Reflection Journal 4

Mission 4 has begun and everyone is excited for whats about to come. So we went through the briefing as per usual to guide us in whatever it was we had to do next and sure enough instructions were given. The instructions were to rewrite or edit a song that we have made in the last 3 weeks and submit it by the next production lab session. Heres the catch though, its an INDIVIDUAL project. This means that whatever we're changing in the song we pick would be to personal preference. It didn't necessarily mean that I had to work alone however because we were still given the choice to 'hire' our friends to help us with the changes we want to make. These changes could be ideas I wasn't able to introduce back then or maybe a change in style in the way its played or perhaps even the genre of the song. Either way, it is definitely a session which we have to think about because we have to know what we want before 'hiring' fellow musicians. I had alot of ideas pop up around that time but I still had to organise my thoughts. Anyways, it definitely is a unique mission this week as compared to the other weeks since we were used to group projects. 1 week to think about which song I want to edit and what i want to implement. This might get interesting.

Reflection Journal 6

Well week 5 of production lab is here! Though before the lesson could begin, Leon gave us a talk about our progress in the production lab and lets just say its not one of his usual talks. The talk he gave to us really hit us hard, at least it hit ME hard. The realisation from what he said was actually pretty true. Although the pieces that we made did matter, what matters most was our growth and what we learnt throughout the 5 weeks of production lab. Most of the pieces we made were within my comfort zone, and for the pieces that weren't, it wasn't to the point where I was feeling too uncomfortable. I thought to myself my weaknesses and what I wasn't comfortable with, and things like instrumentals, cultural music etc etc came to my mind. And I started having regrets because I had the chance to work on music like that but I missed it. So after that talk it really gave me something similar to that of a wake up call and it got me thinking. It got me determined to step out of ...

So far this has been my favourite session in the production lab because the briefing we had was really funny but at the same time very enriching. Yet again production lab had me questioning on what "Beauty" was and how it relates to our potential future careers.When it came to the mission, I was wondering how the pieces that inspired us or has had an impact in our lives which we found "beautiful" were suppose to help us do the project. So when it came to sharing it with my group, I was rather skeptical. But then i realised that the things we were sharing with one another all had a common theme to them, which was that all 3 of us were scared to take the risk of pursuing a music-related career but these pieces inspired us to pursue them. When we realised this, we felt really happy because its something that all of us could relate to and we used that relatable experience to write a song that expressed how we feel about the paths we've chosen. Although it may not be...
