(A) My Ideal Music Producer
As a music producer , I want to be a collaborator and an innovator. I can be more than limited to one or two single styles of music , but I can blend different styles of music. For example, elements of electronic, indie and pop music can be fused ,with a focus on creating rich ,textured soundscapes that evoke emotion. I try to create a comfortable environment for artists that encourages creativity and experimentation.
(B) Reflection on Current Skills
To assess my current skills , I used an interactive PDF skills audit. Through this exercise , I assessed various skills such as arranging, mixing, and sound design. After completing the audit , I found that I am still relatively good at melody writing and arranging , but also clearly identified areas for further development.
(C) Areas of Development
In the first year, I aimed to focus on a few key areas of development :
DAW Use : To become proficient in the use of Ableton , pro tools and other required DAWs.
Genre Exploration : Expanding my musical knowledge by exploring different genres of music will not only inspire me creatively but also help me become more versatile. My goal is to study various styles and be able to make similar music.
SOUND DESIGN : I would like to delve into sound design and experiment with synthesis and sampling. Developing this skill will allow me to create more unique and original soundscapes that will make my work stand out.
COLLABORATION : Improving my ability to work effectively with artists and other producers is crucial. I plan to engage in more collaborative projects that focus on communication and shared vision.
By focusing on these areas , I hope to continue to improve as a producer and make more work that I can be happy with.
