MJ mix 1

  The two tracks I have decided to create have been based on the artist Michael Jackson and his album bad.  Although the two tracks have been based on the same thing and same person they are spectacularly different if I do say so myself.

 The first of the two was an up beat trap/R&B instrumental which included A wide variety of instruments being the steinway piano with reverb, some synths and some personal creations.  When doing my research on Michael Jackson and his album bad I stumbled across a Bangel being 'Thriller' This song can also relate to mine  because of the atmosphere is set by Michael Jackson. He made one song plus a music video literally scared the life out of me and although it wasn't on the album I still have the urge  to create something similar.

To achieve this I had to go on YouTube and find some samples not being instruments  But being sound affects such as a siren at the beginning which was then 10 down and silently played throughout the song to add something I need the surface as well as the reload of a gun because it sounded cold in my opinion!

The notes that I played at the beginning of the song I'm throughout on the Steinway piano didn't accend or decend in any particular Pattern but using my knowledge of semitones on tine but using my knowledge of semitones on tones I was able to make it sound similar to a lea I was able to make it sound similar to some songs.

 Also the beats Matar used was created in Ultrabeat and was put in a particular order which was similar to the song you rock my world,  it's included a snare drum, a kick drum and a high hat hat and As the song progressed  clap was introduced to the mix similar to most Michael Jackson songs

Studying Michael Jackson made me notice how music has changed over the years  and creating something which could replicate it, well I found it difficult because with every beat And  bass I put down I always felt the need to make it as much in as possible
