During this weeks tutorial we discussed what elements we would like to improve on so that we could decide on our own individual learning outcomes. We also discussed starting to design a map/schedule to work to. This is to help keep us and other people we work with organised. For example, arranging a time where we have booked a practice room and are able to teach and practice the song with any session musicians so that by the time we go to record we can have a good smooth session. This saves time and will ensure we get the best performance.
Reference examples
For our project we will be creating 5/6 pieces of music that are inspired by the work of Will Yip. For this we have selected a range of artists that he has worked with to use as reference for each song. These are;
