L3 Unit 8: Week 5

 

Today I will be recording "Corrosion of the Mind" the second song by "Poisonous soul"

The lineup looks like this for today. 
Bobby - Guitar
Polly - Guitar
Bien - Drums
Misu won't be here today, but he will record his bass lines presumably on Tuesday as I have booked out the studio yet again for Tuesday afternoon. Now that things are starting to come together, I'll have be using the studio to record as much drums as possible. 
Here's the plan:
Record the guitars straight into the mac so I can mix them later whilst Bien also records his drums at the same time
if we have any spare time I can do vocals for both "Corrosion of the Mind" and "Poisonous Soul"
if we have any spare spare, me and Bien can make a start on our 3rd song which has no title yet.


Tuplet group research

For example, a quintuplet of notes would consist of five eighth notes played in the space where four eighth notes (or one half note) would normally fit. The grouping is marked with a bracket or slur and the number “5” to indicate the tuplet.

This can be used for fast solos leaving room for maybe 5 or 6 notes between bars. 





Jump in the fire by Metallica for example uses this all the time.

UNIT 8: Research

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...
