Decade Evaluation 2
The decade project was a little bit challenging for me in terms of analysing and describing the technique use but artists in the 90s.
Overall
When I first started the decade project I didn't know a thing about Erykah Badu or the Beatles and the way they present there work. before the decade project I never thought that most of hip hop was inspired by Erykah Badu or that Stevie wonder's simple chords is used in almost ever song today.
from the decade project I learned different ways of making music and also how big artistes back then made they music. I've also learnt in the project about key signatures, time signatures and how to read music more effectively in my theory classes. In most other my mistakes,mostly in my theory classes, I learn from them by doing the opposite from them and continue from there.In my work I mostly still struggle with learning the theory work. for example, I have trouble knowing about key signature and how they work. I'm happy with a few of my work and the rest I don't. reason for this is cause of time and lack of inspiration from the artistes shown.
Technical Skills
In the decade project I learnt a lot of skills in my both theory and my chosen classes. I've learnt different way of presenting my work and different way to make my music. For example I've learnt how to read music on a score sheet more effectively. My skill I'm more proud of is my logic skill when I was doing my remix and song writing classes. The way my logic skill has develop over the course is by knowing all the techniques and different thing to use to enhance my musics. My composition skills has probably increased the most. My increase of knowledge with all the theory technique and how it all works in music.

Time management/working method
The problem I had last half term was having left time to finish off my works.This time round what I'm doing different is trying to finish my work in one classes them the next classes I'll work on something else or edit it a bit. I completed all my work on time but some was more finish then others. On the course I usually spend more time on one work then the rest for it to sound close to perfect. I didn't really use access time the much for my work i usual just finish it in class. With most of my work I am happy with but I could of then better with them all.
Research
My research method is still the same as last terms only different is that I in this term I know most of the music and we have the freedom to choose how to research about. In the half term I didn't really listen to the artistes given to which is the reason why I kind of struggled with my work a bit. most of my work was influence by some of the key artistes and some from some of the artistes from today. From them I've learnt that most of today hip hop was inspired by Erykah Badu and that most of the chords used up today was inspired by Stevie wonders.
Group work
I think that putting our decade project was successful.Our target of audience was the people who listen to music of Soundcloud for free and downloadable so I strongly think we reached our audience. I the future we could also preform our songs in a gig as well not on online. My perfect idea of a present my songs to my class is straight from logic so u can describe what you did.Tuesday, 12 January 2016
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

My DJ review
With my DJ skills I need to time my song so there ain't no silent space in between the songs. I also need to have more song to avoid from playing the same one again. I need to learn to use the cross fade more better then how I used it when I was DJing. I used the low pass filter well if I keep practising in can master it same with all the rest.

Christmas gig
The Christmas gig full of joy and laughter as the level 2 and level 3 music preformed there song in the big rehearsal room.
First up was the level 2 and there first song was last Christmas. It stated with piano which was play amazingly. then came the vocals for the song which got the audience impressed making them scream and clap on what they just heard. the lights was in a mellow color to go with the song and give the feeling to the audience too.
Next song they preformed was hallelujah. a rocky start at the end but they came thought and the end. the instruments was only drums and vocals. not much to say by they sang well together. the lighting was set up the same way as last Christmas too.
I don't know if this was there last or third song but it was called don't want trouble and it was an original and was one of of my favorite song preformed by them. the light went wild while with the drums. the instrumentality was set great the bass and keys fitted right in with the lyrics and the drum.
moving onto level 3 Oscar comes on the stage giving a hand clap and introducing them and getting ready for them to preform.
most song i don't remember but i remember i feel good. a song with to drummer in it looked a bit weird but at the end they both had a drum out and it was amazing to see that for the first time got the crowd screaming. the vocals was great too a long side the piano and the lights was crazy with the drummers flashing everywhere.
tear drop was repeated twice but with different people but both was great i think it was the same drummer on the pads with different sample of the song. the light was in a not so wild set up but was calm which fitted with the song nicely
on and on was soo great it was sang amazingly again the drummer was great. the song in the middle go changed with an original track made by Oscar which was amazing didn't see that coming at all.
in conclusion with the level two there was not serious in one of the song they called it off mid way and was stopping for no reason but with the level 3 there was so confident and ready
