Hail

in this post i am going to be talking about a chat that we had today from Dean, founder of VNV sounds.

VNV sounds are company that initially started as DJ company, then moved onto more different events like receptions,inaugurations, promotions,weddings etc.

Dean used to DJ for parties and small events around when he realised that he was spending a lot in hiring equipment,then he decided to buy his own. From then he moved into making his business bigger by not just focusing in music performance but adding lighting design jobs and receptions.

At this point he had quiet a few clients,he has worked with Nandos, Emirates stadium's finance department, also private jobs like weddings, Xmas parties , and decoration.


what i learnt from this was that building contacts is very important for a fast development of my business and that also is very important to have a plan for a future, because time travels fast.

On top of that we also spoke about what is happening next week,we are doing an exercise/assignment that involves  everyone in the groups ( in mine i have: Connor,Samuel,Eloise,Elliot)to bring a song on an mp3 format.we will upload tracks into Logic pro and the mash them together with 30 per track.

for this we are going to k226 then on logic we will use the MIDI keyboards to compose a song

thanks for reading .

SOUND

today at technical theatre we talked about sound
we saw some videos showed by employees of the National theatre

this videos showed us how the sound works at a play or show.all the microphones and other things that are back stage and FOH to make the sound of things more realistic  and more controllable  like for instance in this play there in a mobile phone that goes off in the top left of the actor's jacket, for this they placed an speaker just inside the pocket.

Also we saw a video about Foley sounds, which are the special effects recorded to make a situation more realistic, like recording footsteps to make enfasis that the person is walking and to avoid any other sort if background noise.

then we listened to various songs, each one had a different style, the exercise consisted in describing what feelings the song gave us, for example if it would make you happy or sad, excited or calm, also describing a scene where this could be fitted.

i contributed to the lesson by talking how "circus fun fare" made me feel.
i thought it was a very happy song , made me feel restless, but at the same time i could place it on  a horror scene.
