COM 381 Soup Assignment 11: Flutter

I made this piece with multiple sessions of work and utilizing almost exclusively ableton sounds and effects, besides for a couple of the drum sounds that I imported from a drum kit online. I knew I wanted to make a trap beat to compare to my first pieces for this class, so I wanted to find an instrument that was pleasing to hear in a loop throughout the whole beat. I first started with the jazz master instrument and made the main loop/melody heard in the background. I added the 808 bass after, making it contrast with the melody by moving in opposite directions but resolving at the same point. After this, I added the drum loop (first starting with the snare + kick, then adding the clap and hihats. Percs were added at the very end for finishing touches). Once this was done, I wanted to add more to the melody without making it too busy, so I lowered it an octave and played the same loop under a different instrument. At this point the beat started to sound repetitive. I didn't mind because i feel like the simplicity was making it a very good freestyle beat, so instead of changing up any melodys or having a switchup, I decided that I could reset the vibe with breakdowns everytime it got too repetitve. This made it more of a cypher beat and definitely broke the repetitive feeling. After this, I sidechained the kick and 808s and eq'd the rest of the track to make sure that everything sounded in balance. Sound effects for the breakdown segments and at other moments were added in at this later stage to add a little more flavor. This was also one of the first tracks where I spent a lot of time compressing the drums, and I feel like it made a big difference in the quality of the individual hits. Using the mixing skills I learned in this class to fine tune the sounds and instruments to play how I heard them in my head felt incredibly rewarding!

COM381 SOUP - CYPHER BEAT assignment 11

A song where i was experimenting with trying to create a certain feeling through tone. This one was made by layering sounds and adding audio effects to the master track to create a unified tone to evoke feeling.

Com381 SOUP-Assignment 11-Etherium

Before the semester had even started, the main melody of this song had stuck itself in my head when I was messing around with my keyboard at home. I've tried several times to incorporate it into the songs I've made over the course of this class, but just wasn't able to, either because of restrictions, or other song ideas being a better fit for the assignment. Now, I've finally got the opportunity to make the song I've wanted to make all this time. It still doesn't sound exactly how I wanted it to, aside from the melody, I had no other real ideas for what I wanted this to sound like. I certainly wasn't expecting it to sound so dreamy-like, but after much trial and error with the bass and electric guitar, as well as the spontaneous inclusions of the choir and bell instruments and the laughing track sampled from the video game Deltarune, I'm very happy with what I've made. I believe this is the best song I've made so far :]
