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.

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:-

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.

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.

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.
No.

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.

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.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.
No.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.Hnce,I am doing well.I practice a lot from time to time.
http://ollysellwood.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/band-workshop-funky-junk-run-through-gig.html
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.
No.

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 Horns move from pure playing towards the increasing involvement of technology began when he wrote and produced four tracks for Dollar.

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.
