Day 5: Mads

 For the final day of the first week in Music Production and DJ’ing, we focused a lot on exploring different music genres. While producing music, it's typical to stick to a style that you’re familiar with, but this was a good exercise in getting out of our comfort zone and also just learning about new music genres!


First thing in the morning, however, we got to listen to Owen give a presentation on his selected producer of the day, Wayne Connolly, and explained his history in the music industry and the popular bands he produced for.


Our activity today was we were given a little bit of time to think of or research different genres, and then you’d be given two sheets of paper to write two selected genres, fold them up, and place them in a bucket to be picked at random by someone else. Everyone was hard at work researching their topics, and after a 10-minute break at around 11, everyone took turns giving brief explanations of their topics, with characteristics such as Tempo, Rhythm, Tonality, Melody, etc… Afterwards, we spent the rest of the day working to create a song of that genre, where a few people presented what they had. And that concludes the first week of Music Production and DJing!
