is anyone else freeballing because of paper 2...

not gonna lie, i haven't studied for m1 for a second and only intend to review the textbook after finishing paper 2 tomorrow

 

[RedDragonStar1]

anyone else find the music 1 questions kinda weird? like i'm surprised we didn't get any "describe the use of X concept in this excerpt" except for like the variety question.

might be just me being super mid at music tho tbh

Does anyone remember the song name from the first excerpt?
Our class could barely hear the vocals and I'm curious if that was intentional at all.
It was basicslly just 100% acoustic guitar.

[moonio]

It was "Steer" By Missy Higgins!!

I heard a quieter electric guitar in there and drums in the second half of the excerpt but yeah it was basically carried by the acoustic guitar riff

I think the song was called Steer, but I don't remember the artist.

 

[moonio]

Yeah! I did catch most of the instrumentals which was good.
Unfortunate that the lyrics were so drowned out, cause listening to the original on spotify I feel like there was a missed opportunity with her vocals and techniques.

 

[RedDragonStar1]

not gonna lie I totally forgot about vocal techniques, I am a piano player and legit cannot play anything else.

my understanding of instruments other than piano and like drums/guitar is bad

 

[HuyoMao]

Yeah I found it really strange too. The only concept of music explicitly stated was structure, which also happens to be my worst concept…

did you guys really get thick of it by ksi as a song (my school got it no joke) for the exam or are these music questions different for each school

The paper had a Jazz variation of Thick of it by KSI, you can find it if you search "thick of it by KSI but its big band jazz" on youtube.

Edit: it should've been in everyone's paper, diff schools don't get different songs i don't think
