Bullet – Overly Stressed (Produced by Me)

 

The story behind this video is, I put together a showreel of grime instrumentals and uploaded it to youtube. (This was the very 1st instrumental in the showreel. Then I posted the showreel on various networking websites such as facebook and twitter. Shortly after hearing my showreel, “Bullet” (the artist on this song) got in contact with me asking for the full instrumental. After explaining that he wanted to make a song and video for the song i gave him the track, once he had finished the track and sent it back i made an edited version, (no swearing) and put it on my CD ‘Blue Bars’.

MC Tigz – Slippin on Ice (Produced, Directed and Edited by me)

This video was shot using my friends video camera in our neighbour hood at night, during a period of snow in london. We thought the snow factor would go well in the video as the song this video was shot for is called “Slippin on Ice”. At the time we didn’t have any artificial or day light, or even a camera stand. so we just had to make do with what we had.

 

Due to the lighting situation we chose not to do anything with the finished video. But i still use it as part of my Videography portfolio.

This wasn’t for any kind of educational task.

Sea World Trailer (Edited by me)

This is a trailer for Sea world that I put together for an assignment in my 1st year of university. There were some specific things we had to include at specified times for this task, and the rest was left up to me. I ended up getting a mark of 80%, so even though i think it would have been better if not for the restrictions set in the task I am happy with the grade. (This video is strictly up for my final year e-portfolio and nothing else)

Final Year Project

My idea is a computer based program that will generate music entirely by itself. The program will use algorithms designed by me to make unique music every time it is used. Hopefully it will be especially useful for “on hold” music on business lines. The way the program will work is it will start generating music as soon as it is opened and give the user the option of un-muting it. But there will also be a feature for the user to choose what type of music they would like to hear, (this will be based on mood and not musical genres).

 At the moment it is still at the creation stage and doesn’t have any designs yet. But below are some screen shots of the program in creation.

Technical Work

‘Little Sister’ Remix Studio Techniques

This is a ‘Write up’ on exactly how i remixed the song (Little Sister), which was provided for a Studio Techniques assignment in my 2nd year. I Can’t remember exactly what grade i got for this but i know it was above 70%, so even though i thought the write was unnecessary i am still pleased with the final mark. The write up explains every process undertaken in the remixing, mixing and mastering the track for completion.

Studio Techniques Assignment

For the assignment I choose to record mix and master a drum kit and acoustic guitar. A drum kit
being; a kick drum, snare, hi hat, cymbal, low tom and hi tom. I hired out the drum kit from the music
department in another section of the university and set it up in our biggest studio. Then used the Octopre, (a peice of hardware that allows you to route multiple signals to locations further away then normal) to get each signal from the large studio to a smaller studio being used as a control room. I enjoyed this task a lot as it was very practical.

Methodologies for the Creative Technology Industry

This is an academic essay on the different methods for the creative industry. This was my least favourite project as it was completely academic 5000 word essay with absolutely no hands / practical work.

Appraisal Assignment2

In this assignment i was asked to research a company of my choice and write a business appraisal (portraying the company in a positive light). I chose the company ‘Chrysalis’ which was a music publishing company that was later bought out by a bigger music company called BMG.

Lennox Momrelle’s SPMA Assignment

In this assignment my task was to put together a log of everything i was doing in MaxMSP. In class only though, i was doing a lot of other stuff in MaxMSP that couldn’t be put in to the log book.

CV (Curriculum Vitae)

About

50. 
    

    L.Momrelle (Lennox Momrelle) was born and raised in South East London, Lewisham 31/05/1991. He is a music producer and rapper who also has many other interests in the creative industry, such as song writing, creating music software, directing and editing music videos, animations and DJ’ing. He has worked with a wide range of people from underground local MC’s to music executives at MTV Pimp My Ride UK… and he is still climbing.

Producer

L. Momrelle is still very much an underground producer and rapper and says he is “focused on pushing the local talent,” as this is where he intends to make his name and build his career. To do so, he has being concentrating on projects like “Blue Bars” and it’s been paying off. Blue Bars is a compilation CD featuring over 20 artists from Lewisham Borough. Alongside Blue Bars, L. Momrelle has also been working with MC Tigz, Frostar and Chelsi Lauren on their mixtapes and EPs.

Before Blue Bars, L. Momrelle was releasing instrumental EPs called “Producers Warfare Vol. 1 and 2,” which mainly consisted of grime, for free downloads. He isn’t done with these either. He plans to continue these, as they were the starting point of when he decided to take music seriously, realising he wanted a career out of doing the things he loves.

To date, L. Momrelle has worked with many many artists and musicians. These include:

• Desperado

• Herda Vim (formally known as Dynamz)

• Dyvine

• Mr. LS

• Double. E (Enrik Elmazi)

• Skrew Face

• Flashman

• Aisha B

• Brisk

• Jemz

• Dark D

as well as the members of Ruthless Kidz, ZTK, the 20+ artists on Blue Bars Vol. 1, all the others mentioned in this bio and anyone he may have missed out by accident.

Artist

He first started making beats and writing lyrics in secondary school with other students and local boys in the neighbourhood. L. Momrelle (whose name was ‘Cupid,’ which was then shortened to ‘Cupes’), Creeper, Platz, Bowzer, Caucasian, Skitz (who changed his name to NGS), Fatal and various others formed a crew called “Ruthless Kids”. They only had a few songs but managed to cover a lot of ground with them. “8 Bar Massacre” featured the locally known MCs Amazer and Unique Kid. “16 bar Massacre” and a joint song with the locally known crew “Zero Tolerance Kids” were other highlights.

Lennox has also been known to take part in competitions such as “UK’s Finest” and “XLP Talent search”. In UK’s Finest he went through three heats and on to the final where he came 2^nd out of a nation wide search (2000 contesters), and in the XLP talent show he also came 2^nd but this time winning a silver medal, (400+ contesters).

Software developer

Unlike all of his other passions, Lennox developed this hobby once he had already started university. After his 1^st year of learning boring coding language he found out that there where other exciting languages that allowed him to create programs in a more fun way. So now he makes iPhone applications and MaxMSP programs and intends on expanding to make software for other devices such as Android phones and Blackberry’s. As he has only started this hobby in the past year he only has a few programs finished. Which include;

Software:

A drum based sampling machine

A Software Synthesizer

A Complex arpeggiator

A Health iPhone application that provides information based on your goals

Directing and Editing Videos

This has almost always been something that Lennox was interested in, starting with seeing all of the music videos on TV. He started off editing footage that other people had filmed and making them into either music videos / net videos / interviews / previews. To date Lennox has done 6 music videos, 5 net videos, 3 interviews and 1 preview video. Most of these where for a company called “Roadstarz” and “Industreets”.

Roadstarz TV

Industreets entertainment

These jobs were also fun jobs to do but most of the time, the person who the video is for is not present. And because I have so much control over a creative project, I end up doing what I think is best, then sometimes the client or boss can turn around and say they’s like some things changed. A lot of the time I what would happen is the boss would give me a rough idea of what the client wants, give me the footage i’d go away and come back with the finished project. The boss then tells me the changes to make then once I do that we show the client. Then the client tells me what changes to make so I go back and do them.

So to conclude, with Video editing I only truly enjoy it when the person who video is for is present. Also if I do the directing.
