Easter Plans

By
Main focus:
- Practising drums
- Sound design
- Completing the project 4 proposal
- Collaborating with Jonny on a metal dubstep hybrid track
- Continue working on the DOOM Re-Score

I will use my off time during the easter holidays to practice drums because I have a drumkit at home in Austria and I am going back for 2 weeks from the 8th of April until the 25th of April. 
During those first two weeks I will only have my laptop and thus will be limited in terms of music production so instead, I will try to focus on Sound design by watching tutorials and attempting to recreate sounds I like. 
Additionally, I will complete my project 4 proposal and when I'm back in England I will collaborate with Jonny who is a friend of mine and very talented guitarist, we are currently working on a metal  dubstep hybrid track which is inspired by Modestep. Together we will continue writing the track and hopefully finish it in the next 4 week. 
My final goal for the easter break is to continue working and hopefully finish the re-scoring of the DOOM soundtrack which I have started off about 3 weeks ago.

Project 4, Session diary 7: Mick Gordon's DOOM soundtrack

By
Week 3, Monday 15th of May Goals: Optimize workflow, continue working on the instrumental, practice sound design in serum and with the Korg Volca Bass, write notation for instruments to record Resources: DAW (FL Studio, Logic), instruments (guitar, piano, etc.), leads, mics, Diary: I completed 3 of the 4 goals I set myself this week, I practiced sound design and wrote a blog post about how I jammed with the Korg Volca Bass. I continued working on the instrumental and have nearly completed it now. I tested the mix in MIT 3 through the Genelec speakers and wrote down some things I need to focus on and change to make it cleaner. I also restructured my room to create a more comfortable working environment, I moved my bed to the window to create more space to sit at the desk and removed equipment I don’t use to have more desk space. This really helped me optimize my workflow because I didn’t have things lying around and distracting me and additionally I could easily get t...

Project 4, Session Diary 3: Industry related project & agenda for Thursday

By
Today I started with my Research Task A, I chose the songs that I will analyse and wrote down the main focus points of my research for example: Performance accuracy Audio quality Recording techniques Mixing techniques Arrangement Production techniques I started analysing the first of the three tracks “True Friends by Bring Me The Horizon”. I listened to the track multiple times and wrote down some key aspects of the track and how it differs from the typical metal song. I analysed the music video and tried to figure out what gear Jordan Fish (the keyboard player and programmer uses) in the studio and for his live performances. I found an interview where he shines some light on this topic and I will probably use some quotes from it. In the lesson Industry Related Project I learned how to cite correctly using the Harvard format and Colin Duran our lecturer showed us a very useful website called “Cite This For Me” which automatically creates citations for your ...

Learning a second instrument: drums

By
At the moment I'm trying to learn to play drums, I'm currently collaborating on a coupke of tracks with my very good friend Tom who is a extremely talented drummer. One of my favourite things to do when producing a track is to programm the drums, not just accoustic and/or electronic but also epic cinematic percussion. My hands and feet are usually tapping on something in a rhythmic way (I'm very bad at sitting still) and because of all this I figured: why not just try playing drums? Three days ago I was in the studio jamming with Tom and he taught me some basic drumbeats which I picked up pretty quickly, I really enjoyed it.... So yesterday I went to the drum pods and booked one for 1:30 hours and just jammed along to tracks that I liked and it was so fun! So today I bought some used drumsticks from Max and I'm going to try to practise at least 3 days a week to hopefully be mediocre by the time of christmas. Atleast that is my goal.
