Day 4 of music production J term

 Today, we worked on our individual songs while preparing for a producer to come and visit the school. 






He then talked to us about how the music industry is and the way to navigate through it. He explains through social media and building on your own brand. He shows there is a harder way to be completely independent from the big music companies. It was a very interesting talk and very useful for future striving independent artists.

Day 3- Music Production and Djing

Image
 Day 3     For our third day we started it by walking to Black Hole and picking something up to eat/drink. Then we strolled around the near by neighborhoods, giving our minds a rest hoping it will spark up some creativity. Afterwards we headed back to school to focus on our project.  Once the clock hit 11:30 we decided to go out to Cava to eat some lunch. Then we went to Vinal Edge Records, in which we browsed some records. Once we had bought anything that caught our eye we left but before we went we met up with Dj Sun who has won Houston Dj of the year seven times.  He had said the last time he checked how many record he made was fifteen years ago and at the time he had made twenty thousand. After speaking with him we headed back to school and worked on our projects some more.

Day 6 of Music Production & Djing

 Today after a small break we worked on our final projects, we also made a nice little song where we made a song where most people in the class helped. Today i worked on this beat that i ultimately ended up deleting because its just did not go. But it’s all about trial and error. I had already made two beats i really liked so this was mostly just to get creative and fun. Making a beat usually takes me a little while so it’s really fun to just be focused for like the whole day and just chill.

Day 1: Introduction to Music production and DJing

 Today in the first class of music production and DJing, we started the J-term with some questions about our experience with music, such as if we played instruments, and if so which ones, when we fell in love with music, our earliest musical memory, etc... After a bit of open discussion, we took a small break. Afterward, we watched videos on the history of music, human's instruments through different eras, the invention of sheet music, and its origins in the church. We then had another discussion on sheet music and whether or not it is limiting to musicians, as well as cultural shifts in what is and isn't considered high culture. By the time it was finished, it was time for lunch. Once lunch was over, we watched more videos, these ones being on the music industry and record companies. We talked about whether or not the oversaturation of music was a good thing, about the financial struggles of a music artist with record labels, and the complications of trying to break into an in...
