Some general assumptions people make about music production is that it can only be done within a studio and its extremely complicated, when in all reality it can be done from a laptop and it’s probably the simplest way of making music when it’s over a laptop it’s the studio that can get fairly complicated, if you’re not used to it or have no practice.

                                    The article I was reading hit some very good points that I think most people don’t really think about. They mentioned in one of the articles I chose that “When it comes to music they fail to recognize the creative power of consumer preferences on which songs survive.” That for me is one of the most realist thing I’ve read about music. People don’t give enough credit to producers, ghostwriters, executives none of that its always on the performing artist and most of the time that performing artist has nothing to do with any of the making of the music. People truly take songs and hits for granted when you really get to thinking about it. Now a days it, you listen to a song or album for maybe a week or even a couple months, after that its thrown out and you rarely go back to listen to it after that, at least that’s what I’ve observed about people who listen to music. People are going to make the assumption that I can’t produce or that I can but it won’t sound as professional.

                                    I’ve done a bit of research but I’ve been doing a lot more examination on people and how they choose to enjoy their music. I think good music is taken for granted a lot. There is still a such thing as good music in 2017 its just the fact that it’s hard to find because for one there’s a whole community of sound cloud/YouTube rappers who are famous and make about the same amount of money as an artist that industry they just don’t promote themselves and would prefer doing music without a label.

People are going to make the assumptions that either I can’t produce or that I can but it will sound terrible because of how “Young” or “Unexperienced” but I already got plans to debunk both of those common assumptions.

There is still a such thing as good music in 2017 it’s just the fact that it’s hard to find because for one there’s a whole community of artist on YouTube, sound cloud who are famous and getting the same amount of money as the industry artist they just simply don’t promote themselves like how industry artist do so a good majority of people who don’t take music as serious never even know they exist. To me, industry artist are watered down and everything sounds the same.

For my 20 time project I’ve been stuck between 2 ideas but I know for a fact I got a certain idea as a whole. It’s all going to be based around music and music production or the way it’s been made & the history of that.

                        My first idea is to teach people about music production and what exactly all of what it takes to make a modern day trap/hiphop beat. I plan on either bringing in my laptop and equipment or taking screenshots of what I do digitally and putting it in a power point. From there im actually going to work my way backwards and finish off by teaching how music is all digital in this day of age when in the past everything required a physical touch or required you to actually do something physically, not computerized.

                        My second idea is to make a beat for Tre for him to rap on and have him rap about the history of all of this. We’ll have a PowerPoint and we’ll most likely record him performing instead of having him actually do it because that would make the presentation long. There’s still a lot ideas being thrown around and ideas being changed.

Please post asap and include your name. I don't know who this is!
