STS 349 SPRING 2020 FINAL ASSIGNMENT

Drums, guitar riffs, pianos, buildups, and a sick bass line make this track EXPLOSIVE.

Decided to download Komplete Start, and have been messing about with some of the sounds it comes with. Unfortunately, most of those experiments went basically nowhere, and I had to find a new idea to work with. Found a good piano in Komplete Kontrol and went from there.

The intro up to the tempo shift is pretty much final barring some sound adjustments. Everything after that is rough and incomplete. Don't know where it will end, but it will go somewhere.

The roughest rough draft to ever exist :(

Rough Copy

I like this I think i need to read more about chords and fix them up a bit and make the focus change from the five bare repeat to the Chords more dramatic. The chords originally had really harsh attack but that was mitigated with an auto filter. I fill like the voices and ocean sounds added for the third and forth sections was kinda a cop out but I like it anyway.

STS 349 SPRING 2020 FINAL ASSIGNMENT Draft

This piece was inspired by the 2011 movie Margin Call, set on the brink of the '08 recession in which a large banking company discovers before everyone else that the market is about to crash. The decision is made to unload all of their worthless assets by lying about their value, and in doing so they precipitate the fall of the economy. Much of the film is spent in conference rooms in the early morning before the crash, deliberating and planning as the shadow of the oncoming disaster looms. I wanted to capture that sense of unease and foreboding, which has returned during the pandemic - both because of the disease but also again due to the economy. 

Who's that ringing the phone?
