I come up with the chord first, the purpose of this sound is to try to represent my personal feeling in this period, sad, alone, etc. I used many unique instruments for the chord and drum, to provide various and deep sounds. There are two lead melodies, similar but not the same, hope you can enjoy them.

Sound Composition

For this sound, it basically talks about one of my favorite movies, Dying to Survive. I wrote this review several years ago as soon as I watched the movie. This movie touched me very deeply, and I highly recommend watching it!!!

Audio Essay

This sound clip includes 3 parts, 4 bar intro, 4 bar middle, and 4 bar outro. This is my first time playing music so I wish that I can make them as different as possible, therefore, for each part, I used different drum kits. I create the general pattern first and add or delete some elements for each bar. I listened to the clip over and over again to make them sound harmonious. Hope that not sounds terrible.

Drum Programming

Dong Dong Ding Ding
WHAT!!???

This is the second week that I learned how to make a sound. You will hear the sound sampling from water, plastic bag, keyboard, bell, engine, door close, microwave close, and the phone drop on the floor. The whole track only uses sampling from those sounds, and I made a transition bar to reduce the sense of fragmentation between each section. 

Hope you will enjoy it.

Rhythmic Noise

In this track, I've used the Beap in Max on Ableton, to make a unique tone, along with the basic drums track. For the tone, I used 2 Oscillators, 1 LFO, 1 Envelope, 1 Filter. Hope that sounds rhythmic.

Bass And Drums

The two synth patches were made by analog and wavetable. The idea of the main melody comes up when I was showering.🚿  The lead sound was created by analog and aimed to have a higher and sharper tone.🎶 The other synth patches were created by wavetable, to respond as a piano sound, and chord with a low voice, because I want to have a more distinct sound, sounds like two musicians talk to each other😘. I chose the note first, and find the fit tone. Hope that not sounds too terrible. 👍
