Composition 1 – Final Version

composition-1-final

This composition is an exploration into how recorded sounds can be manipulated and processed, with the aim to make the samples sound entirely different.

The aim of using the paper sample was to convert the sound and focus on the lower frequencies it produced. By slowing the sample down and taking the bpm down to a slower tempo it create a sweeping effect and adding reverb and energising the sample emphasised this.

The water sample has higher pitched frequencies and so to emphasise these frequencies pitch shifting was used to take the sample up by an octave, and in some cases two octaves. The use of sustain and echo was incorporated to create the echo effect which had a rhythmic effect when chopped and repeated.

The use of automation has been implemented to fade samples in and out of eachother, and to apply different dynamics to create texture.
