During this unit, I have learned how to source and refer to information and use them alongside my own understandings of the material to create a piece of writing that is backed up by numerous sources. These new skills will greatly help my practice since I can now create better piece of informative, reflective and analytical writing due to this increase in my researching and writing skills. However, something I would like to greatly improve in is my range of sources. Many sources throughout this piece of writing have been articles and interviews; I would like to branch out into other forms of writing to research from such as books, but I understand that will take some time for me to get to grips with due to my predisposition to not like big walls of text. On the practical side, I have used many workflows that I haven’t tried before, whilst songs such as the breakcore track were relatively in my ballpark, other tracks such as the Moor Mother track were very different and cause me to think of things from a new angle which is always a fun challenge. Finally, my presenting skills did receive a boost as well, whilst I still think that my presentations had a lot to be desired and I was very critical about my performance whilst presenting, I understand again that things will get better with time and I will have more opportunities to present.
Overall, whilst I still believe writing and presenting are my weaker skills compared to practical music production; I think I’ve improved on my skills a lot whilst also understanding I can improve more in the future.
