Today we met out teacher or music for the year. We learnt the basics of logic and was given an explanation of MIDI. MIDI stands for musical instrument digital interface, and it is a language that enables instruments talk to each other in binary code. The velocity of music can determine the emotion and dynamics of the music. We recorded s four bar loop and we used quantisation to improve timing errors, then we used velocity and the scissor tool. We did a four bar loop because western modern music is written in multiples of four so the dj can mix it easily and it makes scene to the listener.


27th september
looked at percussion
set a four bar loop
tempo and metronome
made 4\4 kick pattern
with a snare on the 2 and 4
then added syncopated bats between the down beats and the upbeats

Today we was given a track that we had to change the velocity and quantise. I also recorded my own bass line and then duplicated all the instruments into a 16 bar loop. We then bounced the logic document into an mp3 music file then uploaded it onto sound cloud (link above).

I added a new bass line and changed the dynamics of the notes to make the music evoke emotion.

Midi stands for musical instrument digital interface, it is a language that instruments use to communicate with other instruments.

Quantising is fixing the timing mistakes that make it more suitable for the genre. It is measured in divisions of a bar.

Swing is the human feel of the performance.

In logic we have the swing and quantised tools that effect the emotion of the music.

Velocity is how softly or firmly the notes are played and adds dynamics.

8/11/17
signal flow
record enable
input monitoring
inputs and outputs in logic system prefrecences
io buffer- latency
recorded in audio
selected tempo
turned on metronome


end of term make 1 and half min logic track with every type of track

audio continued
input of audio - recording- loops
samples
hits are one sharp sound
loops have tempo info built into them meaning you cant stretch them
looked at editing the audio using scissor tools and the loop and resize function.
These types of audio processing are non destructive
we cut resized made smaller and longer our loops
tried to stretch the loops (slow down) but it didnt work unless it was a midi file
transient
midi- velocity (dynamics)
keeping it intime with how the transient laid on the grid
bounced the audio file in place which resampled it and allowed us to have our own version of it
using effects to audio makes it sound origianal
we made the audio file half time by stretching it double the length
we resampled the loop again into the exs 24 sampler by right clicking on the file and converted it into a new sampler track by transient markers.
This allowed us to rearrange it into our own drum beats.

next weeks task is to find two songs that you would like to sample
1 for the drum beats
1 for melody
one new and one old.

UNIT 4- ROMANTICISIM

Image
Romanticism evaluation Mya Howlett Our research on romanticism started with finding poetry, art work, music and theatre during the period (aprx. 1800-1850). We soon realised that most art and literature was inspired by strong emotions such as apprehension, terror and horror in coincidence of the celebration of nature imagination and beauty. You could say this spur of emotion provoking art was an effect of the industrial revolution. Romantic writers such as William Blake changed their writing style to focus on the inner world of emotions of the narrator, this style enabled the reader to empathize for the writer. This became very popular however was only effective if the writer had developed fine skills. We also learned about 'romanticism today' in contextual studies. We looked at vouge and other fashion modelling shoots and commercials. There was themes of flowers and frills, and nude and pastel colours. This helped me to design make up ideas that are modern but authenti...

UNIT 6- THE DUMB WAITER

Unit 6 - The Dumb Waiter 5/1/17     - In today's acting lesson we where working in the theater. We had an introduction to the new script work assignment. We where all given a script of 'The dumb waiter' and we read it through as a group taking turns to read aloud. The script, written by Harold Pinter, consists of 2 characters; Gus and Ben. Gus and Ben are two assassins waiting in the basement of a restaurant waiting for a call. The dialogue is the two characters chatting and wasting time. The status roles between the two characters are clear and I would say Gus has a very low status of 2/10 because of how forgetful, stupid, annoying and childish he can be. However, Ben has a higher status than Gus, and i know this because of how controlling, belittling, and clever Ben is compared to Gus. My personal opinion of the script is that theres a lot of context and the roles can be as big as you want to make them. I  partnered with Carla and given the part of Gus from page...

UNIT 9- PRODUCING AND PERFORMING TO AN AUDIENCE

Monday 21th  may For this unit i was given the responsibility of being the technical director and stage manager of the level 3 acting final show. In simpler terms, i was in charge of all production aspects of this show. This meant my job included taking ideas from the acting students and creating them, sourcing props and costumes, over looking the well being of the actors, making sure my tech crew was informed on what their jobs are, reading through the script and marking it up with cues, and through out performances calling the lighting and sound cues through canns headsets, for example when being stage manager I would say 'standing by LX 4 and SFX 6..... SFX 6 and LX 4 go.' SFX- sound effect     LX- Lighting cue Today I visited the drama students in the studios to see how rehearsals are coming along and to take in requests for production. each student was allocated a production role and I spoke to each  group of students for every area eg. costume, lighting, so...
