For my project, I will produce and perform an original song. I would like to perform my song at the Weston College Summer Show that will take place in June. I am receiving help from Karleton Williams to create the backing track to the song. I will be creating all lyrics and producing the song. This means I will be sending him a blueprint of how I want the song to be e.g. the genre and what instruments to include.
I will be communicating with Karleton through Facebook Messenger and regular phone calls. I will screenshot the conversations as form of evidence and log them within my developmental blogs.
To help me with this project, I will be undertaking research surrounding my chosen topic. I will create a questionnaire to gain insight into how professional musicians create and market their own music. I will also create case studies for a couple of professional musicians to find out key information, such as genre and tempo, is order to help me with composing an original song for the Summer Show.
For the Performance, I will need:
- 1x Tall Mic Stand - 1x Music Stand - 1x SM58 Dynamic Microphone - XLR lead - 1x Fold Back Monitor - PC or Laptop to play my backing track on with outputs left and right to go in to the Mixing Desk. - Soft lighting
I have chosen to work collaboratively with Karleton as he has the knowledge with Logic Pro X and how to professionally create and mix a track.
