Riley Shaper Music 220C Project

Week 1 Deciding on a project

For my project in this class, I want to make three pieces exploring three different styles of music to help find the kind of music I want to make. I want to start by collecting sounds, songs, and inspirations for each piece to be more intention about the sound and style, and then write and create a song.

In addition, I’m hoping to become more proficient using my DAW and recording live.

Week 2 Planning and writing

I was hoping to begin recording this week, but ran into trouble when the battery of my guitar died. I spent this week focusing on finding inspiration from other musicians and beginning writing.

Week 3 Reorient with ableton, get guitar and recording equipment ready, and writing

I found a new battery for my guitar, and was able to record a sloppy first take at what I wrote last week. Melodically the entire song is now written and a first take has been recorded. Over the next few days, I'm hoping to get some cleaner takes and start focusing on the production and other elements.
