Remix Assignment
Some changes that I made with my remixed song is that I changed the pitch for one of my split regions, which that is another change, so that already pitched song can sound like the actual artist's voice. Another change made is the volume of one my tracks, making one louder( the beginning) than the other. I added 2 tracks, one is a clean jazz piano and the other is bone bass piano. And lastly, I added loops of a teleported bass.

This is the "Our awesome song", made by Ivan, Joshua and I. Some things that we did was include Synths and Beat "BLOOM", our mostly used measures. We have mixed a lot of instruments into this project, and we took out time looping, making sure the beats made sense, and we used some voices, which I think was kinda unique. I think we are really proud of what we have accomplished.
DOK: Interpreting Intent
In the music video and sheet, I have found out that this music consists of a lot of changes, in every different measure, there is something different. One thing that I found was that the dynamic of the song, is always changing. In the beginning, the bridge and chorus, begin to be very calm and soft, but later on after that, the verse is hard and the tone of the song is low, and almost dark. Tempo of the music was another factor that made this song different. In certain parts, almost every verse, it was slow. And it was always making pauses for what was said, but in other parts like the chorus, it was faster and the dynamic of it was loud. Childish Gambino had always tried balancing his voice with the background music, because the background always changed, it was always different. Different chorus, choir had different parts, somethings overlapped, and there was a lot of diversity that made the song different and have these different beats and rhythms. Rhythm was always making the song be one thing or another, and the key was in F Major and D minor.

For my final composition, I used Intro(from 1-9), Verse(9-17), Chorus(17-33), Bridge(35-53) and Outro( 53-75). Some changes that I made towards my piece is that I changed the key for the whole song to Bm, and I have changed the Guitar from Em into Dbm. For my Dynamics, in both my drums and piano, I changed the volume from 35 through 51. It just gets very loud at some points and lowers to the least paid attention. The tempo of the song is kinda slow, due to me leaving it the same because I thought the change in that would not be good with the song so I left it and it sounds okay. It sounds very slow due to some tracks. Some tracks have the same rhythm and stay with that consistency, for example the intro and outro included have the same track. My intention for the song overall was inspired by various artists like Vance Joy, and to add some pop to the music to give it some "life" and excitement.This happens around measure 35 and on. That is why there is a break withing some parts of the song, so you will know when it transitions.It was hard to do that because I restarted my song multiple times because it wouldn't come out that way and I am still not satisfied with it, but it is better than the other deleted drafts.
