gig review 3

On Thursday the 12 of November  I want to watch a gig at kingsway college at 6 till 9 to watch the level 3 second years preform and a band called 'Vodou'.

Level 3 music second Yrs

The second Years  started the gig by welcoming engaging with the audience to give them there absolute attention. As there was getting thing ready to preform you could see the smoke in the air caused by the smoke machine giving the lights a 3D look. The seconds year started there first song with a great feel as the electric guitar stood out the most to me along side the drums and vocals. The vocals where in great harmony no clashes with each others which sounded right to my ears. the guitar thought out the gig caught my ears as the guitar player played thought song giving this nice warm feeling inside. In one of the song they used a backing track for there song and  there was a lot of feedback coming coming out of the speakers and the music technician couldn't figure out where it was coming from so he just cut the backing track  and everyone had to clap cause of it. I cant remember all the song there preformed but on song caught and the song was called 'Crazy'. such a good feeling out of that song every thing was just right the vocals drums piano I think synth was in there and bass guitar they all fitted perfectly with one another. After hearing that song i wanted to leave cause of how could it was. the lighting in every song was great different light colors were shown for different moods of the songs. And at the back of the whole thing a moving image of shapes or something like that was projected I don't know the purpose of it being there but it was good to look at. In conclusion the level 3 second years showed a lot of confident in there gig. they was they engaged with the audience, the way they stood when preforming showing they are not afraid to look at you in the eye nobody was looking at there floor or standing still there was all moving around even the drummer.

As there the concluded there side of the gig we had a 10 min to take in all of what they preformed.

After we was done with our 10 min we want back in the theater were it was held. The next gig we was going to see was a band call 'vodou'. By the name I know I wasn't going to like it. They were a three person band one works at the college as a singing teacher and the other two was out side the college a drummer and a electric guitar. they was a rock band and a very loud one. the light were flashing every where as they preformed there songs and at the back I could see some kind of film that i believe to be about poverty in other nations. purpose for that I don't really know maybe it was to do with what there was singing about i called hear the vocal cause it seemed more like she was shouting then singing. the band was all covered in face paint that you'll  in tribal place like Africa where there band name also comes from vodou. there was a lot of moment mostly the singer. In conclusion I didn't like there gig cause of how loud there was and because its not my type of music.

My Evaluation

My work with logic

My logic skills are great but needs work on a few areas like: mixing, audio, getting use to different tempos and time signature, etc. with logic I can come up with melody's and harmony's really quickly. when I was working on the songs I could pick up the chords and play them back then change them a little. with the tempo and key signatures I didn't change groove with all of them. with all the song I put a drummer in them to bring the songs to life. with the chords in some of the song was no harmonics so I added my own  and my own melody's.

Time management

my works for the projects were all completed on time without and problems. I spent most of my time on the On and on song by Erykah Badu because I like the song and the way it was composed(chords harmony etc.) son I spent my time coming up making different harmony and melody's. when it came to access time I didn't really use it much.    


Research
I wont lie I didn't listen to them I just used my ears most of the time apart from Bob Marley and Michael Jackson cause I've listen to them already.I don't think I use much influence from the but I did use some of the work but changed it a bit like there chords and harmony. I've learned how to arrange my work much more tidier and new chord to use too. Next time Ill listen to the the songs that are given out to listen.
