Maybe we can try to hide in the bush, then throw a rope to climb the wall? No wait, we don't have a rope... Or throw a rock on the other side to distract them? It seems there's no rocks around here...

Challenge:
Pizz Off: Write an entire piece for strings, using the pizzicato technique for every instrument throughout the entire piece.

Sneaking Past The Guards

Starting the second week with a bit more of a romantic era piece.

My dance prompt today was the sixth port de bras! This port de bras includes some interesting twisting and bending motions. There are also bigger movements from the rest of the body than with other port de bras.

My composer quest prompt today was "The Forgot Beats". The goal of this challenge is to create a piece where the melody begins on beats 2 or 3 of a measure.

Enjoy!

21 Day Challenge - Day 8 - Sixth Port De Bras

I had fun making this one! It's a chiptune overworld theme. :)

Overworld Theme

I failed yesterday :( and almost do it again but, I tried and maybe I invented a new rule: busy days I compose with Studio One patters electronic music. Two things I don't do a lot...

My homage to Dr. Mario/Mario Bros. :)

Smooth Line

Had very little time to compose my track for day 8 of #21DaysofVGM, so I chose a short challenge "Sweet, sweet victory" - to write a short celebratory fanfare after completion of a battle.
Not entirely satisfied about the result, but still happy to be able to compose something new everyday.

Day 8 of #21DaysofVGM 2020

The challenge of the day:
Music Box: Compose a piece for a music box.

I have decided to make it a bit more interesting for myself: 
* Every day I would need to compose in a different key 
* Every day I would need to use a different library and ONLY that library

Today’s track is in D# Major and I used Native Instruments’ Kontakt Factory Library’s Music Box

Day 8 of #21DaysofVGM 2020

No time to make anything substantial today. Here is a tune I came up with in May that I have only just thought of a melody for. It is supposed to conjure images of lush green forests on bright summer days next to babbling brooks.

I had FFXII in mind when I thought of this as I was walking through a wood near where I live.

#21DaysofVGM - Day 8 start with a drum beat and see where it takes you.. I've used no fancy vst's here and would love to spend more time on this idea but here's what happens in an hour.

Day 8 of the summer #21DaysofVGM

——
For the moment the ship can’t fly so you take the tracker and follow the signal. You hope it’ll lead somewhere to grab parts for the ship. You make your way through the alien foliage, hiding when you can from the strange chittering that seems to follow. You finally make it to clearing where the signal led. A large alien structure lays in ruins before you. Maybe there’s something you can use.

I exported this as a song of sorts leaning into these scenes but I was trying out some interactive audio. The drums could play when everything is clear but the other instruments could come in as you get closer to your destination.

21 Days of VGM Day 8 Summer 2020

Today's challenge was to start with drum loops to modify later and to play the rest of the piece on top. Decided to go with a little flute and piccolo improvisation from my studio, which was a blast to do!

21 Days of VGM - Day 8

As I did previously with the "start with a loop" #21DaysofVGM challenge, I asked Siri to pick a random number for me and used whatever loop that belonged to. I quite like this for some puzzle-time music, maybe the oh-so-popular "Hacking Minigame" so many games have nowadays haha! Please enjoy!
