First Full True Week of Genius Hour3/3/2024 Quite a bit of change for the project this week! I do want to preface this by saying that I've got quite the course load this semester (which means lots of homework every night), and don't have much time to work on the project during the week. I squeeze in time when I feel like it and when I have it, but there's not usually very much. Anyways, after re-listening to what I had written before, I liked it, but it wasn't what I wanted. This is a product of a downside I'm going to have to work with throughout the project, and that is the way that the instrument sounds are programmed to sound in flat. A person playing an instrument can make it sound all different kinds of ways, but with a program like what I'm using, there is a way that the instrument sounds for each different thing that you can do to a note, and sometimes that's not how I want it to sound. It's unfortunate, but I think it is something I can work with. Back to what I was saying, I re-listened to what I had written after putting it down for a few days, and it wasn't what I wanted, so I started over. However, this time, I took a different approach. I started off by researching a basic chord progression, putting that into flat, and seeing where it went from there, and I actually ended up altering the progression to be longer than it usually is. The plan was to see how the progression sounded, and just find ideas as they floated across my head. I listened to the chords a few times, and an idea began to generate. I had a general outline of what I wanted the idea to sound like, and started putting it into the program. I like what I came up with, but still want to refine it some. This has already been a fun project to work on and we're just barely into the first part of it!
