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 Soulfoultrigger 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.

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.
Another problem which I overcame while practicing for the Easter gig was that I was confused about the amps while connecting,but I could deal with it by taking a a picture of where it was connected and also another thing was that I was holding all the equipment using technology, when I was returning it to Grant. I dropped the equipment while opening the door to go out of the room after the lesson.So,by mistake it fell down and then I realised that next time I will ask my band members to open the door and beware of my surroundings which are near us always.
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.

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.

This is the picture of the paper of the equipment which should look like on stage.
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.

These are the notes as to how I am playing the original song with my band in the above link.This shows which notes I am playing.
In this following picture,It shows how a minibrute keyboard should be set when connected in order to be able to play.
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 Voice transformer is used as a new equipment for our band for the vocalists as to in what way they want to sing and the Minibrute keyboard is like an original keyboard and piano but very small as compared to the original keyboard.For the Original Song,Kessana and Marco and Hasna who is also the pianist are the singers,Junior is the Drummer,Reece is playing the guitar and I am playing the bass sound on the Minibrute Keyboard.The singers are using the voice transformer for their voice.In the Cover,We are performing a song named pink matter ft 3000 Andre and I am the pianist,Reece is the Guitarist,Junior is the drummer,Kessana and Marco are the singers,Hasna is playing the original,bass and we aren't using the Minibrute keyboard.How we connect the equipment is that we plug it into the extension chord and we tune it as what we like them to sound as we rehearse or perform.There other wires to be connected for listening to outputs and because of those wires,The voices of the band can come out clearly,Especially the Minibrute keyboard and voice transformer.We will be having a practice gig where we will perform for our teacher and class mates next Tuesday during band workshops on 31st January and 14th March we will perform for the final assessment which is the Easter gig.We usually connect the equipments in between other instruments on the stage.Hence,this is a new way of performing with a new equipment.
In the picture below is a paper shown of how the stage where and when we will be performing will look like with the connection of the new equipment

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.
Explain how you have been using technology in your own practice, to what effect, and how you have been influenced by other artists.
We are using the Mini brute analog synthesiser and vocal transformer, it 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. When setting up the keyboard,it is very important to take a picture as to how it is set up because next time or next lesson,when you have to use it,you will need the picture of the settings and also how it is connected to hear inputs and outputs. In minibrute keyboards,you can make it sound like what it needs to like bass sounds,sounds of wind instruments etc. For example,I was using it to make it sound as if I am playing a bass. Even in a normal keyboard we can select the sounds which we want to play, but the minibrute keyboard is only different in size as compared to the normal one becausethe minibrute analog synth is smaller than the normal one. In a normal keyboard you have numbers to tune, but a minibrute analog synthesiser consists of mostly controls - this allows you to control the exact sound you make as opposed to preset keyboard sounds.

My equipment also includes extra wires to connect to the guitar and bass amps to listen to the Output when rehearsing our songs for the performance.These amps are used to listen to output and also make sure that the sounds are coming clear when we do sound check before the performance.These are very important and also working on the panel settings for sound effects and while connecting the equipment.
In our band we also use a Voice transformer which is used for singers for tuning the parts into vocoder etc for the voices to be reflected. Its used to make the vocals sound different while singing in the band and also using reverb and other effects.

Ampere is a main extension chords which are added to the equipment for outputs and the other sound effects and also it is a very small extension chord as compared to the plug points and the Guitar and bass amps for outputs. 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.
