I Insisted on being called The Tyrant Syndicate

Today we had our first team meeting as we are split up into groups, one for each route we were given the pleasure of having the task to do the blue route, in my group I am accompanied by Tom Pearson, Shawwal Afzal, Micheal Henderson, and Inwrek Jones, the team leader has been chosen and Micheal will take that roll as well as Inwrek helping him being Deputy leader.
The next thing to do was to create the team name, after a while of thinking and debating we came out with Pixelarity, there were other options such as Alpaca Forge, Dodgi Vyper and Pixel Forge.

At the moment I'am working on a logo for the team as each member has to come up with one design each, what i am after is a simple design with picture and words meaning the name as well.

Sound

What I have been doing is learning about Wavelengths, Frequency, Decibels and Amplitude, we have also been discussing what music makes us feel like, for example Bob Marley music makes me feel happy, relaxed and cheerful.
What we did today was listen to six pieces of music and wrote what it made us feel and imagine for example for a song called Bratock swing which reminded me of a fight to the death scene in a Colosseum with them circling each other.
Here are three songs and say what they make me think of.
I do not own any of these and only are using them for examples for my work.

First
White Lies - Death

This song is brilliant and is one of my favorite White Lies song which for me brings back good memories when I saw them live, twas a really good day. so for me it makes me happy and would be a really good song to listen to in a car if travelling somewhere.




Second
Nero - Doomsday

This song created by Nero is a good example of what different types of sound makes us feel, this song would be perfectly used in a film where there is mass destruction occurring around the main characters who are trying to avoid everything blowing up in a Jeep moving at high speed. So this is a good song to get hyped up on.







Third

Wiley | Can You Hear Me (Ayayaya) ft Skepta, JME & Ms D (Official Video)




This song makes me think of a big beach party and boat parties going on in Spain with the sun shining down, it is a brilliant song, there is one with just Wiley but for me its better with Skepta and JME as they make it feel different and make me think of clubs here in the UK.
