It Looks Like

Taken from an LP composed and produced by BSc Music Technology student Jade Hammond as part of her final year Individual Project.
Composer: Jade Hammond (BSc Music Technology)

For my project I chose to concentrate on song writing primarily. I completed the song writing module's in both years’ one and two at university and this is always something I had been keen on expanding. Fortunately, the knowledge I had gained throughout my undergraduate course has allowed me to develop my understanding of this area thoroughly, as well as recording and mixing. As a whole, my aim was for all of the songs to have quite a pop feel to them whilst incorporating different elements such as rock, acoustic percussion and electronic synths. I wanted variation from each and every track so that there was still an interest on repeated listening. 

Jade Hammond (Bsc Music Technology 2015)

I have just finished my 3rd year on the BSc Music Technology course at the University of Kent. Throughout my degree my key musical interests have developed particularly within song writing, composing for TV/film and electro-acoustic composition. My main influences include artists such as Damien Rice, Eva Cassidy, Amy Winehouse, Norah Jones, Radiohead and Biffy Clyro. I would like to continue in the direction of postgraduate study doing an MA in Music Technology and either progress into song writing/composing or teaching Music Technology.

The Album - New Temples.

I wanted the album to have a large collaborative element to it. Therefore multiple musicians can be heard throughout, bringing their own take and style to each track. The lyrical content of the songs are related to each other. This decision was made in order to create the image of a singular work. To help further this concept, the start and end of each track blend into one another. In addition to this, the bass lines tend to take a more prominent role than usual, and unconventional song structures are favoured over the more traditional types.

Julian Landauer (BSc Music Technology 2015)

My influences for the album consisted largely of modern indie bands, such as Bombay Bicycle Club, Everything Everything, FOALS and Two Door Cinema Club, though I often utilised the songwriting techniques of popular 80s acts like Prince and The Police. My general musical interests, however, include a broader range of genres, from post-hardcore outfit Funeral for a Friend, to the electronic style of producers such as Jai Paul and Mount Kimbie.

After graduation, I intend to continue writing music, both in a solo capacity and in collaboration with other musicians, seeking to further refine my writing style and technical ability. I would also like to record a live session version of one of the songs.
