About the Project

For this project, you will create either a single song/podcast/audio collage, an EP (3 or 4 songs), or a full album! The music/audio will incorporate different sound sources, and we will even make album artwork to go along with them.

Requirements

• Please title your song(s), and if you make one, your EP/album (for example, don't use the name "Untitled Song 2")

• Please include at least one digital track you made (examples: synthesizer, beats)

• Please include your voice in some way (examples: singing, humming, speaking, "weird" noises)

• Please include at least one soundscape recording in some way

• Your song/project must be at least 3 minutes long

• If you are making a podcast, it must be focused on music and/or ecology. Good example topics might be talking about liter in our city, or how the sounds of Horseneck Beach makes you feel/think.

• Please add Mr. Quigley as a "collaborator" (account: viveirosmusic or email: nquigley@fallriverschools.org)

• Due date: Friday, May 28, 2021. Our last couple of weeks of school in June will be dedicated to listening, sharing our projects online, making "album artwork," and potentially even making music videos!

Limitations

• Absolutely no collaborators except Mr. Quigley

• Your song/project must not be longer than 10 minutes

• You may create more than one song/project, but they must not add up to be more than 15 minutes together

  • • • Your project can have multiple formats, so for example, if you wanted to make one song and one podcast, that would be totally fine.
