As a part of the second workshop,
We learnt about 'rapid block moment'. This is having a small passage of music and inside it, it has several time signature changes. We found out about a neat little trick Stravinsky used to move between the Octatonic scale and the Dorian mode and we watched some videos of different arrangements of the 'Riot of Spring'.Some of the Honours and Post Graduate students talked about there recent endeavours.
One of the students was lucky enough to attend the 'Atlantic Music Festival 2012' which is a composition workshop that lasts a couple of weeks. We learnt about all the ins and outs of attending as far as colloquial terms.
2 of the Honours students talked about their recent trip to Japan, all the things they encountered and all the things they found out about touring in Tokyo and the surrounding cities.
They both played compositions they have composed, in very differing styles. One was contemporary classical while the other piece was an intriguing mix of acoustic instruments and interesting samples.
