Continuing from the last post, this was my main set with “Peasant Blood” we covered four tracks by Royal Blood with a bonus song at the beginning of the set (Uprising - Muse), I had so much fun and it was my first time performing as the frontman of a band, and singing to an audience! It felt great hearing people cheer for me and really support me, I’m looking forward to my next performance!
I did a thing last night… It was awesome! This is an Acoustic set I did with Bella, props to Andy Voakes Music Photography (check it out on Facebook!).

Yup. I’m screwed.

Music Genre
Music Genre is an identification of different pieces of music that belong to a shared tradition or set of conventions. Musical Genre is to be distinguished from Musical Form and Musical Style.
Genres range from Classical to Space Rock, even to Nu Metal. Each style has different characteristics but some share a few characteristics either because they derived from a specific style and branched off into slightly different styles. An example of this is how the original Rock n’ Roll developed into the different genres of Rock, starting with Classic Rock the characteristics were changed by creative artists and new Genres started to bloom; this involves Progressive Rock, Psychedelic Rock and Experimental Rock. The same thing happened with different styles too, for example, Funk derived from Soul and Jazz.
Three Genres I’ve decided to researched: Soundtrack, Reggaeton and New Wave.
Soundtrack is the main categorisation of all Soundtracks for Film, Video Games, etc. Artist/Composers that I enjoy are Hans Zimmer, Klaus Badelt, Michael Salvatori, Martin O’Donnell, Stephen Rippy, Danny Elfman and Jeff Williams.
As I’ve said, Soundtrack is a huge categorisation rather than a specific genre, Soundtrack can be simple pop songs from different eras, for example Guardians of the Galaxy use famous songs like Hooked on a Feeling and Barracuda. Most film soundtrack and vide game soundtracks will have orchestral traits within, some directors go for the full classical-ambient sounds for their film for example Tim Burton teaming up with Danny Elfman for an eerie soundtrack, others go for a hybrid of synth/electronic, band and orchestral instruments for example, the video game series Halo has composers Michael Salvatori and Martin O’Donnell for its first three games, and some even go for a simple techie soundtrack with all synthesizers, electronic instruments or band instruments such as electronic drum machines, keytars, live piano later produced for added effects, etc.
Reggaeton is a Latin Popular genre that is listened across Mexico and South America; the style of the music is very similar to American Rap and Hip-Hop music.

Context - How? - What? - Why? Band Bio - Behind the Hyde On the 11th of May I played at The Latest Music Bar in Behind the Hyde and in the Elton Sam Band. My main performance is in Behind the Hyde, this band consisted of Amber and Elisha on Vocals, Me on Lead guitar, Connor on Rhythm guitar, Matt as our session bassist and Angus as the Drummer. We originally chose a few songs to do covers at various gigs as we were given the oportunity to play at the Ammex football stadium in Brighton, the gigs at the Ammex got booked by different bands in Brighton making us loose the oportunity. After a gig we did on the 23rd of March (Latest Music Bar) we decided to re-write our setlists and rethink what songs we would play. Our original set list for college consisted of: ~ Psycho by Puddle of Mudd. ~ Thnks Fr Th Mmrs by Fall Out Boy. ~ Zombie by The Cranberries (which me, Connor and Amber played in our first college band on the 6th of Nov, 2014, this was our best song to perform so we decided to play it at each gig). ~ The Pretender by the Foo Fighters. We also had two songs out of choice that we would play as Encores or replacements: ~ Dani California by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. ~ Supermassive Black Hole by Muse. So when we came back into the summer term in April we were told of the gig on the 11th of May, that’s when Amber and Elisha said they only wanted to do originals for that gig, the rest agreed and me, Connor and Angus jammed until we came up with a song which later became Child on MD, our first composition. Two Weeks later we came up with another song that we scrapped as nobody but me and Connor, later that week I came up with the Riff for the next song, working with Connor and Angus again, we ended up with our second composition called It Couldn’t be You. With both songs, we composed the backing track and Amber and Elisha wrote the lyrics afterwards; these two tracks became Child on MD and It Couldn’t Be You. We chose to do our set list on the eleventh like so: ~ It couldn’t be you ~ Psycho ~ Child on MD ~ Zombie and the Pretender as a encore. We chose to do these songs in this order as we wanted to perform tracks that we knew well as well as the new tracks that we composed in the previous weeks. We structured the set list following the tuning of the songs, as the first two were in Drop D tuning and the last three were in E Standard. The choice of what songs we played on the night was simple, personally I wanted to play a different song rather than Psycho but everybody else preferred to play it as they believed it was our best track in that tuning. We chose Zombie as our last track as it has been our best track since the first gig. The decision to play the Pretender was floating around in rehearsals but it was more of a, “Let’s just do it” on the night situation. The venue that we played at on the 6th of Nov, 23rd of March and the 11th was The Latest Music Bar in Brighton, we chose this venue as a default venue, incase we couldn’t get anywhere else. I know that Shana and Sasha took charge of managing the venues for the college and they told me they tried to get a few different ones including the Haunt and Komedia.
Research - What materials are you using to support your project? I.E. Artists/Music/Gigs that have influenced your work.
Practical Skills - A file or link to your work/performance. Include your journal (What you did each Week). Week One - Week Two - Week Three - Week Four - Week Five - Week Six -
Evaluation and Reflection - This should be ongoing (at least weekly) - Evaluate each aspect of your work, I.E. Your rehearsals and/or productions. How I think I did. Personally I don’t believe I did well in the last gig on the 11th. I felt that the band needed more practice to tighten up the tracks we were playing, these tracks consisted of two tracks we composed (Child on MD and It Couldn’t Be You) and two covers (Psycho by Puddle of Mudd and Zombie by The Cranberries); we also played an extra track The Pretender by the Foo Fighters. How the band did. How well the night was run and promoted. How i could have helped the promotion. What I would do to promote at the next gig. Band rehearsals Improvements.
BE SPECIFIC.
27/4/15 During our break today we managed to compose a second song for our next gig. This is all just a clean, soft song. Once all the parts were written we rehearsed it a few times through. Once we played it over more, Amber, our singer became slightly unsure about playing this at our gig. This might just be because of the style of song it is. As we compose more we’ll decide whether or not to include this in our set
Rehearsals Wed, 15/Apr/2015
Today in Behind the Hyde we were supposed to be composing tracks for our next gig in May, 11th. Although I was late only the drummer was around to rehearse, unfortunately the other band I’m in (The Elton Sam Band) wasn’t in this morning so I couldn’t rehearse with them at all. Each band member in Behind the Hyde is in another band but we planned to be composing in this session back on the monday before.
The singers said they will only stay in Behind the Hyde if we don’t do covers and instead do originals. The problem I have with that is that they wants to entirely change the genre and style of the band when we have been Alternative Rock since the beggining, I am finding it very hard to compose in the “50′s/Soul” style that Elisha wants to sing in and don’t think it’s a good idea for the band to change the style so drastically, so I am going to attempt to compose a song that is not too different from our original style but has acoustic features within the track. I will try to accept the problem and go with whatever choice the band prefers, good or bad.
Besides the problems that seem to only be happening to me, me and Connor have started a band outside of the college that will hopefully go much better, stay together and go somewhere in the future.
Today during our break, I came down to the studios to help a new band to record their composition song. Here I have taken a couple of pictures of the micing round the kit, and one guitar amp set up and all the XLR cables into the studio box. I have also got a picture of the board showing where all the cables are plugged into. This helps us to set up the desk foe recording. After a while setting up and getting sound levels right we took a couple of recodings without the vocals. After this was all recorded, we got the vocal mic set up for a recoding. After we got all the tracks done, we put it together and played the whole track
Bad Impressions Rehearsals - 14/01/15
This session Elisha joined our rehearsals as the 2nd vocalist. As we cannot perform more than 4 songs at the gig, we dropped ‘Dani California’ by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Our set list is now;
Psycho Thnks fr the mmrs Zombie The Pretender
Elisha and I worked on adding harmonies to our vocals as two strong voices singing in unison isn’t a great sound.
- Angus Found a Double Bass Pedal -
ADDITION.
I booked out the double bass pedal for rehearsal with Chris' band as I am their drummer (sort of), and Angus wanted to play it, and the songs sounded even better!
For our next gig we have decided to play these four songs. We have rehearsed these for a while and they are sounding nice. Thnks Fr Th Mmrs and The Pretender still need a bit more work with timing. The other two songs are sounding good. The first two songs are in drop D and the others in standard tuning. We will be playing them in this order to save time on stage with tuning
In today’s lesson we got the drums recorded for our composition. We set up the mic and XLRs in live room 2 and the mixing desk all set in next door. With all the levels for the mics sorted, we set up fold back for Angus to hear the guitar and bass track to play along to. We recorded the drums a...
This session, Connor, Carla, Angus, Myself and Gino wrote 3 ideas of new songs each on the board. We then chose our favourite song from everyone elses selection. We have decided to stay with Zombie by the Cranberries. Our new songs are; Thnks Fr The Mmrs by Fall Out Boy, Psycho by Puddle of Mudd,…
As the gig was cancelled we are performing at the college canteen instead on Thursday. Bad impressions are performing 2 songs, zombie by the cranberries and sharpest lives by My chemical romance.
We did a run through of both songs a few times, all parts of the song are good apart from the vocals…
Along with this, i will be playing the lead guitar part in the verse and chorus and either Gino or Carla will be playing the solo
We have been for the last 5 weeks recording Zombie by the Cranberries on monday mornings.
In the first week we decided to record the bass (Connor) as well as the guitar (Will) while myself and Gino set up the microphones (AT4033a, NT5. SM57 ) and also used the DI (direct input) box to record the…
In today’s production lesson we recorded the vocals over and un-edited version of our recording of Zombie by The Cranberries. We used a condenser microphone for the vocals, which is also used for stereo recoding on a drum kit. On the mic we set the polar pattern to a cardioid pattern so it would...
Production 1/12/14
In today’s lesson we started editing the individual tracks from recording. We added EQ to the drum tracks to take out the high and low end frequencies to take out the bleed from other drums/instruments. We then did the same to the guitars and bass. Next week we will finish the editing and start recording the vocals to then put onto the track
