Description: Experimental house music. The melodic element was created by reversing an orchestral string sample.

Making music could be stressful. Making this project is like constantly bashing my brain with sonic weapons. But I'm satisfied with the result (more mixing is needed though, and I have to extend this track beyond 3min). The entire process is trial and error. I try out different instruments, samples, effects and see whether they work or not, and slowly the music develops. In the process, I played around with my sampled Kontakt instrument that is designed to produce an array of industrial sounds. This turned out to be the metallic percussion that entered the song after the first drop. I also layered a Massive Hihat in the song. I'm tired now, I need some exercise.

Composed in 10th grade, April Euphoria is my attempt at blending classical house elements with modern sound design. I implemented 3D spacial audio on various musical elements. Please wear headphones for maximum surround effect. The music was selected and showcased on Berklee Online's course website by Dennis DeSantis.

Production:
This track contains a variety of sonic elements: digital piano, synthesized bassline, sampled guitar, arpeggiated pluck, warped vocal, modulated supersaw, etc. Audio FX are sprinkled throughout the music, such as crash cymbals, risers, down lifters, and reverberated percussions. In addition, various parameter automation is applied to panning, delay, filter cutoff, sidechain compression, etc.
