The instrument used for the dance composition was a piano named whirly, this was synthetic as it created its own sound for a dance clip. The notes I used were

For the horror composition, I used piano and stayed at a lower octive and used flats and sharps within this piece.  I also watched an inspirational video of a horror film that had horror music in it that could help me with my composition. I found the film music on YouTube, this was a good way to find new ideas.

For the drums composition, I used a deep tech drum kit, I used a beat that can fit into my dance piece, this is synthetic. I used a deep tech drum kit instead of a normal acoustic drum kit as it allowed me to use percussion within the drum composition.

For the chord composition, I used a synthesizer for it. I used sharps and flats and went from a lower Bb to a higher Bb. This is a pentatonic scale that was used in this piece.

piano chord

In this chord composition, i used repetiion, rhythmic diminution. I also used a canon effect. This was improved as more notes were used which helped its development.

Chord improved composition

For this horror composition I used repetition on and off all the way through it, it started to change key and the notes also changed at 0.12 seconds, this is what made the most impact. The drums were used as part of the accompaniment this showed that I have developed this composition more. At 0.14 seconds I changed to a lower key on the piano to show I used the transposition and variation technique during this time until it went back up to the key it started on. I also used contrast, this was shown most of the way through this composition as the piano was the loudest instrument which meant that it was more affective for the composition to sound like a horror piece of music.
