My Proposal

Introduction

What I would like to do for my project is to make a couple songs and perform some of them. I also want to work with other people on my songs and do one cover at least. I would like to use backing tracks as well as a live band to perform my song and cover. I also want to learn and embed different chords in my music so it sounds interesting and complex to those who will be listening to my song

Context

As a composer, my work sounds a lot like game beats. what I would like to make hip-hop beat instead with samples and the type of music that making people remember my lyrics while bumping their hand or making some kind of gesture. For this to happen I need to look up on using plug-ins and how to use the sampler on logic x and also how to make my music loud but at the same time not clipping.

As a songwriter, I find it hard to write verses and come up with chords so I need to work on that. I also find it hard to come up with ideas on what to write about which always gets to me when writing lyrics which I would need some help on that by my classmate or teachers.

Researches 

I would be researching artist that write hip hop songs. this will help come up with idea on both my song writing and composing skills. I'm gonna also research old hip hop artist and how they make the song and come up with ideas from them I can put into my work. artist, I would look up on will be: Nas, J Cole, Kendrick Lamer and other people like them. I also research lyrics and chords hip hop artists use which contains: jazz voicing, cluster chords, etc. How I plan on using these is for the chords of my song that will hold up the whole song. Weekly I'll be sat on a computer learning and practicing these chords until they became second nature to me and hopefully be able to use them in my music.

This video is J Cole preforming crooked smile and this is a way I would like to preform my music with a live band also. I chose this video cause I was heavily inspired on how J Cole performs with his band. This is also my ideal way i would like to try and preform and for that to happen I need to gain much more confidence on stage to include it in my performance.

Timeline.

In 3-5 weeks I will be working on writing the music for my song and editing it. I'll also get a band to preform 2 covers and practice with them. In 6-8 weeks I will finish with my song and be writing lyrics for it and finishing my practicing the covers and both covers and originals to ready to preform.

my work songwriting

For both of my work i could only come wih lyrics for the course since writing lyrics is not my strongest part in songwriteing. i repeated the same words in both of the song to have the same style as j coles song crooked smile. in terms of intrumation most of the chorsed i used are use alot in a lot of artistes since 2010 till now which is where i got the ideas from.

playlist plan my plan

For this project it gotta be a better then the decade project we previously did. What I think the best way to present our playlist is to put it online so everyone can download it on to there devices. I also think it would be a good idea to present it live to an audience so it gives us a much wider audience and there would share it online.I believe the best way of reaching a bigger audience is to get one of us that knows a lot of people on social media to share it online telling them to also share it. our art work cant have the college's music logo we need to come up with other art works something that with catch peoples eyes. something with lots of colour and meaning about us. My research is big artistes that have release albums. Most of them have art work that is relative to the albums name or was they are talking about. As for the our audience My research is based on how we got our audience to listen to our decade playlist.

playlist plan/class meeting

My class and I came together and gave our ideas and thought on our last playlist.

Week 1
We had a few really good ideas the we can do to get more people listen to our music and some ideas the might not work(cats). what we came up was the we could do a lyrical intro and Outro.


Week 2
today we talked about what our art work is going be on, how are we going to present it and on what social media is it going to be put on. he picked sound-cloud and YouTube


Week 3
in our meeting we had a vote on what art work we are going have on our playlist, if we show have a logo on the picture in our playlist and if we should/shouldn't have a text as a group or individual. we also talked about when we should larch the playlist and we came up with emailing the students to listen and share the playlist

Our decade project playlist analysis.

Me and my class made and put up a playlist of one of our decade song on SoundCloud where they can listen to it for free and also download is onto there computers.

I think the way we presented it was successful since we did what our audience surveyed when we asked them how they listen to music





this proves my point on how i think it was a successful method due to the amount of plays each had.

Even tho I think it was a success I still think that it can be improved.
My thought to improve the way we present the playlist is to still upload it on SoundCloud but some who are willing can also preform it in a gig in college or at a college event meaning we have to survey the students in college what type of music do they like to hear.

class mate songs

  What I like about kits son is at the start when it fades out and the melody's that was create.


What i like about keanu's song that its got a really good mix and the sample is interesting What i like or find interesting is the the sounds the jake made



Really nice mix love the drums and the melody fits well with the chords

looping is it an art?

Looping

Looping in music is where you record your self preforming an instrument (for example guitar) and overdubbing  a preexisting loop you've recorded. people all over the world who have ever done it or seen it live have discussed and debated on if good thing for music or if its not music at all.

Pros on Looping 

the good thing about looping as some people have said it useful for doing two thing at the same time without needing an extra pair of hands.it also handle for when artistes want to write lyrics for a song so they would loop it on one particular part.

Con on Looping  

some say that looping is not music art since it only repeats the some thing record and no instrument is used. 

My thought are that loops are classed a music is help out when your making or writing music so therefore it should be noticed as an art of music. using it or not is completely up to the artist but it would look nice always using it in your music all the time or on stage.
