Reflecting
If i could tell myself anything at the start of the semester, it would be to save EVERYTHING you make!!!!!
Who knows how many sketches and exercises for other classes i lost.
Also that you are not going to apply yourself as much as you can if you’re working 25+ hours each week.
overall though, I am pleased with what I’ve achieved

This chord progression is based of a rock song i wrote recently, this track doesn’t sound similar at all which is something i’ve wanted to do for a while

“yarbles” because the second synth is clockwork orange inspired

A 6/4 analog sequence and mid way through a 4/4 bass is included changing the time signature of the song

This is such a weird track for these guys to make so early in their career. Like is that a keytar? Was that a tapping solo?
This album blends genre so well and is essential for the 200s

Ableton Progress
I’m surprised as to how fast i’m learning to use ableton, having no experience prior to this semester. Youtube tutorials and “lynda.com” have played a big part in this, as well as my general interest motivating me. I hope to get ableton on my laptop rather than just staying back after class, I think i’d learn even quicker.

listening to a lot of vince, who sometimes has a old school feel to his music. This beat sounds like a dangerous west coast 90s track, but still sounds qiute modern with the production. One of my tracks is sounding definitely influenced by this

Great video explaining how they found the sounds through the one synth; the prophet 5. Also mentions rhythmic elements such as ostinato pattern of the bass

A favourite film of mine, and a favourite film score as well. This piece of music was written by Henry Purcell and was for the funeral of Queen Mary titled ‘March”. The synthesizers in this version completely fit the sci-fi theme and add a strange eerie dynamic to the piece.

This thread has some great responses from MGMT about influence, composition and production. I was always curious as to what the effects were on the vocals of the track “Little Dark Age”, and now know that it was a non linear reverb with lots of chorus. They also used a vintage soviet drum machine called Pulsar on the track. I think they make great psychedelic music that sounds new, rather than how a lot of modern psych bands would basically sound like Pink Floyd’s music 40 years ago

there probably could’ve been 5 good songs made from the segments of this song but it all still fits perfect together, i wonder if they intended it to be one song when writing.
I’m doing this currently, with a few different sketches together in a track. It’s pretty ambitious but i hope it works out

Isolation is a potential AOTY
Romil from Brockhampton killed the production on this track

I watch a lot of vox videos, especially the “earworm” series because they show production/writing styles and techniques in examples, what their function is and the history of them in music. I’m currently trying to use shepard tones with the operator instrument in a hip hop track, building suspense before the bass kicks in

It’s awesome not using my guitar to write, because i don’t find myself doing the same thing or following scales much. Knowing where everything is and what goes together can be a hindrance sometimes so using a qwerty keyboard instead is very refreshing.
