audience survey

we did a survey about how our audience listen and discovers music. according to my survey more
people like streaming music from from SoundClound and YouTube.

in class we throw out ideas on how we can get our audience to listen to our music. we mention on if they listen to it live or for free online how much would they pay for they music or not that stuff. this this what we came up with

this survey suggest that the people i asked would pay £10-£20

we also talked about how we would put out our music for our audience. this is what we decided on

just like the first graph shown this shows us that my audience listen to music on SoundCloud  and YouTube so we made a playlist on put it on those's two platform. 

context essay

how music was shaped in the 80s 

Hip Hop in the 80s was known as the golden age for it. the ones who was mostly known in this genre
was: RUN DMC, Public enemy, Eric B, Rakim and slick rick. it was experimental sampling eclectic at the time which shaped into how it is today. 80s recorded music with digital technology  such as midi. 80s was the birth of midi which improved over time till our time to make music.

Many artiest in Hip Hop had there own style. for example Run DMC was more poetic and wild. but Rakim was more hardcore which influenced a lot of grime and hip hop today.






Hip hop was mostly used by African amarica and was known as an sub cultural movement in the 70s so it heavily influenced on youth today. 

Did they influence me

These artists did really inspire me but they also didn't inspire me. They inspire a lot of artist today for example slick rick inspired nas and nas inspired my favourite artists j cole and he heavily inspired me.

my songwriting song

For my song I use an alarm I ripped of on YouTube at the start. I then used a sample that says "this is an emarganse" and used it like a drum at the start. I could only come up with the chores and 1 verse but I plan to finish it off. 

with this song i use come chords u would probably hear in most song. with this i was influenced by stevi wonders

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.
