write up on what we did last week 22/3/23

Reflection log 22/3/23   I have already written about what we did in lesson last week  . So what went well is we managed to get the riff better than the Friday before that and over the weekend me and Lennon both worked on the riff and we came back and we both was able to play it. Then we manage to do some run throughs of the song square hammer and then we talked about who is doing the solo  no one wanted to do it and I offered to do it because I’ve done it before on the other song for the other gig we had back in October. So I did  a bit of improvisation for it and then I went home and worked on some solo stuff and looked at the original solo for the song and took some ideas out of that and made it my own and add stuff I’ve done before together with some of the stuff from the original. Thursday we did some runs throughs of square hammer and London dungeon again and Friday we did the same we managed to get Alfie to play the bass for square hammer and got hi...

little write up on theory about the website from 18/2/23

Reflection log   18/2/23   Today we were given the task to set up a website for a final major project work and to add a bio and pictures from our previous gig back in October and talk about them on there. also to look up musicians' websites to see how it should be laid out and to get some ideas from it so I looked a different website and here’s things thar should include on your own website which is telling people about yourself so biography. you need social media accounts on there if you have any. you need access to you music /work so people can go see and listen to it. You should have contact details in case people are interest in you or want to offer you something etc so I looked that up add what I could do the blog website and that was it.  

write up on production which talks about the horror show from 28/2/23

Reflection log    28/2/23   Today we talked about the new gig/show in May . So, Rob asked us if we know what songs we are doing yet or have we picked any we discuss some with Andy yesterday. So, we talked about apart from there being just songs we want to tell a story we want soundtracks of creepy horror sounds which I think we are going explore and make in Fridays afternoons lesson more. So Rob showed us this sound track called psycho I think it was and we listened to it and discuss things about it so there was violins and cellos and the violins were playing a nice sound and the cellos were striking and sound not so nice and it was going higher and lower in pitch and descending . Then we looked at exorcist I think it was and that violins as-well and it had a piano in that was going lower and higher in pitch too but the piano is playing the nice sounds and the violin is playing the not so nice sounds . Rob showed us a track with a girl talking creepily and we...

Reflect ion log   20/3/23   Performance /rehearsal fmp   Today we they wanted to start something new so Lennon wanted to do Black Sabbath mashup between heaven and hell and hand of doom. So we had to listen to it and Sandra let use her laptop to find the tab for it and she printed it off for me and then we talked about whether or not we are going to play it in e-flat tuning or play it in standard tuning and decided for it to be in e flat tuning and so I tuned it my guitar down to that which I have never done before and then I listened to some of the song but I wasn’t told which parts they actually wanted me to play so I said I am better at learning this at home to get better understanding of how the song goes and the timing of it etc . S o, we then discuss about doing a different song which was join me in death which me and Cameron liked that Alfie showed us on last Friday as I was watching how it was played yesterday in my free time at home. Then we tried finding the...
