2 Contolled Conditions Unit 1 has thee tasks within the Music Technology Potfolio: 1A Sequenced Realised Pefomance, 1B Multi-tack Recoding and 1C Ceative Sequenced Aangement. Thee is also a Logbook that must be submitted along with the potfolio. The equiement fo Contolled Conditions does not mean that a submission has to be caied out, fom stat to finish, unde close supevision in the school o college music technology depatment. It can boadly be divided into two pocesses, eseach and pepaation and witing, with only the time spent on the witing pat of the pocess counting towads the maximum of 60 hous stated in the specification. Reseach and pepaation Boadly speaking, this is any wok that is done pio to completing the final atefact to be sent to the examine. Reseach and pepaation can be completed outside the cente. Thee is no time limit fo it. The esults can be ecoded in witing o electonically, and can be taken in and out of the cente and efeed to duing contolled witing time. Howeve, the teache must inspect them, and be satisfied that they ae the student s own wok. Task 1A: Sequenced Realised Pefomance Reseach and pepaation will include time spent woking out the pats fom the oiginal audio tack, leaning how to use the sequencing package, expeimenting with timbes, eseaching the oiginal tack and pactising the pats to be played into the sequence. Task 1B: Multi-tack Recoding Reseach and pepaation will include time spent eseaching the tack to be ecoded, listening to the oiginal and deciding on what effects and pocessing have been used, pepaing and eheasing the ensemble to be ecoded, checking and testing equipment, leaning micophone technique and placement, testing levels and getting eveything set up and pepaed eady fo the actual ecoding pocess. Task 1C: Ceative Sequenced Aangement Reseach and pepaation will include time spent listening to the oiginal stimulus tack, listening to music in the specified styles, expeimenting with suitable melodic o hamonic ideas, expeimenting with developments of the oiginal stimulus and woking out ough dafts of the aangement. 2

3 Witing Boadly speaking, this is any wok involved in completing the final atefact to be sent to the examine. Students have a maximum of 60 hous witing time. Teaches must keep a witten ecod to ensue that each student s witing time has not been exceeded. The 60 hous may be split acoss the 3 tasks as appopiate the 20 hous pe task as stated in the specification should be used as a guide, but is not compulsoy it is the 60 hous total fo the whole potfolio which must not be exceeded. Witing time will take place inside the cente, eithe in timetabled lesson times o outside them, as most convenient to all concened. It must be unde supevision. Task 1A: Sequenced Realised Pefomance Any input of notes into the sequencing package o subsequent editing of any data, including the editing of timbes, pitch, hythm, contolle infomation etc., which will fom pat of the final ecoding sent to the examine, is consideed to be pat of the witing of the task. The final bounce (mixdown) to a steeo audio file of the finished sequence is also consideed witing time, though pepaing and buning the CD fo submission is not. Task 1B: Multi-tack Recoding Anything that will fom pat of the finished audio tack to be sent to the examine falls unde witing time. This will include the ecoding of the musicians, any subsequent editing including timming tacks, level setting, adding effects and pocessing, mixing and masteing. The final bounce (mixdown) to a steeo audio file of the finished ecoding is also consideed witing time, though pepaing and buning the CD fo submission is not. Task 1C: Ceative Sequenced Aangement Anything that is input into the final sequenced tack to be sent to the examine falls unde witing time. This will include time spent inputting all the ideas the candidate has come up with duing the pepaation time and any subsequent alteations, editing and additions made to the final sequenced aangement. The final bounce (mixdown) to a steeo audio file of the finished aangement is also consideed witing time, though pepaing and buning the CD fo submission is not. Logbook The completion of the Logbook does not contibute to the 60 hous limit, but it must be completed unde limited supevision. Declaation Fom Candidates must sign the Declaation Fom located on page 16 of the Logbook stating that the wok is thei own. Teaches will not countesign the declaation if the wok appeas not to be oiginal. 3 Tun ove

4 Task 1A: Sequenced Realised Pefomance Rathe Be (featuing ess Glynne) Clean Bandit Using the oiginal Clean Bandit ecoding as you stimulus (tack 1 fom Rathe Be (feat. ess Glynne) 2014, Atlantic Recods. Copyight 2013 Wane Music UK Limited.) make a sequenced ealisation of this song, including all vocals, instumental pats and poduction featues. You should ty to match timbes and pefomance details as closely as possible to the oiginal ecoding, but you must substitute an appopiate instumental timbe fo the vocal. A skeleton scoe has been included to assist you. Howeve, you ae eminded that this is pedominantly an aual task. As indicated in the skeleton scoe you sequenced ealisation must end at ba 89 with the solo lead vocal. You must not include the synth pat in ba 89. You ae not equied to ealise the end section which begins at 2:56. You must input all sequenced data by playing o pogamming the pats youself. You must not use any MIDI files downloaded fom the intenet o copied fom any othe souce. You must not use pe-pogammed audio o MIDI loops in this task. You may use sampling to eplicate poduction techniques whee appopiate. Each sample must consist of only one pitch; any hythms must be sequenced. Any samples longe than one note will be consideed to be continuous audio and so will not be assessed. You must not sample audio fom any commecial vesion of the stimulus. You should submit you completed pefomance as tack 1 on you Music Technology Potfolio 1 CD. (Total fo Task 1A 40 maks) 4
