Episode 78: Able ARTS Work Quarantunes: Episode 17

Welcome back to ArtBeat Radio! You’re listening to episode 17 of Quarantunes, where quarantine can’t stop our creativity! In this episode, we’ll hear musical expression from the artists at ART Center.   (1:45) “Sunny” For the song “Sunny,” the class started by exploring samples from Soundtrap. After finding a piano part and creating a beat with it, they exported it and continued to add onto it. They recorded snaps, claps, a v-tech critters keyboard, and chose from more samples. The class then wrote lyrics about being happy and then recorded themselves singing. Lyrics:  IT FEELS SUNNY IT’S SUNNY OUTSIDE I FEEL GOOD I FEEL HAPPY GLAD IT’S SUNNY OUT IT FEELS GOOD OUT I LIKE IT WHEN IT’S SUNNY OUT  (3:26) “Disco Party” This next song is titled “Disco Party.” Students decided to create a dance-inspired song. The class listened to new and old dance songs they liked to get inspired. In the song, you can hear students singing and as well as one of the students using the brail note apex. They also chose the genre, tempo, samples, and all the instrumentations in the song. Lyrics:  DISCO PARTY  Thank you to ART Center for this amazing episode, and thank you to Alison Salo for this creative album artwork!  Join us in our annual online giving event, opening for donations on September 17th https://donate.longbeachgives.org/fundraise/9100/join-art-center-in-supporting-able-arts-work  Thanks for listening!
