TASK
UNDERTAKE 2 PIECES OF PRIMARY RESEARCH IN RELATION TO
YOUR SPECIALISM AND PRODUCTION PIECES.

EXAMPLES;
“I AM TRYING TO CREATE A SOUND FOR MY PRODUCTION PIECE. I
WILL TRY IT 2 WAYS, ONE BY RECORDING SOME AUDIO AND
MANIPULATING, AND ONE BY LAYERING AUDIO AND MIDI
CHANNELS.” WHICH WORKS BEST.

“I AM TRYING TO ACHIEVE A PARTICULAR KICK DRUM SOUND. I

WILL CONDUCT AN EXPERIMENT USING TWO DIFFERENT MICS”
COMPARE AND CONTRAST. WHICH WORKS BEST?
EXAMPLE SECONDARY TASK
WRITE A SHORT PROFILE OF A PROFESSIONAL PRACTITIONER
WORKING IN THE FIELD OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL SPECIALISM.

THIS SHOULD INCLUDE YOUR OWN OPINIONS, A FOCUS ON PIECES

OF WORK BY THE SUBJECT OF YOUR PIECE. USE OF SECONDARY
RESEARCH TO SUPPORT YOUR OPINIONS. USE HARVARD
REFERENCING TO MAKE CLEAR WHERE YOU HAVE SOURCED
INFORMATION.
YOUR TASK
1. PRIMARY RESEARCH - 2 RECORDING EXPERIMENTS WITH A
RELEVANT SCENARIO AND CONCLUSION. (500 WORDS) - POSTED
(OR LINKED TO) UNDER ’PRIMARY RESEARCH’ TAB ON YOUR
PROFILE SITE.
2. SECONDARY RESEARCH - A PROFILE PIECE ON 2 PROFESSIONAL
PRACTITIONERS IN YOUR CHOSEN FIELD. FOCUS ON PARTICULAR
PIECES OF WORK (SONGS, ALBUMS, SOUNDTRACKS ETC),
EXPLAINING THE CONTEXT OF THE PRODUCTION WORK AND HOW
IT IS RELEVANT TO YOUR WORK. USE SECONDARY RESEARCH IN
YOUR PROFILE PIECE (500 WORDS). INCLUDE UNDER ’SECONDARY
RESEARCH’ TAB.
