Week 7 #feelingpositive

I had a listen to some of my music again on the weekend and I am now feeling a bit more positive. There is so much that sometimes I forget what I have recorded or made. At the moment I am working on making a theremin beat (thanks N for the idea). A suggested mixing the theremin drums I made with normal drums.

Things to do:

• Get onto mixing and mastering- watch videos
• Also loop pedal/equiment needed for live
• Refine my track for Sound lab- components and flow
• Conceptualise my live performance
• Send theremin loop to M in USA  for rapping
• Use limiters

Track specific goals:

• For single line- use thick analog synth- sound card- record
• Soft1 warm- add reverb
• Silk horns- ask trumpet player or convolution reverb
• Bass- low note then emerge or no chords
• Trumpet libraries/operator- smoother entry & tone. Make it less bright- automate for later
• Arrangement view- record brass
• Returns- sends// mutiple

Reflections from my Wednesday session:

• Theremin feels better when lower at belly-button height
• Experimented with midi mapping
• Condensed sounds- into 2 guitar rig files- easier to transition and combine sounds.
• Going to try and midi map the track too for smoother performance.
• Almost like having diff instruments/voices
• Also mapped effects

Friday session

• Experimented with looping
• How to undo and clear loops
• One with ephemeral sounds, one with distortion
• Also a better setup for theremin rehearsal (pads on left side)

Some tips from A:

• Can crescendo to desired note
• Use different movements with tuning space
• Have a conceptual flow of the piece and map it. E.g. brass, vocals distort/change- filter to blend in , theremin emerge so the theremin is not in the same space as brass and vocals (also a tip from S).​
