Check out our Soundcloud where we have posted a few clips from our new track, and to get involved with the #SIP campaign.
Shikimate’s Interactive Project
Our new Interactive Project (SIP) is a campaign in aid to discover the crucial feedback through social media we feel will be an enormous help in completing our tracks successfully..and we would like it from you!! We are going to regularly post specific organic sounds and tranquil videos in order to review what our targeted audience prefers. Thus giving our band an advantage on what the majority of the public like, and more ultimately, giving you the chance to have a huge impact on our overall production process.
We are going to record simple day-to-day tasks like running the shower, pouring a drink, turning a light switch on and off etc. These tasks create a (surprisingly) pleasant, minimal atmosphere when incorporated into music, which in our live performances will be complimented by tranquil videos, for example waves crashing against a cliff, a blossom tree being blown by the wind etc...
So please don’t be shy and tell us what you think!
We will present these audio and video clips to you that we have recorded via Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram, so keep your eyes pealed as we will be asking you which ones you have decided you like the most - all comments welcome and appreciated.
For this module I have decided to form a group with Toni Hodder - my friend, and a fellow Music Production and Performance student at Leeds Beckett. Our band name is Shikimate, in reference to Shikimic acid which is an important biochemical metabolite found in plants and micro-organisms therefore appearing on the list of Group 3 carcinogens of the International Agency of Research on Cancer. Furthermore, Shikimic acid is a precursor for the psychedelic compound dimethyltryptamine (DMT).
Myself and Toni are currently producing a track on Ableton Live in hopes of creating tranquil, minimalistic beats. Click on the link to check out our artist Tumblr page where I explain our influences, process etc and post videos and audio clips for our audience.
