Jake’s album project
My son Jake is doing the AQA Baccalaureate at his college. It involves the usual A-levels (he’s doing Philosophy, Music Tech and English Language), an extra AS-level class in Critical Thinking, 100 hours of extra-curricular activities, and an extended project. The extended project can either be a 5000 word essay on a topic of your choice, or an artefact of some kind with a 1000 words explaining what you made and why.
Jake’s chosen to go down the practical project / artefact route – and for his, he’s recording an album.
He became interested in producing electronic music a while back, and wanted to improve his skills on that front, so this seemed like a good idea. And in order to get better at it quickly, he decided to record a song a day for 30 days.
