STS349Sauce - Assignment 9 - Final Countdown

This final assignment consists of two separate parts. The first part consists of a series of sounds derived from a local pier on a Sunday morning, along with a few automotive sounds + MIDI bass instruments . It then shifts over to a new soundscape that consists of several different automotive sounds (both electronic and mechanical), along with random clips from a birthday party and other occasions. Along with the use of MIDI piano keys/corvaire drum kit, these were all mixed around loosely and BPM varied throughout.

Tried some automations and sidechaining. Nice melody with a shamisen

For our final assignment, I thought it would be fun to do a mash up of some of my past assignments. I chose only three. I tried to polish them up, add effects, and put any other instruments I wanted to include. My other pieces have been two minutes or less, so I wanted this one to be a little longer. I tried going for a time length between 3:20-3:30 because I feel most songs I listen to are around that long and wanted it to be, what I thought, was an average time length for a "song."

STS349Sauce Assignment 9- Bandicoot

"The main theme of this song is looking forward and moving into a new chapter of life with a hopeful eye. A goal of ‘Arm around shoulders’ is to be slightly haunting with the lyrics, yet provide the listener with an explosive beginning, but a calming end. The process was done through first editing “Charles Bradley - Save the world” to have the trumpets come in later and be the catchy-est part of the song. Alongside “Save the world” we added a guitar part that adds flavor to the intro. The song then shifts over to the “Milton Nascimento - Minas” where the lyrics both haunt and intrigue the audience. The song then begins the calm guitar portion. We originally wanted a synth bass to go in the background of the guitar, but went on to find a beautiful 3 high notes on the deepmind synth to add that flowed beautifully with the guitar. The song then replays the lyrics of “Minas” .. and then ends with us whistling to the tune of the track. Making our voices the last part of the last song of this class. A beautiful ending." - Matthew

I used the piece "Luther Vandross - Never Too Much" as inspiration to make a semi house song out of it. I hope you enjoy this piece.

STS349Sauce Assignment 9 -  Never Too Much Sauce

Used 5 tracks. 2 piano tracks played and recorded, one bass guitar plugin was used on a midi track, one percussion track, and one recorded vocal track. Poem was written by me, read by a friend.

STS349Sauce- Assignment 9: Fresh air poetry

This piece is for my final assignment of my Electronic Music in Practice class. We were tasked with making a piece that uses the info and knowledge we gained throughout the semester.

I wanted to go for a slower, relaxed sound with the piece. The first thing I did with this piece is come up with the chord progression using a piano MIDI instrument. After that, I wanted to come up with some percussion. I struggled with that so instead I chose a drum loop I found on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BNcYhdoPWo). After I had those two parts down I made a simple bass line that outlines the roots of the piano chords using an upright bass MIDI instrument. The last part was coming up with the flute melody that comes in a little later in the track.

STS349Sauce - Assignment 9

a lot of times, i've tried to make a synth lead that sounded like the stars. i think i did it this time!

i tried to use some of the effects i found out about over the course of this class in this one - the "lead" synth uses cabinet, the noise makes a lot of use of amp, so on. 
honestly the thing i got the most out of this class was the space that it gave us, where like-minded people were able to sit in a room and talk about whatever (and make whatever!), listen to each other's stuff and watch each other improve, and collaborate too. speaking from experience it is usually very hard to get musicians to collaborate. we're like cats.

thank you everyone and prof. rothenberg. have a good summer!
