Music Technology

Improvements:



We have improved our music recording from the last music class. This time, the video is 2 min long. At 0:06, the piano and guitar play the Bx chord sequence which is A minor, E minor, G, D. At 0:21, the chord sequence being played by the bass guitarist and pianist, is accompanied by a female vocalist singing "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?". At 0:52, the vocalist then sings "These open doors" accompanied by bass guitar and piano playing By major chords which are F,C,F,C. In addition a tambourine is being used. At 1:27, the vocalist goes back to 'Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?" along with the piano only.Then at 1:43, the pianist plays solo and finishes at 2:00.

2nd Reflection throughout these lessons:

Throughout these lessons, i have enjoyed recording and playing an instrument. I feel that i have put a lot of effort in working on this task because this song was particularly interesting and wanted to find out how to play it without the use of music technology. If we had more time to compose and edit our performance, it would be an excellent music recording. In my process journal, i did the best i could to keep it up to date. i have explained the recordings, what chords are used and impact of technology on music. To improve, i would give my answers in a little more depth and knowledge. In addition, i learnt how to play a bass guitar but only the basics using strings G,D,A,E only. I wish that i could have learnt piano skills which can only be achieved by spending time playing the piano and browsing the Internet to give me tips on how to play this instrument. Overall, i think that my group has done a lovely rehearsal for this computerised version of  "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?".

  1. A good performance & a good reflection, aside from the misunderstanding that this is an acoustic performance using no computers (only to post the recording so it doesn't count)
