We presented our Band Presentation on Microsoft teams alongside the other bands in class. It was not only good to almost read back to ourselves who & what we are but interesting to see what everyone else was aiming for & doing. We also put together a Spotify playlist of our influences for this project to refer back to during our writing and development
This helped as I also felt more confident in what we were doing and ready to start writing our pieces. The following weekend we booked a practice room to spitball some ideas and create a backbone for our Original Composition. Following the the rainfall idea discussed in my last blog post, I began by using mostly single plucked notes going down in scale to represent the fall of rain, but as Duncan was doing something similar with his guitar sections, I decided to open my sections up more to represent the size & space of being outside as well as using reverb with a long tail as a texture to sonically represent the aesthetic of rainfall at night.
