L3 Unit 8: Week 2



For when recording guitar away from the studio, I will research the recording of guitars into logic and how to get a good sound from the amps in logic. It also goes through the different pedal boards you can apply like distortion pedals, delay pedals, and harmony pedals which will be useful for my upcoming songs I recon







Today is where I begin work on my next song, it never fails to excite me when it comes to songwriting. there will be multiple images coming up showing our writing session including riffs, chords, and all sorts of information about the music theory behind what we have so far
This is my set up


Here is our bassist Misu


and here is our new drummer Bien

The writing session was mostly successful and we created a pretty silly song but it worked well.

the song itself is two notes E and F and I play a lot of octaves in the riff

Our working title is gonna be "Yellow Fog" since it sounds a little bit like purple haze by Hendrix but that name is probably not going to last

The idea for this track is going to be a big brain idea from me. If I were to write a 10 or 11 minute jam and cut the song in half and make it two songs for the EP I will have saved a lot of time. This is coming together well.

I want there to be a seamless transition between songs on the album, even though theres two separate tracks on the EP I will count the song as one. I can provide a couple of examples of this on albums

Tool
Lost Keys - Rosetta Stoned

UNIT 8: Research

Image
Throughout the course of this project I have done a lot of research in this project so today I will show and explain all the research I've done in this project. What you see here the tabs for "Enter Sandman" and "Lucretia". During the creation of my First and original song "Take it to your grave" I wanted to figure out a new section for my song as I didnt know what would come next. I didn't exactly use this as after i finished the solo the song goes into an interlude so i did not use this but it is good for the future in songwriting.  i knew what i wanted to do with my song, it involved getting a sample from a show called "Invincible" where a character named "Conquest" tells the main character all about his struggles and his loneliness before attempting to kill him followed by him saying "Take it to your grave" which inspired the name of my track. In order to extract Conquest's voice, I had to download the youtube ...

L3 Unit 5 & 6

This will be my on going diary for units 5 and 6 dedicated to the creation, recording, and mixing of my music video.   For this assignment, I need to write a song, record it in logic, mix it, record a music video, edit the music video, and release it on YouTube. The song that my band have chosen to recording a music video for is "Take it to your Grave" which is a song about the character named "Conquest" from the comic book TV adaptation "Invincible". In the season 3 finale, Invincible faces planet Viltrums most feared warrior "Conquest" who batters invincible from pillar to post. During the fight, Conquest opens up to our hero and discusses his feelings of loneliness and isolation from his own race and how he doesn't even get his own name, only a purpose. He tells Invincible "Take it to your Grave" and tries to kill him. I thought Conquest would make a fantastic theme for a song so I wrote Take it to your grave about him I wrote th...

UNIT 8: Evaluation

  During the creation of these four songs, I learnt a lot about music and songwriting and it was a great experience overall . At the start I made the M aster of P uppets interlude to get my hands on L ogic so I could understand it better . I didn't intend on using that on my EP but I eventually ended up using it as the second track. Once I had completed the guitars for the first song , I started work on my second song “Take it to your grave” This is a song that I take great pride in as it's my first ever original song . The main riff was created on a random drunken Thursday evening and the next day I came into college and I put it into logic . There a lot of figuring out to do such as the tempo, the key of the riff, the bassline etc. But I eventually finished the song by adding a solo using the A minor pentatonic scale and adding an interlude part of the song using a sample from the animated television show “Invincible” where a character named Conquest tells the...
