Last time I saw my new mentor, he gave me an assignment to learn how to play the harmonica. During the month of November, I practiced playing very much. I would create tracks on my computer with me playing guitar, and I would add harmonica recordings and layer it over the guitar. I did this very many times. I created a little video of my own animation and accompanied it with harmonica playing in the background. I thought this would be a neat little project to try because I figured it is very similar to composing scores for movies, which is something I would very much like to do for a living. I created several videos of my animations/music, but only one video had harmonica in it. There are five videos like this total.
Since my independent component idea is to create my own little reel of my work, I gave myself a deadline for compositions, which is December 18. I have five compositions at the moment so I'm pacing myself pretty well. I had one of my mentors critique two of the songs and he gave me some pointers on making them more "hooky." Next time I see him, which is probably sometime next week, I'll have him critique the other songs and show him the videos.
here are the videos
