Today was my chance to show my client what i was really capable of when given a brief to work from as I entered my 3rd client meeting with John. After explaining some of the research I had found and used in the creation of the project we went up to the ‘Reserve Lounge’ so i could play him one of the completed tracks. This was fortunate as this allowed me to assess the dynamic qualities of the room and the sound system and how they reacted to my music. Upon playing the song to John I instantly realised that the lower bass frequencies were slightly too prominent on this particular system. This was due to a pre-set EQ the kaleidovision system featured to boost the bass frequencies of all music played through the interface in an attempt to improve the listening experience of the customers. Although a more musically in tune pair of ears like my own was able to notice this, John did not however.

After the music had finished playing, John seemed pleased and congratulated me on my work so far. “Its nice to finally hear music that actually suits the room”. Unfortunately as John is not from a musical background as such he could not give me a technical critique of my work so far. However the fact that he was pleased with the product as a ‘regular’ music listener, that was all the praise i needed. He also said that as long as the other two songs are finished of a similar quality he will be more than happy to use the music within the room in the future. Although the praise from my client was much appreciated It did make me realise that i would have to look into the business and legal side of him using my music in a public space. This was actually very helpful as i now have a new avenue to direct my research towards. We scheduled our next meeting for Monday 31st March where I hope to have all of the songs nearer a completed stage, ready to show my client and then begin the testing stages.
