Reflection: the Sound cloud

Task: reflect on the sound cloud you will hear - how can you create a sound cloud with your piece?

First piece of song:
Starting sounds like suspense music it is slowly growing, it starts of slow and is slowly producing a much louder sound. There seems to be a mixture of more than one piece of music playing, it sounds louder each time and you feel like you are living that action. It follows a dark theme you can tell by the horrid laughter sounds, and sudden movements, you could hear chants that got louder from whispers to shouting voices, it also sounded like fire is burning and you can feel the fire growing/building up bigger an bigger. At one point you can hear a sudden stop and then continuing with a slow pace that soon grows as much as the last one although this time the music consists of different voices and the music turns intense, and then there is a sudden STOP. End of the music piece.

Second piece of song: 
this song seems to follow a different pattern then the older song, the starting seems to be quite, dull and high pitched. more music sounds appear you can make out that there are two toy boxes being played at the same time, after the music is continuos to this it then starts to show a bit of build up in the song, you can hear a woman whispering, soon her whispers grow louder, you can also hear some of the toy boxes from before in the background. This abstract piece of music tells a story, you feel a little scared. It feels like someone is doomed. You feel like there is a storm coming.

Edited staff

I have changed how my prime order fits on the music staff because my older one was hard to record, although next time I will try to do a more challenging notes on the staff.

Prime order on Staff - 32 beats

I have decided to do the first 16 beats as the original prime order and the other 16 beats are going to be retrograde which is one of the 4 main transformations that can be applied to the prime order, retrograde means reversed notes.This is the only time a note can be repeated (once).

Prime order on a staff

Today in class we all looked at a game that helped us develop some skills that are required in serialism and prime order. After the prime order has been decided now you need to place your notes on a staff. We were given an option to either draw notes on the staff or use alphabets. Since most of us were struggling to place proper notes on the staff we played a game where we learnt what note is placed where on the staff and in which order it is placed in. The game first explained the notes that are found in the spaces of the staff. These notes are F.A.C.E, we realised that this spells "Face" making it much easier to remember. We played a few rounds until most of us were confident and we understood these notes on the staff well. Then later on we learnt the notes on the line which had the letters E.G.B.D.F, although this does not sound like any word. So we made each letter stand for something in order to remember the order of the lines on the staff. I chose this for my line staff notes Every Good Boy Deserves Football, although there can be many more abbreviations, depending on whatever you found the easiest to remember.

This picture below shows the letters that fit in the lines and spaces of the staff:
