1st week

Hi there your probably wondering why your reading my blog this week ive been planning my silver arts award project named Music through the ages. my aim is To research and create different pieces of music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s using (within practical limits) the technology of that era.


I've thought about what I want to achieve in my Arts Award challenge and this is the title I have come up with.


"I want to Improve my knowledge and skills in studio production and music history (and playing skills) ie piano, through the creation of 4 tracks from different decades. To do this I will need to research the limitations imposed by technology and the recording process and use those limitations in creating my tracks."


This will include being able to use deeper aspects of the recording software Reaper that I use at the studio
