Make a recording of a piece of music of your own choice in a style relating to Area of Study 2: Popular Music Styles since 1910.
You must record a piece of music that has been made available for general release, or an accepted rock, pop or jazz standard. It must not be an original student composition.
Stimulus material may be arranged to suit the availability of resources but the
arrangement will not be assessed. The resources chosen must be enough to create a viable and recognisable arrangement.
Your recording should:
- last between 2 and 4 minutes
- use a minimum of 8 tracks
- have a minimum of 4 tracks captured using microphones
- make use of overdub techniques
- use only live musicians, and contain no MIDI sequenced performances, looped audio or samples
- be a noise-free stereo production, with use of appropriate effects and processing.
You must be in sole charge of the recording process from capture of audio to mixdown.
Sharing of audio files between candidates is not permitted.
You should submit your completed recording as track 2 on your Music Technology Portfolio 1 CD.
