Core I Part II

With no solid career plan in mind, I am certain only of one thing: my profound passion for making music. To make music is to produce music, and the process of production virtually involves two things: writing and recording. I have no doubts that I will continue to focus on this and improve my abilities in this field for the rest of my life. After writing a song, recording it can mean a number of things. I can go the route of "recording raw" and simply record it with a straightforward music recording device such as a 4-track, but in this day and age with the technologies that are accessible I might be more apt to use something called "sequencer software."

I am not yet familiar with this software, but I have strong intentions to become so because of the obvious way it has changed the production of music. These programs will allow me to record audio musical sequences and then organize them over a time-line in any fashion of my choosing. Sequences can be duplicated, edited, manipulated and processed using a bouquet of audio effects. There is a whole new realm of musical capabilities with this software acting as a tool for the musician, or rather an extension of an already existing tool, the musician's instrument. I am truly excited and earnestly motivated to become well-versed in this software for it seems to be the key to the unlocking of a vast musical frontier.

  1. You do still need to post the audience awareness assignment though.
