Murky Eyes DEMO 1

snake skin draft #1

Runaway (DRAFT #4)

This project is called "Funk It Up!" This instrumental piece touches in many different genres of music. The song includes piano, guitar, organ, and banjo riffs to give it a country like feel. However, alternative bases, shakers, and beats are added in to give the piece more of a funky feel. There are no vocals included within this track. I also used volume automation, reverb, echo,and panning to make the song come to life. When wearing headphones, you can sense the piano riffs running from one side for your head to another. It is almost as if you are hearing the song live. I created some loops myself along with adding in some pre-made ones. The different instruments and beats work together to get people on their feet! Get funky with it!

Funk It Up! (Music Tech I Audio Control Project)

This clip of audio was taken from a past interview where lead band member, Tyler Joseph, discusses the meaning of his song called  "Kitchen Sink"--addressing his personal beliefs on the idea of purpose. His words are very moving and have inspired me to keep creating. I isolated his voice in the interview and mixed it to one of his more recent songs called "Polarize". Within the piece, I dissected his voice piece by piece and sent it through various special effect channels in Logic Pro X. His voice is composed of three different layers: the first layer is the raw audio with a bit of reverb, the second layer consists of adjustments on the audio equalizer and space designer, and the third layer goes through a channel of compressors, transposers, delay vocal, channel EQ, tape delay, suppressors, exciters, and DeEsser (which manipulated the audio's frequency and sensitivity.)For the music portion itself, several edits have been made on the "Polarize" track. This was my first time using the Phaser function on Logic Pro X. The effect allowed be to manipulate the output of the track, the LFO, the feedback, and the sweep.
