Day 4 Playlist -- VGMA July Challenge 2020

Had very little time to write Day 1 challenge, but here it goes :)
Nautical shanty in D Dorian

#21daysofVGM - Day 1: Sea Shanty in Dorian

My entry for the 2nd day of #21DaysofVGM. I found it so hard to build a "Game over-try again" feeling within 10 seconds!
I chose a Locrian mode and borrowed a chord from Aeolian to end it all together with an extra mysterious vibe.
Had a lot of fun in the process :)

#21DaysofVGM - Day 2: Dissonant Game Over

For my day 3 entry on #21DaysofVGM, I decided to use a compound 12/8 time waltz only using pizzicato strings. I also modulated from C major to D major in the B section.
I am having way more fun than I thought I would :)

Soundscaping suspense

Day 4: Openness

Today's theme was not-as-often used intervals in a specific direction. I  chose the descending major 7th as my interval for melodic inspiration.

21 Days of VGM - Day 4

My most messed up track so far. So one is super weird and hard to listen to.
I used Cinecamples' Ancient Bones library that has a bunch of atonal crazy instruments like - the Death Whistle, the Trident Shell and the Femur Trumpet.

The challenge of the day:
Something Strange & Wonderful: Write a melody using an instrument you’ve never used before whose name you aren’t even 100% sure how to pronounce. Did you know there’s an instrument called a “Crwth?” Those 11th-century Welsh musicians really knew how to rock. Good look finding a sample library with THAT included.

I have decided to make it a bit more interesting for myself:
* Every day I would need to compose in a different key
* Every day I would need to use a different library and ONLY that library

Day 4 of #21DaysofVGM 2020

My entry for day 4 of #21DaysofVGM.
Based on the challenge "The Attack of the Drones", I used a single C on the bass for the entire track. I put a marching (kind of) rhythm and used Phrygian mode to give it a more exotic flavour. Very short piece.
Drones are an awesome and easy way to keep the same modal mood for the entire music :)

The Exotic March

#21DaysofVGM - Day 4: The Exotic March

My entry for day 5 of #21DaysofVGM. I used "The Name Game" challenge, limiting myself to write a melody with the letters in my full name that correspond to notes (and in the same sequence). 
In my case, believe it or not, I had 13 letters to use haha. A big compound full name finally pays off :)
Had to be kind of creative with the harmony (but not that much really).
