Reflection


Reflection:

We had a task to make our own unique version of Moby's why does my heart feel so bad, I was on the drum, Miray was on the xylophone, Arshia on the hand drum, Shubo and Almira were on the keyboard. Miray was doing vocals as well. We all worked is sync to complete this piece of music, the most difficult part was on my part to not make the drums not overpower the other instruments. The end result was actually very good as all the instruments were sounding in time and gave of correct sounds. 
.
The vocals in our group could have improved as it was sort of hard to hear over the major instruments, But in our final version it all pulled through. We added a different instrument that would be uncommon otherwise was the hand drum. This i believed added a certain cultural twist in our music as it became more culturally connected to Dubai and UAE in general.

It took us a bit of time to record it perfectly and make everyone join in on time, we didnt start playing the instruments all at once, we gradually introduced them into the music, first being the piano then the xylophone then the drums, we usually had a gap of 4-6 bars between each instrument.

All in all i think our group did very good work and it sounded very well put together.

  1. A good performance on the whole. You make some good observations Zain. I do feel you could comment more on what went well with the how & why. I also think you have enough musical ability to be able to comment on what should be improved & how it could be approached. Otherwise, well done.
