In this tutorial, Lee and I further discussed what I wanted to do as a project and narrowed it down to creating something researched based that would be influenced by the work of Rich Costey. This then changed slightly to be influenced by the work of John Leckie and Rich Costey on Muse’s first three albums and Rage Against The Machine’s ‘Renegades.’

We narrowed it down to an EP of original material, rather than the idea of covering popular songs in Muse’s style like I had suggested.

The the next session Lee set me a checklist of things to do. It was as follows;

• Research and discuss the record production techniques used by Rich Costey on the following albums: xx x xx xx
• Use a selection of these production techniques to inform and shape the sound of an EP of original material.

You need 4-5 of these.  Make sure that they’re measureable and specific.

• By next week (or maybe week 5) you will need to informally present your project proposal.
• Do a powerpoint and cover the following: The creative objectives of the project.  YOUR LEARNING OBJECTIVES. Synopsis of the nature of the final product (include, reference music, nature of the recording sessions).
