EXP Proposal

EXP Proposal 

My Aim - To arrange a medley of 5 Snarky Puppy songs which will be performed at the end of year gig. 

For my project, I will be putting together a medley of 5 Snarky Puppy songs. I will be exploring how modern technology affects arrangements. My aim is to successfully arrange these songs and perform it live in the final performance. 

 I have chosen to focus on this area because I feel like this will be able to extend my knowledge in arrangement and in transcription skills. I picked arrangement because I was Interested in the way songs were structured. I have got my interest from steel pans and from band rehearsals. 
I feel that this is relevant because when working in a band and covering songs you need to have some skills in arrangement to make these songs different and individual to the groups sound. I also think that needing transcription skills is relevant because it will become helpful when needing to know what is being played.

- Areas of research 

My areas of research are how modern technology affects arrangement and transcription skills. I would find this research from doing practical research such as band practices or individual practices and also online and in books.

- Methodology 

My overall aim is to perform my arrangement. I will do this by either;

Do pre production on Logic - transcribe and arrange first then learn from the logic file I would of given the musicians beforehand.

Live arrangement - transcribe everything first on logic then to do a live arrangements during practices so this would mean that I would give the players the music beforehand and make the arrangement as I go along

Create a sound world with instruments - i would create the exact sound on each individual instrument that I would want to use then learn the songs by ear during practices
