Rehearsal

Conflict Song Rehearsal

Here you can see how we have managed to interpret various different ideas from the bullet points that I made in class into our actual song. This video unfortunately does not contain all of the performers because unfortunately some of the were away on college trips but none the less it is still a productive practice.

As you can see in the video, Will (the drummer) is wearing a pair of headphones which is linked to the laptop. This is because we created the conflict video in order to interact with the song. Various videos change scenes in time with the lyrics. To do this we had to create a click track which followed the timing of the song and then made the video accordingly.

In this video you can also see how we have modulated the key towards the end of the piece to D major which allows Sophia (trumpet/cornet player) to play the last post which is used to evoke emotion towards the audience.

Conflict Song Structure4 bars intro (Just Piano and bass)

24 bars chorus
4 bars random (Just Piano and bass)
17 bars verse
26 bars chorus
12 bars breakdown
8 bars of build-up
24 bars chorus
24 bars last post

Above you can see how our group took the time out of rehearsal to figure out the structure so that we all know what we are doing and don't get lost when performing the song. This is a good idea so that when it gets to the performance there will be less room for error.


Peace Song Rehearsal

 

Here you can see one of the practices for our peace song. Here you can also see how we have interpreted some of the various bullet points from our discussions into our final composition. Unfortunately again a few of the members of our group were away due to illness, but again it was still an eventful, productive practice.
In the video you can see how our song has a strong reggae influence which helps give off a peaceful up beat feel about the whole song. You can also see how the tempo and key changes towards the end to cause a more diverse atmosphere about the song, this will be good when performing it because it will keep the audience on their toes.
