Prog rock

 During the process of creating our own progressive Rock song, we pretty much made this song by improvising on spot with everyone playing their own instrument and vocalist live on stage.  It was a fairly easy way of making this song complete and come out in a natural way,  however what makes this a very risky way to make songs is that it can very easily be forgotten how to play what was created in the first place. Which is what happened in our group and we had to figure out different ways to make this song sound as similar as possible to the original recording because the original recording was brilliant and we loved the way we used every single instrument stand out.  We use three different sections which is what we tried to do as the Prog Rock genre has this element of differentiation throughout the structure of the songs. We also changed the tempo and the time signature of this song, but still using the same key .  As much as it was easy to create a song, we found it difficult to finalise the performance of the song as we wanted it to become better and better and we never reached a point which we were completely happy with how the song was finished.
