The soundtrack of the Dune movie
This film music clip uses magnificent scenes from Dune. The 
music method is separated from the traditional music mode, some 
sound effects and electronic synthesizers are used to create an 
atmosphere. This music does not emphasize the melody line, but 
adopts a minimalist model. The whole project only uses four 
chord cycles, and on this basis, changes are made, with ups and 
downs. At the same time, the place where the sand dunes appear 
ushers in a climax, and the sand dunes become a scene that 
connects the whole arrangement ideas.
The most prominent part is the simulation of string music. I found 
many different timbres to lay the groundwork, making its layers 
more comfortable and rich in listening. In the middle part, I 
designed some exotic notes according to the color and elements of 
the picture to add a different atmosphere.
Therefore, in the sense of listening, the audience can pay more 
attention to the pictures. Sometimes, the film and sounds can only 
capture one and form a deep memory for the audience. Therefore, 
I think that music is an auxiliary function for this scene, so that the 
audience can have a deeper understanding and memory of the 
pictures. It tells the audience where is the key scene and where is 
the emotional direction of the whole segment.

Staring 
Whether it's our appearance or our body, every moment we 
receive judgments from others. In this society, there are too many 
so-called standards to restrain women. Fat, dark skin, tattoos and 
exposed clothing are unacceptable. People will stare. Whether you 
go shopping, go to school, or just walk home, people will stare 
and whisper. This kind of gaze brings harm to women invisibly. 
My friends around me often ask me if they are too fat and ugly, or 
whether they are not good enough, so they want to have plastic 
surgery as expected. But I always say, try to get rid of others' 
opinions. There is only one life time, others' views can only be a 
reference, and your own heart is the real answer. We need to get 
rid of this incorrect gaze. Maybe we can't change the public's 
perception, but we can slowly abandon our concern for others' 
views from the bottom of our hearts. It will be difficult and take 
time, but we need to work hard to get rid of this gaze and accept 
ourselves from the bottom of our hearts, the imperfect ones. 
In order to express such vague boundaries and emotions, I visited 
shopping malls and supermarkets, sampled voices, and made 
special treatment so that those voice will sound more hazy. At the 
same time, I conceived some elements about women being 
constrained and stared at, so I added the sound of breathing, the 
sound of scraping clothes, the sound of breaking glass, the sound 
of tearing paper, and so on. After adding these elements, my 
arrangement will become richer and more conducive for the 
audience to think about this picture and element.

I’m Falling In Love With You
This project is aimed to depict the inner heart thinkings when 
people suddenly fall in love with others. A nice lover will 
gradually help people to find a healthy way to heal the pain and 
stress. But this process is unpredictable under most of 
circumstances, what people need to do is to find the determination 
and trust through the relationship. If the couple both hold the faith 
and do not hesitate when facing some obstacles, they will find the 
right pattern of living with one another after all.
I’m Falling In Love With You is and acoustic song made with 
Logic Pro X, the arrangement contains with vocal, double bass, 
sound pad, pad, piano and drums. This song is in 8/12 beat that 
makes the whole song more swing than 4/4 and adds special 
loving ambient on hearing. The chord progression varies every 
sentences and repeat after the paragraph ends, that enriched the 
structure and convey the feeling of changing but steady toward the 
audience. The source of piano comes from Kontakt Pieces, drums 
from Addictive Drums and Superior Drums and double bass from 
Trilian. For mixing, I use Waves, FabFilter, Valhalla DSP, etc.

Play Your Role
Play Your Role is a combinational style of funk, electric and pop 
songs. This song contains a girl after being hurt by a man who 
cheats and play with her feelings. She escapes her emotions and 
pretends that she does not care about everything. But she 
gradually grows up, transforms into a person who living for 
herself, and becomes stronger in her heart. In the first paragraph, 
play your role represents that the girl is still hoping the guy will 
come back to be her boyfriend and it is her begging from the inner 
heart. She hides her own feelings under the sentence. The second 
paragraph depicts that she has recognized the reality and she does 
not care what ridiculous role the boy will play anymore. Thus, this 
song is more of an experience of a girl who goes out of the 
trauma. And it also present myself, or to say, it is the portray of me 
two years ago and now.
In the second paragraph of this song, I changed the rhythm by 
adding an electric guitar and change the drum beats. This intend 
for audience to feel the growing process of the lyrics and balance 
the intensity of the song. The sources of song comes from 
Kontakt, Omnisphere, Serum, Battery 4 and Alchemy. For mixing, 
I use Waves, FabFilter, Valhalla DSP, etc.
