After a very brief introduction, we were left to develop our original compositions either in the TC-104 Computer Rooms then in a Practice Room or vice versa. We spent the first half on the computer. Emrys played around with some ideas for rhythms on logic whilst both me & Duncan worked on our blog posts.
Once the first half of this session was finished we moved to the Practice room and began further writing on our song. From our last session, was had an A section, B section & a very rough idea for a C section. After jamming through some ideas, I suggested a slight change in tone to sustained chords and Duncan taking over on Lead Guitar whilst I focus on more chord based playing. The section I introduced had a more sombre, melancholic feel to it which contrasted nicely with the very bright, up beat indie groove of the B section. I also suggested I take on lead vocals for a bit of variety and dynamics.
At the end of this session we played what we had so far to the rest of our peers and gained feedback & constructive criticism. What we received was very positive and was told the sound we were working with was very unique. My nerves were still present and I still struggle with my stage presence but I am seeing slight improvements from last time even after months out of practice.
