Abstract

Berd Shert is an ongoing solo music production project aimed at development of music production skills, music composition skills, and sound engineering. As trends in creative media education have changed over the years, there has been a shift from a focus on sound engineering more towards music composition and production. Berd Shert became a project to develop critical skills required for teaching music composition and music production using modern DAW software and related technologies.This project also enabled the exploration of advanced music theory concepts and digital production techniques whilst still aiming to produce a body of work that is musically accessible.

On the distribution platform Bandcamp, the Berd Shert listing indicates a carefree and whimsical approach to music making, whereas in reality the process was much more intentional. The result of this project is an eclectic mix of tracks that may not come across as a cohesive playlist, but more broadly achieve the goals of developing a diverse range of skills and techniques. Despite the diversity of the tracks in this album, the overarching theme is to create a sense of ‘real’ sounds and performances from what would otherwise be mainly synthetic and sampled content.

Exploring composition and production skills impacted teaching and facilitation through the use of real world examples, having a range of musical styles that can appeal to a range of students, and ongoing use of music and audio related software.
