Free Melody

I had a lot of fun with this project. I got my best friend DJ to come down from Red Deer, we got his drum set, I had my guitars and bass and went to my church to do some recording! My dad helped me mic the kit and set a good mix, then DJ and I had super fun recording a song I wrote. I used Adobe Audition to mix the tunes.

The song, entitled "Free" is about my friend of mine who had some trouble in his younger years but pulled through it. I mostly just put an effort into working on some nice musical fusion, haha pardon my singing hahaha!

Here it is!

Creating Life

The project is all about finding sound that exists in our world and compositing is together to create a new sound. Life. The goal was to take the sounds and create the harmonies of a new life form.

For my creature, I chose to take sounds of water and earth movie, vibrations and pulses and create a life form that exists within his environment. I focused on the idea that like a bat underwater, it would use sonic resonances to see and move, to kill and trap.

For my sounds I used: bubble blown in milk, earthquakes, fire crackling, stone grinding, a submarine resurfacing, a deep see diver and running water. I spent a lot of time changing the pitches, adding reverbs and flangers, as well as reversing and inversing the tones.

Here is my new life in its environment.
