For this one, I used the analog synth for the chords and used two different wavetable synths to create the main melody and produce the call and response. I wanted to get playful with the way the synths talked to each other.

Call & Response

I decided to make more of an ambient track like something you might find in an Elder Scrolls or Witcher game. I played around a lot with unique sounds and combining melodies and components that would usually feel a little disjointed. I also tried to work with layering a lot of different instruments for deep, interesting sounds.

Sound Composition

Just a recounting of a personal story that I find very hard to forget.

Audio Essay

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea really what this is. I just played around with things until I liked the way it sounded.

Drum Programming

I wanted this project to have a really chill, almost cute sound to it. The sounds I used include a variety of random strums on my Kalimba (I didn't record any actual pure notes, just ran my hand across the keys and hoped for the best), nails tapping glass, pills clinking in a glass bottle, two small glass figurines colliding, some clicking noises I made, and a number of high pitched whistling noises I made with my teeth.

Rhythmic Noise

My custom synth ended up sounding really spooky, but I vibed with it, so I made an equally as unsettling drum track to go with it.
