Senior Thesis Product Proposal

This is my proposal for my Thesis Project:

Essential Question:

Can a musical piece and/or style be recreated yet still reflect the originality of the artist?

Medium:
Audio
Software I will Use:
FL Studios, Garageband, and Mixcraft
Final Product:
1-2 original songs created with inspiration from top producers in the Hip Hop/Rap genre.

My Creative Process:

1. Choose 1-3 songs and listen to them to gain ideas.

2. Identify the common style based on the producer(s).

3. Create an outline of the style using similar instruments in FL Studios.

4.Personalize the song with my own style and method of creating an instrumental, making it more original.

5.Mix down in FL Studios.

6.Partially Master in Mixcraft.

7.Equalize and Master in Garageband.

8. Post to Blog (in video form).

*Do Tutorial.

Random Photoshop! #1

Since I use Photoshop a lot in my spare time, I'm going to post some of the images I create! Here's one of many. This one is inspired by photographer Andrzej Dragan. In all of his images, the subject is very sharp and emphasized. This was my first attempt at the "Dragan Effect" so, it's not completely perfect!

The first picture is one of his photographs and the second is my own creation.

Enjoy!

 This is the original image:

Narrative Project!

This was a collaborative effort with narration, commentary, interview, score and all!

Enjoy.

 

My Breakbeat Project!

Radio Demo Project

In this project, I recorded my commentary on three songs, two being from A Tribe Called Quest and the other a tropical Spanish song from Quantic and his Combo Barbaro.

Since I used my blog's name in the Demo, it will be posted on Gradient Eyes Production's website!!!

Flash + Photoshop Creation!

This is just something I did in my spare time for one of my blogs!
