Candidate Name<\/td>Oliver Wright<\/td><\/tr>
Candidate Number<\/td>10656512<\/td><\/tr>
Pathway<\/td>UAL Level 3 Music Performance & Production<\/td><\/tr>
Project Title<\/td>RECALIBRATE<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Section 1:  Rationale (approx. 100 words)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Over the past months I have covered a lot of ground, including areas such as live sound, recording\/mixing, and composition. However, the two topics which gave me the most enjoyment were performance and songwriting (specifically with Ableton), so I aim to combine those in my final project. I showed competency when rehearsing and performing, giving me the desire to create a live performance for the showcase.<\/td><\/tr>
Section 2: Project Concept (approx. 200 words)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
The main concept in mind is to create a composition that utilises the Loop tool in Ableton and recreate the piece solo in a live performance. I aim to improve my compositional and performance skills, whilst gaining experience of releasing music. To enable this, I require several instruments and a microphone (incl. respective leads\/cables), access to a Mac and Ableton Push, and a practice room. My project will be realised as a solo live performance, in which I use Ableton and play every instrument myself.<\/td><\/tr>
Section 3: Evaluation (approx. 50 words)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
I aim to keep up with daily reflections and, at the same time, update necessary pages with decisions\/changes. Evaluations will be weekly, and at the end of the project I will evaluate the entire thing, from beginning to completion. Writing will be my main method, although I aim to use either voice notes or video logs as well.<\/td><\/tr>
