Funding Application

Funding Proposal

For my proposal, I would like to work on making an album and releasing it to the public to the highest quality.My name is Jesse Mateus and my skills as an independent artist are piano playing, audience singing beat making and rapping. My aim is to create an album to not only give my fans something to enjoy but also to increase my fans too. for this to work I will need the funding for recording and mastering my work.
With my music, it would reach to people who understand hip hop and rap music. The reason I target theme for my audience is so that my audience know what I'm trying to say in a way that they know and enjoy. To go about getting the audiences is by promoting myself on social media through my friends and family and through artists that have a similar audience.

so far in my plan, I have finished 5 songs and working on 3 others and looking for someone that can master my tracks. For my album, I will first finish of the 3 songs I am working on then get a mastering expert to finish mixing and editing it. while that is happening I will book venues to promote my work by performing songs I've made in the past and 2 songs from the album so my audience gets a little taster of whats going to be in the album. My past experience was when I put on a gig at a venue performing some of my songs I made to get the audience I have today. I promoted myself on social media with help of my family and friends.

In regards to the funding, I have made an analysis on how much this plan would cost to complete. for the mastering, it would cost no more than £300 or less. for booking a venue for the gig would be £200 or more. The things that might effect my plan is if the mastering expert takes long to finish it or doesn't work on it at all. another problem is if I don't finish the tracks in time for them to get mastered. I am expecting to get the funding after I finish the songs for my album that why I don't worry about the cost for the venue and mastering expert.

while in the middle of making my plan, I will be keeping a journal of things that has gone well or thing that hasn't and had to be scraped or edited. At the end of my plan, I am hoping that it will be a success and help me to create more albums that help to bring even more audience and also help me to think of different ways I can go with my music.

My four studio demo

For this track, I used a sample for the main part of the beat and worked around it added things in. At the start of the track, I bounced the first 8 bars the used touch mode to record the low pass filter and the added a little bit of distortion to it to give it a gritty sound.



For this song, I wrote the chords and use a summing stack full of string giving the track a brighter sounding to it a bit. for the verse and chorus. I use two different drum pattern. for the verse. I used a for slower and less energetic drum pattern and as for the chorus, more energy in for it.

This track was an experiment with the ES2 synth and making 808 this does not have the "boomy-ness" 808's is meant to have but, it served as a great source of bass. the melody was inspired by a song called Rambo by Bryson Tiller. on most of the tracks in the beat, I used the sample delay so they will bounce back and forth from left to right. I used a lost of reverse tracks after bouncing tracks for the build ups.



Nothing much inspired me to make this beat it just came together and I was just throwing in ideas that might work together. There's a bounced track with low pass filter played with touch mode.
