Final

For the final project I really didn’t change anything up. Overall I felt the piece was full, but it still needed a little touching up. So with one of my field recordings I had of industrial sounds, I threw it on a sampler and looped parts of it to create a robotic rhythmic sound. I added it between the transitions of the two spaces. I felt that little touch brought the piece to another stratosphere, creating further tension to the second space. After reconciliation of all the pieces I felt that this little add-on made the piece make sense. Taken as a whole, I feel satisfied with the outcome and comfortable with the effect I attempt to create.

Final Draft

For my draft I decide to take your words into consideration and add some low end. I still wanted to form most of my ideas around IPhone recordings. I’ve also decided to incorporate some in the studio documentations to add to the low-end element of the piece. For some low rumbling, I rhythmically banged on the studio window; I wanted to emulate a kick drum. After constant listening to the track as a whole, I noticed it starts with mostly mids and highs then halfway through the track I introduced the low end; I felt like keeping the arrangement as is because it sounds like two juxtaposing environments. Overall I know this piece can go beyond the expectations I set for myself and for the final I am determined to incorporate elements I have never done before.

Final Proposal

I approached this project a little differently than prior works; I focused a bevy of my time recording various sounds through my iPhone. A plethora of my material came from spontaneous recording of sounds I’ve heard throughout the past weeks. With these recorded sounds I wanted to create a white wash type of space; I depicted this through various textures of the recordings and the automations I orchestrated via Logic Pro. I have to say that I am nowhere near finished and my proposal isn’t 4-5 minutes long but it is a shortened version of the feeling I want to accentuate. Some of my inspiration for this particular course of production was sound projects I have done in the past that implemented phone recordings, and ambient music producers like clams casino and Andy Stott; who focused ambient sonic spaces.
