• OFFICE HOURS: Listened to and critiqued songs by Josephone and Wes.
• OFFICE HOURS: We discussed the song she is working on, which is in progress- drum arrangement, sounds, parts of the drum kit and how to keep the rhythm and talk to the drummer she is working with about playing a similar part, but on a different part of the kit, possibly with brushes.
• OFFICE HOURS: Classical music, instrumental music forms, and exploration of writing music that is longer form, without vocals.
• INSTRUMENT-GYM: Fingerdrumming techniques- layering vs playing patterns in one pass, different layouts, techniques for double and single hits
• OFFICE HOURS: We went over Alee's cover of Material Girl and talked about ways to support our choices in our production. For everything that you do, there has to be at least one thing supporting it. She added some harmonies in the beginning that were great but changed the chord that she was playing over. So we talked about ways to make the harmonies work a little better with revoicing.
• INSTRUMENT-GYM: Guitar arpeggios- Major and minor 7ths with hammer on-pull off extensions, fingerpicking techniques, finding diatonic arpeggios in various positions for C major
• OFFICE HOURS: We talked about different DAW workflows, and talked about Reason, but also how workflows could shake up our creativity. We talked about Alex's new piano, and where to put it once he had moved, and we also discussed pre-pared piano possibilities.
• PRODUCTION-GYM: "Emergence" by Sleep Token.
• OFFICE HOURS: We discussed Tucker's latest song, and if he needed to add more. Alee shared an early version of a song she's working on and we talked about layering up the vocals, and creative directions and influences she might draw on.
