Title: Raye (Broken Record)

Duration: 52 minutes 45 seconds

Presenter: Justin Richmond

Guest: Raye

Topics covered: In this episode, Raye discusses how a quote from Nina Simone gave her the courage to take control of her career and she explains the inspiration behind her new multi-part single, "Genesis"

Why did i chose this podcast: I chose to do this podcast, because i am a fan of the guest, Raye's new single "Genesis" that is discussed in this podcast. I also was interested how Raye began in the music industry because she started around the same age as me and was signed by a record label at 17 and started writing for artists like Beyonce and Rihanna. I was also interested in hearing the inspiration between her music and hopefully gain some ideas for my own musical development.

How does this podcast relate to my own personal experiences and musical development?

Week 1: 02/03/26 I started this week by looking at different ideas on what to do my project on. By the end of the week I had decided to create a research based project. In my project I will be researching different drummers and styles along with including my own examples of using these techniques. I also created a timetable on what to follow each week for the project. Week 1 Evaluation: I am happy with how my progress is going this week, I managed to pick my choice for the project quite early on in the week which gave me some time to complete my timetable that I will be following for the project. I also managed to find what styles and drummers I will be researching which will be helpful when creating my presentation. Unfortunately I haven't yet began my research posts or any sort of blogpost. Targets for next week: My targets for next week will be to discuss my choice for the project with my lecturers too see if it's up to standard, I will also check to see if my timetable need...

6/8 The first track I began working on was the 6/8 time signature track. I firstly came up with two simple chords which were Dm7 and Fmaj7 which I found sounded well together after I started playing some random chords on the guitar to come up with something. I then created a simple strumming pattern that was played in 6/8. Once I had the input set properly and the gain on the guitar, I then used a tap tempo app on my phone to figure out what the tempo of the song was, which was 31bpm. I did struggle playing the chords for a long time as they were barre chords, so I simply recorded the first 2 bars of the song using a thick and clean amplifier on logic which I picked out, I also added an echo pedal and a retro chorus pedal which I thought sounded very well put together and it was the sound I was looking which was bright. After recording 8 bars on the guitar, I repeated this process until I had 12 bars put together. I then moved onto using a bass track which I used from logic and changed...

 What am I doing for my final major project? I have decided to do a research blog for my final major project.   In these blogs I will be researching different drummers and styles, I will also be including some tracks of me experimenting with these styles. I will make a total of 7 posts which are traditional drumming, jazz drumming, funk drumming, time signatures, African drumming, drum machines and a recording journal for my own tracks. Why have I decided to do this? As a drummer myself, I have very little knowledge on different historical contexts and styles of drumming. Therefore, I decided doing multiple different research posts would be very beneficial for me and would hopefully help my development as a drummer. Experimenting with different genres and styles will also help my development with songwriting.  Recording journal post: I decided it would be best to create a separate blog post to include all of my tracks, mixing and recording journal instead of keeping it do...
