Idea 1: songwriting
Writing a song for our project will require the following:
Music theory – chords, scales, keys, harmony, rhythm, melody, structure, genre, tempo and dynamics.
Coming up with a chord progression for the song and coming up with a verse part and a chorus part and maybe a build up or breakdown if thats what type of song it is.
Coming up with other parts for example i play guitar so i would have to first create a chord progression and then also think about a lead guitar part and maybe drums, bass and maybe even a piano/synth part.
Rehearsing this song to the best extent possible with your collaboration buddies if there is any. Recording. Producing. Mixing, mastering.
Showing all progress of song writing and production in form of videos and written evaluations. Explaining elaborately how the song came along and each part that was added to it or removed
Idea 2: performance
Performing live, with bands or solo or duo.
Using a loop pedal and a guitar to make percussion sounds and chord progressions and lead parts to layer on top of each other to create a song live with just one guitar like Ed Sheeran does with his acoustic guitar.
As a band performing some cover songs and maybe one original. If as a band we write a song then we could perform it at the final showcase to show everyone the song. And then also do some covers of some other songs within that genre to show how the song we made fits into that genre. Hypothetically.
A solo acoustic act. Performing alone on stage with just a guitar and a microphone singing acoustic covers while playing the songs.
