Music – Chemistry in the Kitchen

This is a video guide to creating your own live loops on Garage Band, made by TheGarageBandGuide.

In maker we have been toying with garage band and the loops that accompany it. We were tasked with the assignment to create our own loop. We started this assignment by triggering loops. By this I mean we created our own song using loops and “triggered” multiple instruments to create different noises and sounds. The second step was to record the loop and share it with the world. And the last step was to create our own loop and record it and create this blog post explaining it! So without further to do this is my loop.

I created my loop using Chinese traditional, and added different attachments on to it. The loop Chinese traditional is a very upbeat loop already so I just chose to add a few more “popish” loops to the track. It ended up sounding more like dub smash if it was a traditional Chinese version.
I learned a whole bunch from this project about garage band. I had barley even touched garage band before this, and now I know so much more about the different pieces and items that they have created. Did you know that you can DJ? And you can reverse certain tracks. It such a cool app and I am excited to see the progress I can make in it!

For week 5 for the Edublog Challenge the task that I chose to conquer is music.

I would love to share the music that I listen to everyday with the audience. I will be sharing a playlist that I have been listening to for a bit now. The play list is called Killer and it includes songs from Kali Uchis, Brockhampton, and Duckwrth.

Kali Uchis

Kali Uchis’s song Killer is one of my favorites of hers. She describes her heartbreak and sadness through a very mellow feel. I also read that in this song she struggled with a bunch of emotion and past history, and for her to get over it and to create a song that addresses these facts in such a positive way shows that she has strong mindset and that she is such a strong figure.

Brockhampton

Brockhampton addresses everything you’ve ever felt, whether positive or negative. Brockhampton is a “boy band” and they claim to be the best boy band since One Direction. Brockhampton was created quite recently in 2015. In the past year they have gone from a few fans to almost everyone knowing who they are. The song that really touches me from their most recent album Iridescence, is called Tonya.

Duckwrth

Duckwrth is a musical artist and his art is very real. He uses lots of different backround effects to enhance his pieces and it can really speak to the listener. His songs are all very different and my favorite song of his called Indica La Roux. I feel myself merging with this song. I feel the reason I like this song so much is because it really makes you feel nothing around you but the song. I also perceive it as very calming.

These songs make me feel happy and comfortable, I don’t completely know what it is about them. I am also a huge fan of the artists them selves. Kali Uchis has had to struggle through many challenges to get where she is today, and I think it makes her a better artist. Brockhampton has had to undergo a few changes since the creation of the iteam. They seem to be closer because of this situation, and it makes them more of a family. These songs challenge me to think and act strongly, and I hope that they can do the same for you.
