Genius Hour 2.4

Producing Music-Week Four

Genius hour four was the biggest struggle yet.  My plans for this week were to finish my first project, as well as copy a song from YouTube to continue to get a feel for what I can create later on.  After being unable to complete what I needed to on Thursday, I was forced to do some work over that weekend.  On Saturday, things took a turn for the worst.  I went to finish up my first project when disaster struck.  I had lost all components except two from the project.  I got super frustrated when I struggled to recreate all my working pieces.  After a busy Saturday, I finally got my first project done!

I am choosing to not release my final product until the end of this genius hour, so I have more to show when presenting.

This picture shows me putting the finishing touches on my first project.

This picture showcases most of the components.

When Sunday came I knew it was going to be tough for me to work on my second project, especially with it being Super Bowl Sunday.  I decided the only way I would finish my second project would be to work on it in chunks of time leading up to the Super Bowl because I really did not want to do homework.  I finished my piece about 45 minutes before the game started, so it was perfect timing.  This is what I was able to come up with:

The song I chose to recreate was "Noticed" by Lil Mosey.  I chose this song because it has a very good melody and it was fun to play.  I am having to change my plans for next week because I have a National Guard drill in Helena, so I won't have a ton of time to work on homework.  That being said, my plans for next week are to start my next song from scratch, and the following week I should be able to finish the project.  Although this week was a tough one, I was able to work through it and get everything done!
