Show #027

I recently graduated from the  SEMA Music Production course by Santuri East Africa. Sketching Sounds is a complication of 2 sketches I produced, wrote, mixed, and mastered for the course final project.

The process behind the tracks:

1) To The Sun -
For the course final project, 1 of 2 assignments entailed producing a sketch in a genre we are not too fond of, familiar with nor inclined to produce/perform. The genre I selected for this sketch was a deep house.

2)Take The Moment -

The other final project assignment required a sketch that incorporated culture and experimentation. From this sketch, I drew from sampling culture as a basis for creating the sketch's foundation and shaping a unique narrative which I did so by repurposing my own vocals from past unreleased projects, ambient soundscapes, and punchy drum and skit samples from some of my favorite artists (sampled in this sketch are Feel by Jacob Colier and Lianne La Havas, and Rafaels prayer by Sault).

For experimentation, my process of composition was guided by the approach of "a piacere" which is an Italian musical phrase meaning “to your pleasure/at will.” - a philosophy on musical expression where some aspects of a song – such as tempo or dynamics do not need the performer to follow the rhythm strictly. With this approach, in class, we were challenged to create a sketch without a metronome. To work around this limitation I began the track with a sample of a simple yet strong drum loop which I used to hold count and establish a starting pulse for the sketch.

Take The Moment

Take The Moment - Kalemela

| a quick creation |

get out the streets!

lyrics
le belle of the ball
soaking sick of it all
blood, sweat and tears dried out
once time had cleaned the years
I heard not all of it was real
her scars hadn't fully healed 
her mind needn't appeal 
the heart was handling the deal
briefcase in one hand 
ak in the other
she was standing on her business, man
she was dealing with the lover, that
got her all befuddled 
she's clearing out the rubble
she's never falling under 
fire in the name of love
fire in the grill, we up
fire in this kitchen cause
we're cooking, yeah we're looking at 
fixing up a plate
i don't deserve to wait
for folks to elevate
Nah man, I ain't no david blaine
be sure i won't endure the pain
no, not of sitting on the stake 
doja did not just say my name, no
didn't yonce already say
to put your hands up,if you're gang 
that's it, my guy im out the game

sample: Fleur Tropicale - Francis Bebey
