This is a welcoming note to anyone who is visiting this website to view some of the work on my website. I have created this website as a new way for me to show my portfolio and teaching experience with ease and to go with the new era and electronic technological advancements that are evolving. This is a very original idea and is a work in progress for me as most teachers will have a paper or folder based portfolio to show their teaching experience and work. In the future this may be the new way for teachers to apply for jobs via a website. I hope this demonstrates that I am ahead of the times at the moment. Below are some examples of my work as a student in entertainment. There are still some things that remain in paper format and these can be sent on request
Andreas Mina – The Awakening (Les Claypool)
Coldplay – God put a smile on your face
This was a second year Music Technology piece for Richard Cobden. I played bass along to this track in the studio. Jenny Deacon sung the track and I am fairly sure that Ryan Marshall filled in all the remaining tracks as he does!
This piece was a first year eight track recording for a fellow student Paal Mann. Its a brilliant guitar piece that has alot of feeling involved in the playing and it has good dynamics. Again I played bass for this track. Ryan Marshall again played the guitar and drums on the track. He also played the acoustic guitar part.
Skunk Anansie – Hedonism (Just because you feel good)
Probably one of my favourite tracks of all time. This recording was done for my final year for Music Technology. For the roll of honours on this track Leigh Ann Radbourne did the vocals very impressively. They fit so well in the track. I could not turn down the opportunity to play and record myself playing the bass for the track as it is one of my favourite bass lines. The guitars, drums and percussion again was all done by Ryan Marshall the Music Technology teacher at Harrow College. However, there is a problem with the track as it misses out the second verse.
This was my course work for my first year of A level for Music Technology where we had to create a karaoke track only using midi. We then had to get some one to sing ontop of this and i picked my cousin who im sure youll agree is fantastic!
This track is one of my favourite recordings and performances that was captured for Music Technology in the second year for me. The track is not that well commercially known. The funky bass line is so cool I could not turn down playing it for my fellow student. For the roll of performers the vocals were done by Debbie, she does a brilliant job of capturing the gospel feeling for the track. Ryan Marshall again contributes to all the remaining tracks and does a brilliant job. From the Floyd Rose accompanyment all the way to the classic cool funky guitar.
