20 BTEC National Award Assignment Unit 25 Music Technology in Performance Issue Date : September 2012 Assessment Date : December 2012 Introduction. Over time, the boundaries between traditional instrumental performance and music technology performance are becoming increasingly blurred. Music technology has been used in performances since the experimentalists in the 1960s, but it is becoming more apparent, frequent and mainstream. In some instances, technologists are now performers rather than supporters.. The range of technologies now available for performers is immense. DJ techniques and experimental methods areused but there are many further options available such as the mic-ing of traditional instruments and their distortion, and equipment such as Sound Beam. Combining music with other art forms is a well established trend. Musical accompaniment for singers and dancers is the norm and in the same way, music technology can be combined with many different art forms to create a finished piece. Music technology and instrumental/vocal performances are common examples but music technology can also link with dance, art and moving image. You will develop the skills to use music technology in live performance. You will understand how music technology can be integral to a live performance rather than play only a supporting role. You will become music technologists as well as performers. You will research the history and development of music technology in performance from the experimentalists to current trends. Finally, you will work with artists from another art form to create an integrated performance

21 In this unit, you will need to : 1. Show that you understand how music technology applications can be used in performance situations, with due regard to safety. 2. Be able to use a range of music technology applications safely and creatively in Performance. 3. Understand the historical and developmental context of electronic, computer generated and electro-acoustic music performance. 4 Be able to combine music technology with related art forms in performance. Assessment criteria By completing the following activities and keeping the evidence listed, you will be able to meet all the criteria up to a Distinction Level. Final Assessment will be in the form of Pass, Merit or Distinction.

22 Task 1 The company has been asked to expand our current website. Create a link to an information section charting the history of music technology in performance. You need to research landmark composers, compositions, performances, developments in technology from the latest music technology publications eg. Sound on sound, comment on the practicalities of performances which use increasing amounts of technology and different approaches in composition. You are aiming to comment critically on the context of electronic, computer-generated and electro acoustic music performance. Evidence Your evidence will be this section of the website which you have created. In order to get a PASS in this task, you will need to describe the context of electronic, computer-generated and electro-acoustic music performance in your website. In order to get a MERIT in this task, you will need to describe and explain the context of electronic, computer-generated and electro-acoustic music performance in your website. In order to get a DISTINCTION in this task, you will need to describe and explain and critically comment on the context of electronic, computer-generated and electro-acoustic music performance in your website.

23 Task 2 Give a short performance to the team! Your musical performance must use some form of musical technology to enhance it. You can choose and plan the nature of the technology. You will need to rehearse so that your performance is fluent. You can use other members of the company to help you if needed. You will be told in advance which lesson your performance will be in. Evidence A video of your performance Assessment In order to achieve a pass in this unit you will need to use music technology in the live performance of music with minor errors that do not detract from the overall effect P3 In order to achieve a merit in this unit you will need to use music technology competently in the live performance of music M3 In order to achieve a distinction in this unit you will need to use music technology in the live performance of music demonstrating artistic flair D3

24 Task 3 The company has been asked to provide an audio experience to accompany a Chellaston art exhibition. You will need to research the current exhibition to plan how the music will become part of the experience next year. This will lead to designing and composing the music and how it will be performed. You are aiming to use music technology within a performance which integrates with the many different visual experiences. Evidence The boss will attend the exhibition and assess the quality of the music In order to get a PASS in this task, you will need to use music technology competently for the exhibition (mistakes/errors will not detract from the overall effect) In order to get a MERIT in this task, you will need to use music technology competently and confidently for the exhibition In order to get a DISTINCTION in this task, you will need to use music technology for the exhibition competently and confidently with creativity, interpretation and artistic flair.

33 Issue Date : March 2012 BTEC National Award Assignment Unit 38 The Music freelance world Assessment Date : June 2012 Introduction. Most people working in the music industry will have selfemployed (freelance) status at some time in their career. Apart from a few large companies, the music industry consists of small companies and many self-employed people working as musicians, producers, songwriters, administrators and a host of other professions. The skills needed to work as a freelance are common to all these areas, and indeed are common to freelance work in any industry. These skills and attitudes are vital not only to creative and commercial success but also to survival as a freelance practitioner. This unit has been written to give learners an understanding of the freelance way of life within the performing arts industry. Taking a professional approach to working in the industry is as essential as having a good product to market, and the unit outlines what qualities industry professionals expect of people working with them. Many people in the music industry stress the importance of attitude as well as aptitude and how important it is that fellow workers communicate well.
