The Bible and Music

In class on March 5, we discussed creation a lot. Not only within the Bible, but also within our own musical project. Music for the creation would be described as happy, light, soft, mystical, uplifting, and with a powerful build-up. “Creatio ex nihilo” means creation out of nothing. This was interesting to learn because I personally am not very good with roots and other languages besides English and Spanish, haha. The Tiamat was comparable to a hydra in the Enuma Elish. I remember reading Percy Jackson books when I was younger and the hydra was a monster in Greek mythology. This was always a big monster with many heads that kept regenerating, even if the head was severed. I always thought they were one of the stronger monsters in the series, as they have an immortal capability.

For our project, we dove deeper into how we can create our projects. We said that plagiarism is associated with originality, you cannot copy chords but you can use the same words if you change it up and make them your own. If the order or meaning is different, it is okay. Improvisation uses familiar chords to make something new. A few resources we discussed was Auxy, GarageBand, and apronus.com. These will be very helpful in creating my final project.
