Composition 2

Composition Ideas
Me, Cody, Cameron
Guitar and Drums Instrumental

I was sick for a week, but the boys had a intro sorted out, so once I had learnt that and gotten the vibe of the song the next day me and Cody sat down, and we exchanged riff ideas for the rest of the song and we ended up finishing the guitars apart from a solo.

We need to spend more time working on drum beats to accompany the guitars, but what Cameron has come up with so far has been awesome. We may include some sort of guitar harmony outro, and maybe a drum intro.

This song has a very upbeat feel and is extremely groove based and melodic, some vocals would go great over it but unfortunately we do not have a singer. All we need to do now is write some solo sections, write the rest of the drums and tweak the song so it is perfect to our ears.

This will be me and Cody's 5th composition but only our second with Cameron on Drums, so hopefully by the end of this year we will have all of our songs with guitars and drums, so we can eventually gain a bass player and a singer then record it all for our first E.P.

Artist Model: Marc Chagall

Marc Chagall was born 6th of July 1887 in Liozna, Russian Empire and died on the 18th of March 1985.
March Chagall was an early modernist. He used many different artistic styles and worked in almost every artistic format including painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints. My favourite part about Marc Chagall's paintings in particular are his backgrounds. Such as in these paintings.

For my first board I focused on Rene Magritte's idea of surrealism, simplicity and morphing objects together, so for my second board I am going to focus on Marc Chagall and using his ideas of using backgrounds that a very eclectic have a lot of texture and are often very disorientating.

Second Board

For my second board, I am going to focus on using naturally occurring objects such as birds plants etc as metaphors. For the top of my board I am going to do a progression of roses form dead to live to wrapped around someones hands. I will use the vines of the rose as a reoccurring theme for my second board which will link to the first board as it is similar to the chains. I will also do a raven flying away from another with some vine wrapped around it's leg and the other raven possibly wrapped up in it. These two birds are a continuation of the "two people" in my first board and one will have a key in it's mouth and I might use the prison bars through the middle of the piece with the two ravens and possibly have the raven flying away casting a shadow. and the roses are representations of the at this stage I am still thinking about the rest of my board. Here are some sketches and notes on these ideas.

Start of my Artwork with two ravens, debating on keeping it drawn, painting it or using mixed media.
