I plan on making an EP with just instrumental beats using the technique and practices from the Drake’s OVO Sound producers Noah ’40’ Shebib, Boi-1da & T-minus. Each track would use technique that the producers do and would be obviously inspired by a song that had already been made as it will be a homage to the producer’s specific techniques and the workflow.
This week’s guest lecture was given by Lol Hammond who is a music supervisor for Vertigo Films, a music composer and occasionally works as a free-lance music supervisor.
He spoke with us about his IMDB profile and about each of the movies and how he approached them for a while and it was kind of intriguing to see how Lol took different approach with each movie he had done and tailored that to the genres of the films. He spoke about how he prefers to contact artists to work on the soundtracks for films opposed to using more conventional orchestration.
He gave interesting advices while speaking, one of the things he said was that the more producers, the more engineers & etc… the more problems that will occur and that it’s always good to have a wide knowledge of music and to immerse yourself in as much music as possible to avoid boxing yourself in if you want to become a music supervisor
As a whole this lecture did intrigue me as it’s a role that I never thought about and being a person that is into music and film, I believe music plays a great part in a film as it can provoke emotions if done correctly.
This week’s guest lecture was given by Luke Pickering, Luke is an alumni from the University Of Lincoln and Luke was there in my first year and taught me in my first semester of university, but Luke came today as the studio assistant at the church studios in London and assistant engineer to Paul Epworth who co-wrote and produced Skyfall with Adele.
Luke began by talking about his job at Church Studios and how it got started, Before Luke was working with church studios he said he was struggling to find relevant work and did a lot of little things to keep him busy this included free lance work and being a lecturer at the University. However on his first month with the studio, he didn’t get hands on with much of the stuff in the studio and instead was doing very boring and mundane jobs like making drinks for other people, cleaning the studio, clearing out the bins and so on.
Luke said we do anything and everything we can and take any opportunity if one should present itself. and really stressed the importance of being persistent when trying to land a job.
For my first tutorial myself and Lee sat down to discuss some potential ideas I have for my audio project one. I suggested that I make another EP with more tracks than the last EP I had worked on however Lee said that it wouldn’t be enough content to allow the substantial amount of academic research required for this project. My EP was meant to be influenced by british urban music scene like, Grime, Hip hop, R&b, Dancehall, Afrobeats (Afro-swing) and using all their techniques. Lee told me to make a spotify playlist with about 15 – 20 songs that inspire me to make music and research who the producers are and find the common producer and then research on what practices and techniques that use when recording them tracks.
