Layers Here’s an overview of the Ableton project- Plug-ins Writing The melody and half of theContinue reading “Tech Project #3 Second Single!”

This part is an extension of Ethan Hein’s challenge. I’m actually quite happy with how the remix turned out given that it was my first attempt! Say Amen did very well on the charts, mainly because it sounds super poppy. When I attened the Sydney leg of the Pray for the Wicked Tour, the audienceContinue reading “Tech Project #2 Remix”

I thought I should start with something simple, so I dug up an incomplete project from a year ago. I was trying to make my own version of World of Chances by Demi Lovato but didn’t have the skill to finish it. Since I’ve saved so much time during lockdown, it was the perfect timingContinue reading “Tech Project #1-Remaking a Song”

Monday-Ethan Hein Guest Lecture Ethan Hein from New York introduced us to Groove Pizza, a step sequencer for education which we experimented with at the beginning of the semester, and aQWERTYon, another programme by musedlab for modes, chord progressions etc. I personally enjoyed playing with the latter more. He brought up whether these resources hasContinue reading “Week 13”

I like theContinue reading “Week 11”

Monday-BYOD BYOD, ‘Bring Your Own Device’ programme allows students to bring their own electronic devices to school. It’s become more popular in high schools. In my days, personal electronic devices were pretty much banned on school ground so unfortunately I don’t have any experience with it. But my brother (16)’s been to both a 1-to-1Continue reading “Week 9”

Monday-Gamification and DGBL My mum called before the class started asking what I was going to learn. “Learning through games”, I replied. “Oh! Gamification is it?” Whatttt??? I could not believe she knew what it was. It turned out to be a big thing in human resources (her job) BECAUSE apparently young people these daysContinue reading “Week 8”

Monday On Monday, we had a zoom meeting with Peter Chan, founder of Auralia, the software for aural tests. It was really cool that he gave us free access and went through the basics with us. So basically you could come up with questions there and it makes marking homework wayy easier. One of myContinue reading “Week 7”
