STS349Sauce - Assignment 1 - Matthew Mierzwa

Played around with different octaves of the Off-World Strings instument pack. Thought a lot about blade runner and interstellar while I worked on this.

STS349 - Assignment 1b - Matthew Mierzwa: Tried to give my track a more defined beginning middle and end. Altered the sound from the first one - also tried to make an element of "twinkling lights" in  the background of the beginning and end. I tried to keep the middle of this version in line with how the previous one sounded. I also changed the 'interval' setting during the beginning and end of the songs to give it an interesting "wave-y" feeling to it.

STS349Sauce - Matthew Mierzwa - This assignment was to take an audio sample and create a song out of it. The audio is of my roommate and I joking around talking about what kinds of beers we like - showcasing a typical awesome conversation between the two of us. After recording the clip I started to play around with cutting portions out, altering time lengths, pitches, and the different kinds of warping.

STS349Sauce - Assignment 4 - Matthew Mierzwa

Had a fun time learning drums! After playing around with the drum rack and different drum sets - I ended on using the Sensor drum kit because of my love for synth sounds. Started playing and found a little groove that I liked after changing the settings a little bit! Once I finished I felt like the song still needed something more to it - I wanted something light and synth-y in it, so I went and searched around eventually landing on: Snow Peaks Arp. Wanted to learn how to have two tracks playing at once since our constraint was lifted - so I thought it was a fun touch to have playing around the song in the backgroud without taking away from the drums. At the end this song reminded me of squidward's "Alone at last" world - I'm not sure why but after listening to the completed version that was the first thing that popped into my head!
