Our group decided to do arguably the most famous song in the Disco genre "Freak" by Chic. During the process of this song we experimented with many different things such as: melody, vocal changes in terms of notes and instrumental breakdowns to create a use of dynamic in the song. However, when coming to rehearsing the song we came to realise that the song itself already has a use of dynamic to a certain extent in relation to the bass line because somehow a difficult baseline to play but simultaneously the song being very easy to play for other instruments such as the piano (strings) and the drums. When it came to the piano which I was in charge of playing, I decided to play about with the notes in terms of using octaves in the chorus to make the strings sound very distinctive and present in the chorus. Also, in the bridge the experimentation of notes of 7th and 9ths created this presence of tension and dynamics which is what made the song stand out in general. This is what I had to do in the verses which is quiet simple.
