performance essay

Thought out every performance DJ and live artist they have shown and taught me different skills and technique.

The DJ i'm gonna talk is Skrillex. Skrillex is a producer and the songs he makes are dub-step and chooses to present his music at a concert or online. The equipment he uses are apple Mac Book Pro,
Native Instruments Traktor Software, Pioneer DJM-800 Mixer/MIDI Controller
and 4 CDJs and a Traktor Audio 2 DJ Interface.He use these equipment to make his songs and preform them at concerts. With Skrillex  he doesn't have a MC the mic when he preforms his songs like Andy C but he is very wild when he is preforming and the audience  go wild with him too. for example in one of his performance he stoop on the the table where is equipment was.



The artist i'm gonna talk about is J Cole. J Cole is a producer and is a hip hop songwriter. He choose to present his song also online and in concerts.but unlike Skrillex he use different equipment to make his music. The equipment he uses are Apple MacBook Pro, M Audio BX8 D2 Speakers, Yamaha NS-10M Studio Monitor, Neumann TLM 103 Condenser Microphone, headphones and logic x pro. when he is making music he uses alot of sampling mostly from parts of a song and turn it in to a melody. J Cole isn't as wild as Skrillex but he dose know the crowd go wild when he preform. when he on stage he more calm and engages with the audience more by cutting the song out and making them fill in the blank 

  




These two artist both have one skill I want. And that's the confidence  to engage with the audience whiter it be DJing or sing or rap on stage.

like Skrillex when I DJ I rather not have a MC on the mic to hype up my music ill let my music do that

when i'm preforming my songs and I've rapped or sang on them i want to include the audience in the song so just like J Cole did ill cut out a part of the song and make them fill it out
