No Future is an electronic music piece which contains different producing techniques used in pop music. The concept of the work comes from Sex Pistols's Song "God Save The Queen" and the lyrics of it are also sampled in the work.
The whole work can be divided into 4 distinct parts. Part I(0:00-1:42)features the technique of sampling and a piece of rap by myself. It's inspired by some UK Garage works such as Burial's "Archangle" and The streets'"Original Pirate Material". The music materials in this part are all samples from other music pieces except the beats and bass. The female vocal samples come from my friend's recordings of other songs. The background pads come from Pentatonix 's "Run To You" and the choirs come from "Disco Elysium OST".The sample of "God Save The Queen" and Oasis's "Wonderwall" also appear in the chorus. This part indicates my confusion about my future.
Part II(1:43-3:18) is a New Age and Dream Pop style piece. This part features choirs recorded by myself and fantastic synthetic arpeggio. The samples of the former rap are reprocessed in this part. Part III(3:19-5:05) shifts to the style of Neo-Soul, which is inspired by James Blake's "Limit To Your Love" and Childish Gambino's "Redbone". This part features the arrangement and processing of instruments like clean guitar, bass, piano and strings. But actually, they are all MIDI instruments. The former vocal samples also appear in this part in different shapes. These two parts express the light of hope about the future. Part IV(5:06-End) is the reprise of Part I. The saxophone sounds are sampled from John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme". New synthetic arpeggio is also added to conclude the whole song. The song ends with a disharmonious note, which illustrates the uncertainty and the doubt about my future as well as the future of the whole world.
