#ForTheLoveOfFruityLoops

Lately, I have been brushing up on my beat-making skills with the aid of renonwed music program "Fruity Loops". Because this is the program my sponsor uses-as well as famous producers such as Lex Luger and Polow Da Don- I decided that downloading the trial version in order to get familiar with the software would be proactive decision.Having an adequate knowledge of your intended suject can be taken by your sponsor one of two ways: you're a jerk whose only reason for seeking their help is attributed to the fact that in Senior Project having a Sponsor is mandated or they would be highly flattered by your devotion.

After hours of intense research, requiring a delicate balance of switching from YouTube to Fruity Loops, I finally managed to create my first beat. However, because I only possess the trial version, I am unable to save my creations. This means that my first beat is lost in the infinitely expanding cyber universe, and honestly I'm not complaining, due to it's terribleness. I'm going to end on that note, no pun intended (HA!)

#...DoesWhateverASpiderCan

As I promised in my earlier blog #Trebbles4MyTroubles, I have devoted this blog post to my experience at the Broadway blockbuster "Spider-Man". Honestly, the show can be summed up in one word: amazing! (emphasis on the exclamation mark) Although, some of the acting seemed bland, but the action-packed sequences more than made up for it. Every last cent, of the 64 million dollars spent on effects, was made apparent by the dazzling displays, astounding aerial maneuvers, and pimpin' (forgive me. At times, alliteration can be difficult) props. But that's not what I wrote this for. I wrote this to touch on the music of the play. The play's musical numbers were captavating. Upon viewing the play, I was unfamiliar with U2's music. However, Bono and The Edge's style of music was glaring to after leaving the play. I strongly recommend the play to any lover of music or admirer of action.

Unfortunately, my sponsor is not available until Tuesday of next week; therefore I won’t be seeing my sponsor until Tuesday of next week. However, when we do finally collaborate, it’s going to be off to the races! My sponsor has been a friend of the family for as long as I can remember, so naturally we have a close bond, which in turn, is going to enable us to get down to business faster by eliminating the building-a-relationship aspect of the sponsor visits.

My sponsor seemed very passionate about teaching me the ins-and-outs of producing music, causing me to be as eager to get started as ever. He innocently bragged of his in-house studio, two beat machines, and more-than-adequate knowledge of all his music equipment. With that being said, come Tuesday, I’m going to leave my sponsor visit with a whole new understanding and appreciation for music.

#Trebbles4MyTroubles

As looked out the window soaking in the view of scenes previously unfimiliar to me, headed to New York City on a theatre trip to the Broadway show "Spiderman" (stay tuned for the post), I felt as though I was thrown into a cage at the Philadelphia Zoo: Non-stop howling, belligerent behavior, and complete choas-but don't get me wrong I love my fellow theatre kids-So I escaped the only way I know how; through music.Not only did I listen to a series of songs that always seem to soothe me (I've added a small playlist at the end of this post), I played my hand at beat-making with the use of the iPhone app "MusicStudio", A beat whose mediocrity can only be attributed to my lack of experience. But who knows, maybe this lack-luster beat was only the beginning of a lavish legacy.

#YouHereNowSoRockWithMe

I would like to welcome all of you to me. My name is Larry Hill. (point to mother)And that right there is my beautiful mother. (direct attention to Moreland) And that over there is Mentor Damon Moreland...

Now for what y'all really came here for. Due to difficulty finding a sponsor, I had to change my primary project, Fashion, to my second passion, music. I'm planning to learn the ropes of music producing. So for my project, I intend to write about how music producers must have an adequate knowledge of many different genres in order to be successful.
