Above The Stars

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0688: Sign Up. The Assignment: Interpret a routine public sign as a musical instruction.

At the end of a short cul-de-sac in a residential neighborhood in the town where I live, is a yellow triangular road sign with the words “END” (see image). Something about the finality of the words and the placement of it in front of the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, makes me a little sad and a touch melancholic every time I see it. Especially when the air is misty or foggy, which happens often along the coast. It’s as if the sign is trying to prevent one from further experiencing more joy, hope or happiness. The solid red secondary sign adds to that feeling. I tried to convey that thought with this piece.

This was created using Ableton Live using Native Instruments Playbox, Slate+Ash Spectres, and a field recording from a local beach. Also used built-in reverbs and Spectral Resonator effects within the DAW.
