Digital Audio Workstations

Thanks to the expertise of volunteer Michael, we have been looking into working digitally with music. Michael has shared with students some of his own projects using  Ableton Live and helped us get started on projects of our own. Using soundation.com Kauri team are composing pieces of music using layers of samples. There's lots of musical talk going on about tempo (how fast?), form, timbre (what type of sound?). This is a great start- I wonder where this digital adventure will lead us? 

Challenge to Kauri Team

Where and how can you use and share the music tracks you are making? 

It would be great to see your original music used in your blogs,videos etc.

Marimba Group

Last Wednesday, in between the showers, we moved a couple of marimbas outside at lunchtime. We had figured out that we could play a piece called Mbira Jam with lots of people on each marimba. Sharing the notes was tricky at first, but lots of fun once we got the hang of it.
