Welcome to my 2nd project! This time, I am learning how to compose and arrange various genres of music by using with various methods and programs.
First of all, I am composing to a moving image. This means that I am composing a piece of music to play over a video or “moving image”. To do this, I will be using a piece of software called Sibelius. I like using this software as I already have experience with it and think that it is good to be able to see the score whilst hearing the instruments being played. This ties to the industry because it helps us to understand how film music is created.
Secondly, I am going to be writing two songs as part of an ensemble with James, Amelia and Barbora. The first one is an instrumental piece but the second is more of a pop song. This tests our ability to write lyrics and use only the instruments we are able to play. In this case we do not have drums or a bass guitar and are using a piano, two guitars and a singer.
Finally, I will be creating an electronically realised composition using Logic Pro X. This helps us to understand more about the music production industry.
In this project, I aim to have at least 3 compositions analysed and created. I would also like to learn how to write lyrics and gain skills in the use of Logic.
