Forum wk12

And then the magic happens! This week took a whole new turn and I was really quite happy with the outcome. I think that the success (in my opinion) can be summed up quite simply. There were the use of real instruments and greater attention was placed on harmony and melody. Sonic texture and timbre still played an important role but there was freedom it it to achieve pleasing sound. Ben was awesome on his instrument and for a great part of it played a lead role, holding the group together. Matt's use of the grand piano also worked well in the same way, giving something for people to follow and add too.

I was only upset at the fact that my instrument didn't have as much volume as I would have liked and I was quite bored with what it is able to achieve, I want more options. I'm thinking for the concert I might bring my Marshall amp to add volume and more area's for control as it has reverb and built in distortion.

Heres some videos I have acquired from John Delaney's blog (as with the pics for the last few forum posts of mine.)
