keys on the piano
·
K'naan- Wavin flag
·
One direction-Drag me down.
These are in my previous posts and the areas of weaknesses which show
only are only about the figuring of the scales when I play fast. In the songs
One direction Drag me down and Wavin flag by K'naan,I messed up a little bit
but will improve in the performance on Wednesday 1st of March.
Whatever I had been doing in my peri lessons,I had uploaded into my blog
and why I did for my Band workshop and Songwriting sessions is because I wanted
to show How I am playing the Piano/Minibrute Keyboard with my band and How I
individually do my practice. For the Original Song which was related to
breakfast,I had first recorded it on my phone and then made a video of it later
on, I played it on the piano and sang along with it.
.
Drag me down by one direction is the
one I did on my own. I had just been doing basic stuff in my peri lessons.
Which I spoke about below.I did something of my own and was thinking of
performing this song for the Solo set.
https://youtu.be/10kqe2CfQNU
Wavin Flag – K’naan
This was also the one I did on my own
and thinking for performing this song as well for the solo set.
I had been creating a track by
choosing some instruments of my choice and putting in my track with Chord trigger Arppegiator
Logic Midi FX and Audio FX to create a piece of track related to music.
I put drummer by choosing drums from
the Library. I had been using some of the panels for increasing and decreasing
the structures of my track. I will continue over the next lessons to keep doing
this stuff in logic for this task. I was increasing the Bus sounds. I used
output in my track. When I was playing the piano on logic ,meaning when I chose
that for my one of the instrument which I was going to create my new track in, I
was using the arppegiator ,Chord trigger and normal sound and increasing and
decreasing the volume .I was basically, making my own music with many
instruments with the help of the Logic Audio and Midi FX's. Hence it is very
interesting. I had also been using the modulator as well. I had been selecting
anything I wanted from the groups.
Rehearsal diary 2,About the peri
lessons
In today's peri lesson we wrote a
song and practiced playing on the piano and singing it.The chord progression is
C F and G.The name/element of the song is breakfast.It all went good,I could
just sing and play the piano in whichever we I wanted to do.Bill liked it a lot
and we also played a song which we had also been practicing in the previous
lessons called Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence.That also went good.The song is
written like this.
https://youtu.be/qrGINFHXw4s
I was playing a little bit of tunes
of Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.As the above link shows.
Verse:-
Scrambled eggs tasty
Bread is boring some days
Bacon boring
Omelet Yummy.
Everyday waking up and
Seeing breakfast on the
table.
Eggs and bread.
Chorus:-
Love what's being
served

Verse:-

not always keep eating Junk food and
eat mostly healthy food.
Chorus:-

no matter what happens
or if you don't have time
get food packed.

recording which I did in my peri lessons.I have actually recorded it on my
phone and took a video of it.
However,What
ever we are learning in the peri lessons,Gives me the basic idea as to how to
work better in songwriting and band workshop sessions in the college.But,when
finally if I get split up into another band,There is always different ways of
doing our rehearsals and not the same thing as we do in our peri lessons.This
kept happening from the beginning of time when we started these peri lessons as
it helps us a lot with our skills.

Listening analysis/ of music
performance or production in the last 5 years
In general,the musical features
approach is found in many different schools and locations,both nationally and
internationally and so there is evidence that it basic principles are
replicable and also adaptable.At Morpeth ,the programme is not genre specific
and works across all age phrases,as well as with technology.Harrogate regards
the approach as good music teaching and has first-hand evidence of the positive
impact of the approach,including the encouragement of teachers to act as
musicians with their pupils," Music teachers shouldn't be afraid to sing
or play for students".Steyning reports that the approaches with older
pupils are replicable in other settings,suggesting that,in more challenging
schools,it could be simpler to set the different types of vocational and
academic qualifications as separate options.

kept happening from the beginning of time when we started these peri lessons as
it helps us a lot with our skills. In this
song the drum sounds are from a drum machine.The song is not so fast and not so
slow,The beat of the song is normal and in the middle of being fast and slow.My
MP1 track is very slow and as I increase the beats per minute number,It goes
fast like a remix version of a song.The actual song of my MP 1 track has 60
beats per minute.Time signature is 4/4 as usual.In logic we have many
instruments like Drum machine,`Drum kit and many other instruments as we click
on as want we want to use for our track.When I work on my track,I will make
sure that the drum does not last for a longer period of time than the original
track,When I worked on m track in my previous lesson,I looked for many
instruments which are in logic.I chose drum kit sounds,synths,Latin kit for
trying out what works best for me.So, like that this is how I work it out.In
the guide track,the song Meguel Adorn,also consists of the Synth sounds.It also
consist of the water sound when the song is being played.The lyrics of the song
basically talks about a song of Love.The song is Romantic and Metaphoric.I
would also like to ad more similar instruments to my MP1 track and try and make
it sound less complicated.I stretched and chopped the instruments in my
track,And I will stretch some more instruments as I keep adding them to my
track.Adorn uses sub bass sounds.

Rehearsal diary today,About the
Songwriting session today
Today what happened today was that we
used a Vocal transformer for practice for band workshops and songwriting
sessions.It was interesting,cool and funny because of the noises we make and
when we are singing.This was a new and an amazing experience.In our practice
time,Marco,Kassana and I were trying various types of sounds such as vocoder
etc.This is a new experience especially for singing.I tried playing the piano
along with that but it doesn't sound good at all with instruments because of
the Bad noise.We will be using and practicing in every Songwriting sass ions
and Band workshop sessions.I enjoyed it a lot and we were told by Chloe that we
will use it in our Easter gig in March.We made funny noises and singing,I also
played the foot pedal drum,Piano and keyboard without the transformer.This is
for the Funky junk Project for this term.I watched the video about a guy
explaining as to how the vocal transformer works.I agreed with him as he was
using many sounds like us in the class today.

The first link is a video and is
explained very well about the transformer.The second link is a diagram and
shapeof the transformer.Things which are written.The voice transformer consists
of Lead,Bass,Mega phone,Radio,Scatter,Direct,Auto perches 1 and 2
,Vocoder and Synth.We tried all of them in the class in our individual band
groups.An ampere is a red coloured extension chord to connect the microphones.

This is the run through gig which we
had yesterday as part of the 1st assessment for the Easter gig which we have
time till March 14th. Band no 1.
"Adorn" features on-beat sub-bass sounds,[4] falsetto howls,[5] irregular vocal echoes, obscured synths,[6] and sparse keyboard arrangements.[7] The lyrics feature brazen declarations of
affection,[5] including promises of adoration to a female
subject.[8] Writers liken "Adorn" to Marvin Gaye's 1982 ballad "Sexual Healing".[5][6][7] Miguel was inspired to write the song by a
series of dreams he had prior to writing it.[9] His girlfriend, model and artist Nazanin
Mandi, was also an inspiration behind the song. Miguel later told Peoplemagazine: "I had been on a long trip and was
anxious to see her. That's where the song began, with that emotion while I was
on the plane. I don't remember how I got from 'These lips can't wait to taste
your skin' to the end of the song, but when I listened to it, I thought, 'This
is special.'"[10]
I will not need to make many tracks as I will not
be adding maximum instrument,I will add as much as I want as I keep working.
Music producer work
9
What I will do to
make it better is I will try and not stretch the phrases for a longer period of
time and do it if necessary. I can try and add more instruments to the
audio/vocals as to make a reverberations if necessary and try to find some
shape in the phrases.I will even try to increase the bpm to make it enjoyable
because if it still remains in 60 beats per minute then what happens is that it
sounds very emotional and if you increase the bpm it sounds more like rock and
pop music and not so emotional,It does sound emotional when the phrases are
stretched,and enjoyable with drums,guitar,bass and piano.So,However,the idea is
to keep working on it and not wasting the time which has been given to me,So I
will try some way or the other,How to make it better and should be within the
time limit and should not be out of time s to whatever I do.

Music Producer work 1
A music producer is the one who takes
charge of the recording,makes sure that the beat is within time,makes sure that
the song which he/she is written makes sense or not,He/she holds the artistic
control.These are the different roles which music producers do.They basically
make up their own track of songs whichever they want.
Trevor Horn(music producer):-
Trevor Charles,Horn,CBE (born 15 July
1949) is an English music record producer,songwriter,musician and singer. His
influence on 1980s popular music that he has been called "the Man Who
Invented the Eighties".
Horn has produced commercially
successful songs and albums for numerous British and international artists.
From Band Aid to Bob Marley,SARM West
has seen some action over the years. One of the most prestigious Studios in the
UK, on the cold October dayWhen Horn visit it's even more normal.
He got the Grammy award for producing
" Kiss from a Rose" by Seal. As a musician, he has had chart success
with the bands The Buggles, Yes and Art of Noise.
Another Day,Another Dollar:-
Trevor Horns move from pure playing
towards the increasing involvement of technology began when he wrote and
produced four tracks for Dollar.
The Dollar stuff was the stuff he
really produced,after being in Yes in 1982, and by that time I had a rig.

Music producer work
2
I was listening to one of the music production tracks, Mp1. It consists
of classic Electric Piano Sounds, Pre Chorus Audio and the two main verses of
the song. I am planning to create this track by adding more instruments when I
feel it is necessary. The track is very slow, 60 bpm. So, I had shifted the
instruments to the other side and checking for new sounds which sound
good with the vocal. I have an idea to select instruments and cutting and
chopping them up within time . I will be working on the tempo by increasing it
because I think it will suite my idea. Maybe for right now I will keep the time
signature as it is. I think that I should avoid using wind instruments or I can
use them a little bit from time to time this is because I want to keep some space
in the mix for the vocal and other instruments. The song is very emotional but
it is very nice and peiceful and it is good to listen to such songs like
this.Some people will feel like crying as they listen to the vocal in the
track.In the Song,Meguel by Adorn,the tempo is neither too fast or too slow.It
is just normal and it is a beautiful song.This is the grand track which I am
talking about.For working on my original track.If I increase my track to 100
bum from 60bpm,it goes very fast.It is cool.
The production/performance planning includes everything for this project
which I did. There is more to this task in my previous posts within my blog as
to what ever tasks I am doing like technology in Context, Music producer, Logic
demo etc.

Easter Gig Evaluation – 14th
March
Today's Easter
gig was fantastic ,I had been practicing and recaping my parts a lot in my free
time ,For pink matter which was a cover ,I listened to the song on YouTube and
played accordingly as how I did with my band members. I had also been
practicing with my band using technology and it was a new thing which I learnt
including the vocal transformer which is a type of music equipment as to how
the voice would like to sound and the Minibrute analog Synthesiser which is
like a keyboard but small in size as compared to an original one. I enjoyed
playing the bass sound on it and the normal keyboard and Piano. For the first
original ,I played the original big keyboard ,For pink matter cover I played
the piano and in the second original ,I played the Minibrute analog synthesiser. We named our first original Do
you know my name? and the second original ,we named it Need the kind of love. It
was an amazing event and the use of technology helped us very well to practice ,
rehearse and perform. This gig was better than the practice gig because, We
changed some of the parts in the original Need the kind of love and two other
songs. I looked around the theatre while performing and moving my head with the
beat but focused more on the keyboard and kept in eye contact with the band
members especially the guitarist and drummer. So, the band consists of
Reece(guitarist),Junior(Drummer),Hasna and Marco (Singers) And I played the
piano, Minibrute and normal keyboard. In the practice gig, We played Need the
kind of love only. Both the gigs were very good but the final one was the best.
I enjoyed practicing with the band and practicing individually. We had a good
sense of rhythm, Confidence and enthusiasm while performing. I also liked the
other bands as well and especially the song roll and smoke by Alyx, Russa ,Jansen,
Kenny and Shade and everyone's performances of this entire Easter gig. We named
our band Soulfoul trigger and we were
the last who performed for the gig.
Problems which I
overcame were that sometimes, when I had problem connecting the new equipment
to the output and tried to make sure that they were connected to the right
places. Finally I managed to do that and also I had been playing out of time
when rehearsing but kept practicing and made this a better performance with the
band members. I always communicated with my band members as to what I needed to
do and we all prepared to perform well in the Easter gig.

our original song today and it was neat the candil law,Something like that.I
could play the notes very well on the keyboard. Hence the performance
went very well,for our Easter gig,I will perform much more better with my band
including the cover which is a song called pink matter. Hence, I am doing well.
I practice a lot from time to time.

This is the run through gig which we had yesterday as part of the 1st
assessment for the Easter gig which we have time till March 14th.
Feedback from the funky junk run through
For my feedback,It was a good performance which we did for the practice
gig,but Olly told me that While I am performing,I should not look at one place
continuously,I should be looking around and all of us should enjoy more as to
what we are doing. Of course,I was enjoying as I moved with the beat and
playing the bass synth sound on the Minibrute analog synthesiser.But we all
will keep working in the band workshop and Songwriting sessions to make it a
good Easter gig.
Channel EQ for a music producer
We use channel EQ for working on the sounds of the instruments and Audio
vocal voices which we put in our track/Logic projects. We use it to determine
the sounds meaning Amplitude which is determined by the loudness and softness
of a Sound. The maximum displacement of the storage of Instruments which are
there is known as amplitude. What happens is that if we work on the volumes and
panning, It works on how the sound is going to work, Whether we will be able to
hear from 1 ear or two ears. The numbers which are shown for panning and volume
and if it is red, meaning something is very loud and we need to make sure that
vocals should be clear to hear. Vocals sound much more clear with the drums, piano
percussion and other instruments which are played from time to time.
About my rehearsal Diary
For my rehearsal Diary, I have been showing what I had been doing in my
band workshop, song writing sessions and instrumentation technique lessons. It
consists of:-
·
Bass notes of my Original song with the band on the Minibrute Keyboard
and about the equipment.
·
An Original song named ‘Need the kind of love’
·
About the vocal transformer:-
·
A Vocal transformer is a part of technology used in music performances
for the singers and also to test on how the voice should sound like.
·
Scales of C,G and F major with contrary motion
·
Original Song related to Breakfast which I did in my Peri lessons
·
Chords for Pink matter originally while practicing myself
·
Little bit of Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
·
Making of my own music with the black keys on the piano
·
K'naan- Wavin flag
·
One direction-Drag me down.
These are in my previous posts and the areas of weaknesses which show
only are only about the figuring of the scales when I play fast. In the songs
One direction Drag me down and Wavin flag by K'naan,I messed up a little bit
but will improve in the performance on Wednesday 1st of March.
Whatever I had been doing in my peri lessons,I had uploaded into my blog
and why I did for my Band workshop and Songwriting sessions is because I wanted
to show How I am playing the Piano/Minibrute Keyboard with my band and How I
individually do my practice. For the Original Song which was related to
breakfast,I had first recorded it on my phone and then made a video of it later
on, I played it on the piano and sang along with it.
.
Drag me down by one direction is the
one I did on my own. I had just been doing basic stuff in my peri lessons.
Which I spoke about below.I did something of my own and was thinking of
performing this song for the Solo set.
https://youtu.be/10kqe2CfQNU
Wavin Flag – K’naan
This was also the one I did on my own
and thinking for performing this song as well for the solo set.
I had been creating a track by
choosing some instruments of my choice and putting in my track with Chord trigger Arppegiator
Logic Midi FX and Audio FX to create a piece of track related to music.
I put drummer by choosing drums from
the Library. I had been using some of the panels for increasing and decreasing
the structures of my track. I will continue over the next lessons to keep doing
this stuff in logic for this task. I was increasing the Bus sounds. I used
output in my track. When I was playing the piano on logic ,meaning when I chose
that for my one of the instrument which I was going to create my new track in, I
was using the arppegiator ,Chord trigger and normal sound and increasing and
decreasing the volume .I was basically, making my own music with many
instruments with the help of the Logic Audio and Midi FX's. Hence it is very
interesting. I had also been using the modulator as well. I had been selecting
anything I wanted from the groups.
Rehearsal diary 2,About the peri
lessons
In today's peri lesson we wrote a
song and practiced playing on the piano and singing it.The chord progression is
C F and G.The name/element of the song is breakfast.It all went good,I could
just sing and play the piano in whichever we I wanted to do.Bill liked it a lot
and we also played a song which we had also been practicing in the previous
lessons called Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence.That also went good.The song is
written like this.
https://youtu.be/qrGINFHXw4s
I was playing a little bit of tunes
of Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.As the above link shows.
Verse:-
Scrambled eggs tasty
Bread is boring some days
Bacon boring
Omelet Yummy.
Everyday waking up and
Seeing breakfast on the
table.
Eggs and bread.
Chorus:-
Love what's being
served
Eating on time.
Organising nicely for
the rest of the day.
Verse:-
Trusting parents of
What is good for our health,must
not always keep eating Junk food and
eat mostly healthy food.
Chorus:-
Always eat breakfast
no matter what happens
or if you don't have time
get food packed.

This YouTube link gives you the
recording which I did in my peri lessons.I have actually recorded it on my
phone and took a video of it.
However,What
ever we are learning in the peri lessons,Gives me the basic idea as to how to
work better in songwriting and band workshop sessions in the college.But,when
finally if I get split up into another band,There is always different ways of
doing our rehearsals and not the same thing as we do in our peri lessons.This
kept happening from the beginning of time when we started these peri lessons as
it helps us a lot with our skills.

Listening analysis/ of music
performance or production in the last 5 years
In general,the musical features
approach is found in many different schools and locations,both nationally and
internationally and so there is evidence that it basic principles are
replicable and also adaptable.At Morpeth ,the programme is not genre specific
and works across all age phrases,as well as with technology.Harrogate regards
the approach as good music teaching and has first-hand evidence of the positive
impact of the approach,including the encouragement of teachers to act as
musicians with their pupils," Music teachers shouldn't be afraid to sing
or play for students".Steyning reports that the approaches with older
pupils are replicable in other settings,suggesting that,in more challenging
schools,it could be simpler to set the different types of vocational and
academic qualifications as separate options.

song the drum sounds are from a drum machine.The song is not so fast and not so
slow,The beat of the song is normal and in the middle of being fast and slow.My
MP1 track is very slow and as I increase the beats per minute number,It goes
fast like a remix version of a song.The actual song of my MP 1 track has 60
beats per minute.Time signature is 4/4 as usual.In logic we have many
instruments like Drum machine,`Drum kit and many other instruments as we click
on as want we want to use for our track.When I work on my track,I will make
sure that the drum does not last for a longer period of time than the original
track,When I worked on m track in my previous lesson,I looked for many
instruments which are in logic.I chose drum kit sounds,synths,Latin kit for
trying out what works best for me.So, like that this is how I work it out.In
the guide track,the song Meguel Adorn,also consists of the Synth sounds.It also
consist of the water sound when the song is being played.The lyrics of the song
basically talks about a song of Love.The song is Romantic and Metaphoric.I
would also like to ad more similar instruments to my MP1 track and try and make
it sound less complicated.I stretched and chopped the instruments in my
track,And I will stretch some more instruments as I keep adding them to my
track.Adorn uses sub bass sounds.

Rehearsal diary today,About the
Songwriting session today
Today what happened today was that we
used a Vocal transformer for practice for band workshops and songwriting
sessions.It was interesting,cool and funny because of the noises we make and
when we are singing.This was a new and an amazing experience.In our practice
time,Marco,Kassana and I were trying various types of sounds such as vocoder
etc.This is a new experience especially for singing.I tried playing the piano
along with that but it doesn't sound good at all with instruments because of
the Bad noise.We will be using and practicing in every Songwriting sass ions
and Band workshop sessions.I enjoyed it a lot and we were told by Chloe that we
will use it in our Easter gig in March.We made funny noises and singing,I also
played the foot pedal drum,Piano and keyboard without the transformer.This is
for the Funky junk Project for this term.I watched the video about a guy
explaining as to how the vocal transformer works.I agreed with him as he was
using many sounds like us in the class today.

The first link is a video and is
explained very well about the transformer.The second link is a diagram and
shapeof the transformer.Things which are written.The voice transformer consists
of Lead,Bass,Mega phone,Radio,Scatter,Direct,Auto perches 1 and 2
,Vocoder and Synth.We tried all of them in the class in our individual band
groups.An ampere is a red coloured extension chord to connect the microphones.

This is the run through gig which we
had yesterday as part of the 1st assessment for the Easter gig which we have
time till March 14th. Band no 1.
"Adorn" features on-beat sub-bass sounds,[4] falsetto howls,[5] irregular vocal echoes, obscured synths,[6] and sparse keyboard arrangements.[7] The lyrics feature brazen declarations of
affection,[5] including promises of adoration to a female
subject.[8] Writers liken "Adorn" to Marvin Gaye's 1982 ballad "Sexual Healing".[5][6][7] Miguel was inspired to write the song by a
series of dreams he had prior to writing it.[9] His girlfriend, model and artist Nazanin
Mandi, was also an inspiration behind the song. Miguel later told Peoplemagazine: "I had been on a long trip and was
anxious to see her. That's where the song began, with that emotion while I was
on the plane. I don't remember how I got from 'These lips can't wait to taste
your skin' to the end of the song, but when I listened to it, I thought, 'This
is special.'"[10]
I will not need to make many tracks as I will not
be adding maximum instrument,I will add as much as I want as I keep working.
Music producer work

What I will do to
make it better is I will try and not stretch the phrases for a longer period of
time and do it if necessary. I can try and add more instruments to the
audio/vocals as to make a reverberations if necessary and try to find some
shape in the phrases.I will even try to increase the bpm to make it enjoyable
because if it still remains in 60 beats per minute then what happens is that it
sounds very emotional and if you increase the bpm it sounds more like rock and
pop music and not so emotional,It does sound emotional when the phrases are
stretched,and enjoyable with drums,guitar,bass and piano.So,However,the idea is
to keep working on it and not wasting the time which has been given to me,So I
will try some way or the other,How to make it better and should be within the
time limit and should not be out of time s to whatever I do.

Equipment which I use for my
band.Voice transformer which is used for singers for tuning the parts into
vocoder a etc for the voices to be reflected.
Minibrute keyboard which is used for
playing instruments like bass etc.It is smaller and slightly different to the
normal keyboard and piano.In Minibrute keyboards we can tune to wave sounds as
well.
Ampere is a main extension chords
which are added to the equipment.
Along with the equipment,There are
other wires which are connected to the speakers so that it can be loud enough
while playing and performing on stage.

Music Producer work 1
A music producer is the one who takes
charge of the recording,makes sure that the beat is within time,makes sure that
the song which he/she is written makes sense or not,He/she holds the artistic
control.These are the different roles which music producers do.They basically
make up their own track of songs whichever they want.
Trevor Horn(music producer):-

Another Day,Another Dollar:-
Trevor Horns move from pure playing
towards the increasing involvement of technology began when he wrote and

Music producer work
2
I was listening to one of the music production tracks, Mp1. It consists
of classic Electric Piano Sounds, Pre Chorus Audio and the two main verses of
the song. I am planning to create this track by adding more instruments when I
feel it is necessary. The track is very slow, 60 bpm. So, I had shifted the
instruments to the other side and checking for new sounds which sound
good with the vocal. I have an idea to select instruments and cutting and
chopping them up within time . I will be working on the tempo by increasing it
because I think it will suite my idea. Maybe for right now I will keep the time
signature as it is. I think that I should avoid using wind instruments or I can
use them a little bit from time to time this is because I want to keep some space
in the mix for the vocal and other instruments. The song is very emotional but
it is very nice and peiceful and it is good to listen to such songs like
this.Some people will feel like crying as they listen to the vocal in the
track.In the Song,Meguel by Adorn,the tempo is neither too fast or too slow.It
is just normal and it is a beautiful song.This is the grand track which I am
talking about.For working on my original track.If I increase my track to 100
bum from 60bpm,it goes very fast.It is cool.
