MUSIC CREATION AND RECORDING STOP THE BULLYING COURSE
About Lesson

This lesson explores how music can be used in alternative settings than just sound recordings. Students learn about how to create music for clients. The example used is how music from the Chronicles of The Electromagnetic Field General. The Carnegie Mellon Sessions was used to create 2 different songs for the IFA conference in 2017. One video is a figurative song that matches the spirit of what is communicated in the video. The second video shows a literal composition that matches the text of the video. Both of these songs were played with the video at the opening press conferences. The IFA is one of the largest consumer electronic conferences in the World. It is the largest in Europe with over a quarter-million attendees. We also show how we used hip-hop production methods to add more texture and be creative in adding more informative details to the composition. The songs used were TV Screens and Magazines in the first video and Empty State in the second promo video. Students learn how to create their own commercials for their own mock products using music they created. Da Great Deity Dah wrote the promos based on the text provided about the opening press conference. Students can also be provided a technical press release from a local company and write their own commercials based on music created in the class.
