“Picture being thrust deep into outer space to witness the creation of Planet Earth.  Suddenly the camera zooms in an ethereal pocket of the galaxy where atoms and molecules reside. The four core elements of the earth are revealed here in their embryonic form. Rapidly these four elements ferociously combine and form our planet Earth. The camera then zooms back into outer space with the newly formed planet at the centre of focus.”

“Five Borough Shake” is a music track produced in Logic, a sonic journey through New York’s five boroughs via the NYC subway transit system.
Five musical movements will represent each “Borough” of New York. Each movement will embrace a genre specific that particular Borough e.g. Hip Hop and The Bronx.
Reich’s notion of creating symbolism through a specific timbre will be central to the composition. The “Twelve Tone” compositional process adopted by Reich, Glass and other New York based luminaries will feature in this artefact. According to Reich “We are living in a time now when the worlds of concert music and popular music have resumed their dialogue” (Emmerson, 2007, p69)
Sampling will be used to underpin the stark relationship between nature and urban city culture as highlighted by Paul Miller in his authoritative account of sample culture “Sound Unbound.”
All of the compositional elements will be highlighted within the body of this proposal.
