I created this 2-minute collection of Scary Sounds with Gio. We really wanted to present a soundscape that felt creepy, while weaving a sense of fear  throughout the composition.

Scary soundtrack

This is part of the first song I made with Gio and Cedric.

My first verse

Learn to Play Piano

I started this project on Election Day, reflecting my thoughts of how things are in this world. My group members included Gio. My story is a direct way in which I can relate to the outcome. Initially, I felt really worried, but now Im fine. So, in this song, I am focusing on the election because that is whats going on right now. I chose the instrumental I did because I wanted it to set a political mood or tone that reflects my feelings about the outcome and what I thin about it

Election Response to Media

This is an 8-bar loop I made with Axel going for a hip-hop- type music style

Hip-hop-Type Beat Loop

This is the two-minute broadcast I made with partner Axel. The goal of the podcast is to share news of what’s going on with Pittsburg High students. Our goal was to tell the news in a proper way one because we are live and don't want to make a fool of ourselves.

2 Minute Broadcast School News

I created this 5-track with my partner Axel. The point of the song was to show DYNAMIC RANGE between the parts of a typical, 5-part Rock Song. This meant that I needed to change volume levels in my mix to be sure the melody was the featured part. I also added my own style to the song to make it sound a little more creative. The hardest part of this assignment was adding more sound.

Project 9 - Heart & Soul

I recorded this 2-track of my DJ Artist name with a short instrumental beat playing on this project with my partner axel.

Project 11 - DJ Artist Tag

This is an example of the kind of work I could create as a demo of my DJ abilitieies. I created this 5-track Beat Sample project on my own, using one of the drum loops I created in Project 10, I created a my own 4+-track loop pattern in DM1, added a bass line, recorded my own DJ / Artist Tag and then included at least one short sample from a song that fit with my beat to show how I could use multiple forms of media together to create music for a live show I would enjoy playing music for.
