Prior to this meeting I had established that I wanted to ask about how I can go about the research process for this module, as I wanted to take a more ‘outside’ approach (objective) when critically analysing my written work. This being an ongoing development within how I tackle my own work – not being able to recognise my flaws, as this isn’t an issue, but more so what steps I can take to improve these flaws so that I am able to articulate my thoughts, feelings and situations better.

We started the meeting by discussing the practical progression of the project since the prior week. In terms of finishing off our rough drum recordings (discussed in Sessions with Pete #2), we are set to complete the rest of them during our third session together (15/03/17, we didn’t have enough time during our second session, 1/03/17), so I was unable to provide anymore physical items than the week prior.

We agreed that during the time of this meeting and the time of recording the drums properly (2/04/17), I could practice the production techniques I had researched, meaning that when it comes to implementing said mentioned techniques I am aware of how they work with relation to the various musical elements within my songs. Though I would not be practicing on the final product, it would at least allow me to recognise how these techniques work and how I can implement them into the final product.

Alongside this, I had also learned that opposed to keeping organisation notes, practice notes, recording notes and progression notes to myself, these are elements I can incorporate into my blog, which would allow external parties to understand the process of how we are progressing throughout the project. Thus, from this point onward I will be ensuring all prior and future developments as prior mentioned are uploaded onto the blog.
