pussy riot

pussy riot protested by using a gorilla gig tactic on the in the Christ the savior cathedral. they protested about the law the premier sat out for the country like sexism, homophobic,etc.

we use there tactic because it seemed like the best way to grab the peoples attention. and we wanted to surprise them.

my performance

my role in the project

My role for the gig was coming up with the chord for the performance I came to the rehearsal and gave my thoughts. I came up with chords C major D major and E major. we decide to do our protest song on the poverty gap because we thought we can inform people to elect cheerfully. inspired by pussy riot we deiced to do a gorilla gig so we can surprise everyone with our performance.

Evaluation for my audition

For my audition I prepared myself by learning technique for music production on logic pro so that when I am interviewed I'll impress the interviewer.  because of that the person who interviewed me was really impressed and offered me a conditional place into level 3 music production. The conditional offer is to get a pass on my level 2 music performance course.

Evaluation

Our planning was great we met the deadline for the timescale and we was all happy about it. We was given enough time to come up with the planning.

 I planned on doing a song by J Cole called note to self but didn't do it cause no one but me was learning the song. 

I was also planning on doing an original song with a backing track. The track was to large so I had to use Wetransfer to send the track to grant for the performance. Sadly I couldn't do that song because one other band member didn't turn up so by myself I couldn't do it. 

My part in the planning was the special effect. There wasn't  really much I could work with so all I could come up with is smoke machine and firework. Fireworks we didn't have but we had lots a smoke. 

Next time I'm planning I would make sure everyone learns songs and not mess around and for me to research more on special effects. 

The performance was amazing had a wonderful audience they interacted with us which was a big plus. Musically we was kinda prepared. I say kinda cause we was still learning lyrics changing who sings what and bringing in song at the last moment which worked out thank goodness for that. 

My thoughts on the performance is it all work out really well at the end. The audience was really wonderful. My thoughts that didn't go so well was songs getting canceled because of one persons and having to change things for some songs because of him but again thank goodness it worked out in the end. 

I don't want to sound to vain or boastful but my individual performance was awesome. Really and truthfully I amazed myself  didn't think I would performance with such confident. 

The audience really was just amazing didn't think that they would respond when we was doing the interacting part in hey ya. 

If I was preforming again i would learn all the lyrics for I see fire by Ed Sheeran and not mumble the words pretending to know the lyrics.

my demo

thought out this year Ive been enhancing my production skills. Ive put all my work on Soundcloud so that not only I see my progress but other people I know too.

 

This was my first work i completed.





This is my latest work. Compared with my other work I'll say this one is better.

summer gig

for my role in the summer gig I was to come up with some special effect. I've came up with some ideas. I've came with smoke machine and fire coming out from the roof  for I see fire. My strength for the planning was my researching skills and being able to think outside the box

planning sheet


J Cole note to self
 with the J Cole song I planned on playing piano and singing as well. I wanted a drum solo in it towards the end.


With my other say no more I was gonna use a backing track and rap and sing the verse I wrote. I was going to have one other band member to rap and sing too.
