Session Skills

We ended up in the recording studio laying down the Al Green tune we had been wokring on. I enjoyed the process though I feel I could have produced a better last take. It ok though. It took us
perhaps 5 takes to get it down tightly. Nicole then layed down the vocals seperately. We will hear the end result next week. There will be brass recorded on top of it as well. I am enjoying session skills.

Graded Unit

We had individual meetings with Andrew. We talked about the deadline and the interview. I am currently on track with my graded unit and plan to create a pop up book style portfolio.

Music Theory

Unfortunately my meeting with Andrew over ran and music theory was full. I was meant to be in the class Boldbut people from the different group took part taking away spaces from the people who were meant to be in. OH WELL!

1st Study

Steve was off again so we had Cameron for the whole duration. We worked through all the pieces. We are all getting to end of the pieces and look like we are nearly ready to record them.

DAW

I got a lot of work done this class. I managed to almost fully finish a piece on Cubase with the beginnings of orchestration using reason re-wire. I am really enjoying the class though need to catch up on my website design.

Band

We have now started our new groups. I am doing a duet with Aidan. We have already started a tune Aidan wrote. Its funky and the timing is interesting. We have 4 weeks to produce 4 songs. We have already made a good start. In this 4 weeks we dont have to score our pieces though in the next band we will be writing for other musicians. I look forward to this.
