Week 9

Week 9 Music:

During week 9 music, we didn't learn anything new. We worked on our compositions and gave them the last touches to complete them and create the final version of it. After we were both happy with what we have done, we decided to put an end to our project by applying our final steps and editing our composition.

Week 8

Week 8 Music:

During week 8 music, I continued to work on the composition with my partner. We both played it and also changed the composition up a little. We work on it together and formed a composition that we can present to others. We combined serialism and minimalism together in our composition. Both of these types of music helped us with our composition planning. We took part of other compositions from example Schoenberg and used them as examples in our own composition.

Week 7

Week 7 Music:

During week 7 music, I had to choose a partner and create a composition with the different types of techniques and types of music we learned in the past weeks. We decided to play the composition on the piano. The composition was created by another artist and we decided to play it for our project. Having only two more weeks left, we decided to first study the composition and then play it and try it out on the next few weeks.

Week 6

Week 6 Music:

During week 6 music, We have studied the art of sound and inventing abstractions on our own. We had to choose the work of art by Kandinsky as a stimulus and then also choose the compositional techniques studied which is cipher, serialism and minimalism. We created an abstract piece of the music which represented the art work chosen. The class was mainly based on knowledge and understanding.

Week 5

Week 5 Music


In week 5 music, I have learned that serialism is a method or tecnique of composition that uses a series of values to manipulate different musical elements. I found out that serialism began primarily with Arnold Shoenberg's twelve-tone technique. During class, I looked at the compositions Arnold Schoenberg did and also watched a video about his composition. After, my task was to create my own 12-note row using the 12 individual tones. I also played the notes on the keyboard with the help of my partner that was woking with me. At last, I worked out the different rows associated with the 12 tones I have chosen.
