This Genius project is getting closer to a close and its kind of nice, but also kind of sad its going to be over. Last week I said I would do better. I did but not to whatever solar system I was shooting to. There will be a clip of music that I've been working on. It is inspired by Logic's "Black Spiderman" I don't necessarily agree with all that he is rapping, singing about, but the song he made is beautiful at least in my opinion. I wrote some lyrics to go along with it, just haven't finished making the music to go along with it itself. The hardest part about this whole process is finding how do I get all these crazy sounds in my head to actually come into this reality. I still struggle with being able to do that. I decided that last weeks song was terrible so I am not going to be torturing you guys. There are around 7 different lyrics I also haven't show you guys, I might at some point like the very last week, but some of it is kind of personal. I learned how to play the melody for the short beat by going on YouTube and figuring out how it is played. I then used my little piano to bash out some cords, then went in and fine adjusted, and added in notes to complete the cord making it sounds nicer. Next I found a bass guitar instrument and played some accompanying lower cords to go along with the melody. I then thought wouldn't it be cool if I added an orchestra playing the same notes as the piano so I added that in along with the other two. Finally I needed a beat so I threw together some different kicks, claps, snares, and tried to make it correspond to the melody a little. Overall I think its ok, I could do better though. I am going to start working on my final song after this blog. I think it will be a slower song, lots of beautiful piano cords, It'll have verses, some kind of hook. Maybe it will go 1# on the bill board chart, maybe it will be good enough for me to fall asleep thinking that was alright. Ultimately I didn't learn as much as I should have from last week, but I took some baby steps so that is important. I did try signing with some of the audio effects and some of them made me sound like an 80's rock singer so that was pretty cool. Its amazing how deep into the details you can go, and that has taken a lot of my time away from making music, but I'm having fun so isn't really that big of a deal. Good luck to everyone else on their projects. 

 The music clip is inspired by this song.
Black Spiderman by Logic




deal. I hope all you guys are having good luck on your project and having fun doing it.
