Reflection

Over this trimester we focused on linear and non linear composition. Until this trimester I really didn't have much of an idea of both of these styles of composing and hadn't really had much experience with composing in these styles. With my music I am mostly focused on live performance and writing mad dub beats however writing in this style has been something I have enjoyed a lot!. Writing for linear narrative such as theme songs for film and tv or scoring feature film compositions to help tell a specific narrative is something I see can see myself really getting involved with in the future, it's fun. To begin this trimester I felt like I really stepped a lot more out of my comfort zone than normal. Take the viking composition for example, that whole style of composing was new to me such as the vocal recording and trying to get away from synthesis to be more authentic to the nordic viking style theme. Non-linear composing was really new to me this trimester. Before this tri I had never really composed anything to be specifically non linear and learning how to create generative patches that can be manipulated live was really exciting. I love dance music and dance beats but this trimester has highlighted to me that music isn't just that, in fact there are many different avenues for a music producer. I would love to one day work on musical installations, music art. It's great to have gone through this trimester and learn more about what we can create and how else we can use the tools we have at hand. Overall this trimester gets and HD (High Distinction) from me.
