Music and Lyrics a FUN Movie About Songwriting and (Your Music Making) Set-Up.

 

In my recent post I wrote about Co-Writing 

(also Showed you some actual Samples of my Co-Writing in a different area than Songwriting) and, 


that Co-Writing can make the process of

Songwriting more Fun. 


In the E-Report Songwriters on Songwriting one of the writers talked about that he loves writing at his own place, with Good 


Coffee, and his own Instruments etc. 

This made me aware of 

the Importance of having a Special Place 

where you Feel Like Making Music. It reminded me of 

this FUN Movie with Huge Grand and 

Drew Barymore you see the MOVIE-Trailer here below:    


In this Movie there also is some attention to the 'Music Making Set-up', or in that case the Re-placement of the Piano. For some time I didn't really feel like playing so I also had an other look at my own 'Studio Set-up' aswell, and Re-placed some things, and I also discovered that with not turning on the 'Big Lights'the Lighting Feelslittle more Cosy,  In an effort to create a good Workspace I do think there still are Plenty of Challenges and there still is - ROOM - for Improvement....., 

I do think that this Special Sound Room 

Desgned by Lenny Kravitz

Looks like an Interesting Source of Inspiration ! 


BTW I can also 
Imagine Seeing 

Our 

in Such type of Work Spaces as well !

Lucky enough 
it isn't only Imagination

Occasionally you also Buy our Pillows even


This 
Sound Room with the Big Screen, 
the Couches 

Somewhat Reminds me of The Time When I Worked at
Big Record-/Entertainment Company, 
 
It Reminds me of 
the type of 'Hang Out' at the Wisseloort Studio's in Hilversum, 
where (Rock) Musicians could Hang Out after Playing in the Studio.

 (and Occasionally I myself after doing things like 
- As a Creative Sales Support Employee  

and Looking Through the Photo Archive from the 
Record Company in that Same Building)  


I Actually Did Discover some Photo's from the Wisseloord Studios
and from Lenny Kravitz in the Wisseloord Studio, 
see Photos here below:



The Studio's Themselves Sometimes Seem to Look Somewhat like on the Bridge of a 



from a Star-Trek MOVIE !


The Wisseloort Studios are known for their suitability for - ROCK - Music, and in Our Music Twitter-list I discovered this Tweet that Sounds like an Example of Rock Music to Me:

Pretty Good Job Playing it ! ;)

Making Music Making Use of
CHORD CHARTS, Learning Many New Things


I have been Playing for Audiences in Jam Sessions, and I Played 
in a Little Music Group for a few Years, based around experimenting with Making Music, and also actually Composing Music, only because of Corona, other activities etc. etc. 
we didn't play together for a long time,

Last Year I Started in a New Music Group, 

that's more based around 

Playing actual Cover Songs

from already well known Existing Reportoire, I was asked to Visit this Group Years ago,  

and Funny enough somehow it seems like I wasn't meant to be in this group (yet) because 

somehow I thought is was in an other location than I thought is was. For Years I somehow was under impression that it was in an other building. I tried to Visit the Music Group several times and simply looked for it at the wrong place at an inirely other location than I was under the impression it is. 

Than finially I discovered that it was at this other location. 


Practice Setup 

and Stage Setup


Last year I Played Several times already, also learning to get a little more handy at 

Learning the Basics of Folding 

a Music Stand, and just practicing making Music in this New Group, 

Practicing both in Our Practice Setup

(in a circle that makes it easier to see each other and communicate more easily) 

and Practice in Stage Setup, 

and also actually Playing for Audiences, and some time ago in November 

we actually perfomed for a bigger crowd during 'Informal Care Day'.


(we even made a recording with the Microphone at a rather High Altitude so that 

it mostly picks up the Music instead of all the noise in the Crowd) 


A CHORD Book divided in Blocks,

Makes it Easy to find your Reportoire:


For this we have a nicely compiled Chord Book with CORD CHARTS, nicely organised 

in 5 Blocks all with 6 Songs (except for Block 5 that only has 4 Songs) 

In the Video here above you can see How to Create a Professional CHORD CHART.


Music Production in 2 Minutes:
Understanding Compression



Many Years ago someone in our Family started working as a 
DJ for a Radio Station, he even had his own Home-Build Radio Studio
I remember being Impressed by such impressive looking Equipment, and
special DJ-skills, like being able to 

Announce Music, Mix Music, 
playing Jingles etc. etc. 

I also remember that when I tried to record both Music and Announcements with using 
my own Voice, it all sounded a lot different than on the special more proffesional Home-Studio Equipment he had. Also when Announcing the Music through the Microphone
the Music Automatically got less loud, and the Voice was clear to hear. 

While with my recordings, everything sounded somewhat loud and messy, and definitely 
not as clear. When I asked him about it I remember him saying something 
about using  - Compression -

Seeing the Video here above I think that it has to do with things like

 - Dynamic Range - 

Recently During one of our Music Group Gatherings, 
I also heared about Compression again, and while I already along the way 
did get somewhat of a general notion about Compression, and how it can 
Improve the Sound, I Probably also used some of such techniques before myself already now and then, just by experimenting with it. 

The Video here above gives a clear 
explanation of what Compression is about.

Don't Ignore This Compressor Setting
