2.1 Mini Project: Garageband Loops
Due: Friday (1/24)
Embedded Files
Using the loops feature on garageband, you will create a "ringtone".Â
Requirements:
It must be 8-16 measures long.
There are at least 3 different instrument loops used.
Must contain a bass groove.
There is use of a fade in/out feature.
Using the google form, look at the embedded pieces of artwork. #1- Describe some of the components of the art that stick out to you. #2- Describe what elements of music you would use if you were composing a piece of music to fit that art. Components of music include: Tempo (Speed), Various Dynamics (Volume), Color/Orchestration (Which instruments would you use?), Tone (Types of sounds- warm, harsh, metallic, wood, etc.), Timbre and Texture (How many instruments would you use and in what ways would you use them?) #3- Briefly describe a short story board (What kind of story do you think this artwork tells?)

Music Technology Art Composition Project
There are many similarities between compositional techniques across the humanities spectrum. This project will allow us to explore comopotional mediums that link visual art and auditory art, drawing and music. This project will consist of multiple parts. The first of which being an introduction to musical composition tools. In regards to our class, the compositional tools that are relevant consist of a pluricentric mix of the following: form, layering/instrumentation, chords, progressions, scales, ostinatos and rhythm. These are the primary tools we will be using to mimic through soundscape our chosen visual artworks. The second step to this project is an exploration of the fusion that may exist between visual and auditory compositional tools. We will elaborate on our understanding of these tools as they pertain to themselves in context of your chosen piece of art and, as an extension, as they relate to each other. Finally, we will begin the composition process. Due to the depth of this project we will benefit from an extended window of time to complete our work. At the conclusion of this project our work may be transcribed into the visual art medium using the perceived compositional tools our pieces convey to the listener.
The requirements of this project are as follows, checkboxes have been provided for you to utilize at your discretion:
Completion of the art composition analysis form ( 50 points)
