Showing my understanding of the task given to me by: researching my improving my improvising skills.

so far i understand my set task and i am going to show that Ive understood how to improvise. In the first week i looked at how to improvise over a track and i learnt the basics for live improvising. In the second week i downloaded tracks from you tube and created my own samples using ableton live by cutting out specific parts of a track to make one shots for later use. In the third week I looked at tracks for specific samples and looked in detail at the samples i need to go towards my performance, however i felt very un-inspired and found it difficult to find the samples i need.

In my live performance i am to make the genre electro house, I chose this because my track that i produced is electro house and i feel confident in that genre and also the track it's self as i know it off by heart. This means ill be able to do a performance in which i feel confident which will hopefully contrast to the audience.
I'm going to put my improvising skills to the best of my ability. As the track progresses ill add effects and samples in key places to liven things up. Not only will i add samples i will change the whole track by adding cool down sections be altering the mids, highs and lows and adding effects such as gate, stutter and speed.
I am going to Production room to look at audio equipment and see whats available to use .

Looking for specific sounds to sample out of tracks. 7/11/14

today i was browsing on youtube to listen to tracks and find sounds that i liked. I looked at lots of different genres such as ; chill step, house, electro. I looked at my own tracks to see if i could sample anything however none of my tracks are meant for live improv. I am still looking for sounds to sample however i am feeling un-inspired and im finding it hard to find sounds that go with the flow.So i shall continue.
