Deductive Treason

For Special Topics class during my 2nd to last semester, I decided to make a rap/hiphop kinda beat with heavy usage of effects, panning, and automation. Everything you hear is manipulated (sometimes extremely) samples I gathered. 
I also added various clips from youtube. Particularly Carl Sagan's voice in some spot parts. The more "quiet" parts are supposed to be reserved for vocals. I was going to make a chorus with me singing during the horn/flute sections but being in an apartment with wall to wall neighbors right now doesn't really allow me to currently do that. So I guess this is the "first draft" of the song. Instrumental only.

Enjoy...

And if anyone wants to use this beat please just ask me.

Here is another track for my Spring 2020 (COVID) semester at Bloomsburg University. Of course with everything going on I had to make a happy song (Hehe).

I think this genre is darkwave? Though not too sure, I never dove too deep into that, but I do like Ulver, which is kind of the influence of this song. Not exactly the same, but drawing from influences of some industrial, dark, kind of futuristic, dystopian themes...

Maybe think Blade Runner, or 12 Monkeys, something like that.. I'm thinking of making a video for this song as well as the other one.

This one is a little more involved and longer, kind of like a story I guess. The first "half" of the song is the City creeping and rustling around. I like to think the 2nd half is when the listener departs from that setting, or the city finally sleeps, similar to how this pandemic has made places that once used to be packed with visitors mere ghost towns now.

Indecision in Rhythmic Cycles is used from a very short, simple poem I wrote earlier in the semester which goes like this...

"Pumping, churning
Patience burning
Excitement fading
Will we be craving?
A hunger at times...
More than ever before
Or not at all..."
