Group Laptop Pieces

Today everyone performed their laptop musicianship pieces, a lot of positive things came from these.

Group 1) They took the time to listen to eachothers parts and used silence to emphasis the sounds they used. They used similar sounds to acompany eachothers and used nice textural sounds to fill the piece.

Group 2) This was my group, i was worried that piece wouldn’t gel together to make a successful piece but everything seemed to go to plan. I think we need to use more silence to unclutter our piece and use more interesting sounds.

Group 3) This group was similar to ours because theirs was a process piece that added sound upon sound to build up and eventually fade out. Great use of textural sounds and the improvisation went well.

Group 4) This group incorporated a beat into their piece which was a platform for them to work around, in parts it got to cluttered, maybe more use of silence like my group should have.

Group 5) This group also used a beat in their track but made use of tempo change to keep the listener on their toes, some parts were a bit random and stuck out too much, but i also enjoyed this piece.

Overall was a very enjoyable lesson, to take part and listen to these pieces. My group will take the positive points from everyones pieces and incorporate these into our track.
