12-11-06

Bob would like to discuss the availability of the recording studio and what resources are available to him as far as digital resources. Digital composer ideas: Bob mentioned Finale we could all do this in Garageband as well. Bob has musical direction on this project. We may need to rework Bob's contract, so that we can pay extra talent needed.

GarageBand does seem to print Sheet music.

SONG so far STORY BOARDS:
For the Bacteria song animation:
Avoid portraying trying to see the bacteria with fingers measures.
Eliminate the vomit.
Gerritt: Barb wants 1 still frame of the watercolors and water color backgrounds.

LYRICS: ON THE REMAINING SONGS
The sheet Bob brought in is Rev 3.

CHANGES:

p1 #4 Bacteria Song:
Inside of you ----to---- living all around you

p3 #5 Washing:
Barb would like more of a "Barber Shop" harmonic. Barbershop harmony, as codified during the barbershop revival era (1940s-present), is a style of a cappella, or unaccompanied vocal music characterized by consonant four-part chords for every melody note in a predominantly homophonic texture.

For the perfect place they can grow and multiple (add).

Barb would like this song adjusted. She doesn't like "grow on you" Bob will rework.

p4. #6 Agar Plate
this song got approved.

p5 #2 Hypothesis and Observation:
Tiki 3: could be 3 part harmony course (MATT'S suggestion)
Would like Tiki 3 to be repeated after the "SPOKEN" (BARB WILL REVIEW WITH RANDY - need to come up with something memorable to help with standardized testing.)

RATS
HERMIT
TIKI
AGAR PLATES

RATS AND TIKI CAN BE INTERCHANGEABLE (MALE - FEMALE).
