week 25 Project Review, Risk assessment and other stuff

hello there for all those who wish to read my latest update on whats been going on at my noise solution as you all know or haven't known ive been on holiday and im now back fully refreshed ready for music and my project for that matter. today we recorded vocally my overall report on how i think the project has gone which went well if you wish to hear click the play button below.





we also took a look at the risk assessment for the studio i work in for my next part of the project the leadership task where i shall be tutoring my mother. me and my mentor went over all the risks and i fully acknowledged all risks and hazards including fire exits and health and safety.

Here is our assessment



we also looked at the weeks that i have to teach in and talked about that in this we talked about the structure of the sessions.

I also had ago with one of my tutors inventions being able to mix and play with sound via a wii remote i think its an awesome idea because a wii remote uses bluethooth in order to connect to certain things including a computer once connected it converts its transmissions to midi and then after with musical computerised sounds involved the worlds your oyster you can tell the remote to read and play different sounds to how you hold the remote including the numchuck which i think is a good idea because it enables people who struggle to create or play music to have the chance to have ago at making music

Week 24

hello there to all that like music to the very ends of the earth its me again at noise pollution and today me and my tutor Simon planned the second part of my arts award the leadership sessions. which will be commencing in may i am hoping to teach my mother so what a fun ride thay'll be. I'm looking forward to teaching and I'm hoping that everything that I' have taught will be good knowledge to keep forever.

Here is my plan - it may change

Today i also had the exclusive opportunity to use a device that my favorite modern 80s syth pop artist little boots uses in her performances called a tanori-on a magical device that enables people who cant play certain instruments or atall to engage in music through creativetivey and art.


The tanori-on uses led lighted buttons that you can press in order of a 16 beat tempo on different octives its an amazing device to use and its very universal to other forms music data such as midi.    

Here is a discussion I had just after making my plan - answering the questions in My Silver booklet about the plan


Part of the planning is to look at health and safety here is me interviewing the Studio owner about his fire regulations and plans if there was a fire

week 22

hi there guyz and this my 22 week at the noise pollution and it is slowly coming near to the end awww but no worries because Simon 1 is back from touring world wide yay! however sadly the old Simon 2 has disappeared but not from the face of the earth today we added the vocals at last to the maggie may sound track by rod Stewart which i enjoyed doing because with lyrics all you have to do is sing them. but we had to over dub in some parts of the song because i lost track of the melody if any of you guys or gils are wondering what over dub means all it is is that when you sing a song and lose your footings you can record over the errored parts of the track where you went wrong. we also double tracked the song in some places giving the song two vocals of my voice so i sung over some bits of the song twice.  we also planned for the next stage in my arts award where i have to teach every thing i've learnt to somebody else who may not know in my case my mum who knows the basics of piano technique s but does not know chords this is what i will teach her and im going to start planning the sessions from next week i will upload the plan so that all may read after i have wrote the plan up. i have have eleven weeks left to complete the silver award and im planning to deliver my sessions in may and ill spend the next few weeks putting the plan together we may also put together a 80s piece if we get time.

Week 21

hi there guyz and this is my 21st week, and to start with we discussed how my plans were going for my leadership project. This will last at least 5 weeks and i am doing this with my mum. here's the basic layout.

Today we also added some more musical material to my Maggie May piece done by Rod Stewart. This is by adding an electric guitar to it. I worked the desk while my temporary tutor took stage and played a reasonably good guitar track, I thought the session went well. We looked at two microphones and recorded them both to get a good sound/

Its also the last week of learning with my temp tutor and i am gonna miss him in a way because he's taught me a fair bit of what he has to know about music and it was good of him to chip in and hopefully he'll pop along to more of our sessions i have at the noise solution.

Here's the track with guitar on
