Hey, it has been a while!

So, I got great news, I got a version of Logic Studio, so I have been messing with Logic again. I used a technique I learned from Henry Kerins, which was to chop up sounds in a song using the slice and scissor tool in Logic.

I then inserted them into the Sampler instrument in Logic, something that Henry taught me back in the Media Lab class, to move the song around where i want the sounds to sound.

I then added a rock/ Hip-hop drum to the song, all done by me =).  Last but not least I thought it was missing some funk, so I added an organ to the song, with a very syncopated rhythm I learned about in Music Lab.

Enjoy this track everyone =D!!!!!! Listen and spread the knowledge and experiment.

Today in Media Lab I completed my track that I will play for the Performance Party. In the beginning I started off with an orchestra. As it goes on I added some robot sounds and drum beats. Then at the end I ended with a violin.

I used the tempo changes to transition because each loop was a different tempo, so if you slow it down then it goes back to a normal tempo which blends in.

I picked the orchestra sounds because it sounded hip-hopish, and thats what I wanted my piece to sound like.

Today in Media Lab, I created a new track for the Performance Party.

I started off with something that was based on an orchestra that was playing hip-hop music. Then, I added an audio file that souds like a robot. After it goes on and comes back to the orchestra. Check it out!

Today I finally finished my piece that I have been working on for about 3 weeks.

I added one more bass line to what I was originally working on, and then added a solo to it on the piano, and then bounced the final copy of it. I bet 5 dollars I will win this competition.

Today in Media Lab I created a track which contains part from a video called Leeroy Jenkins. In the beginning, the entrance of the track starts off with someone shouting “Leeroy Jenkins.” After the entrance of the track, a bassline starts. As the bassline goes on, a guitar comes in. As the track goes on, another person shouts Leeroy Jenkins. I’m going to keep working on it so I can share it next week.

Hey today wasn’t the most creative day I have had. I guess its one of those days… I am experiencing beat makers block. I had no creativity or idea of what to do. So today I learned mixing techniques and how to make better sounding kick drums. It brought back other things I learned from the media lab class. The thing I had to use was the EQ, which messes with the bandwidth and specific parts of a sound. Once again I’d like to thank Jori Ketten and Henry Kerins for taking their Monday afternoon to work with us kids and teaching us something new and innovative.
