project 6




Inspiration. My loop is over flowing with other's ideas. If you have ever seen the movie "American Tail," you will have heard the song "Somewhere Out There." My melody is an more airy version of the opening to "Somewhere Out There." I used my sine wave for my version of the melody. For the under-lay, an acoustic nylon playing an F# chord. My saw wave, sounding more like a string instrument, floats throughtout the piece playing a simple F#.

  1. I like it! Although the sine wave is a little high pitched for my liking but it works. It sort of reminds me of being lost out in the wilderness or something. Everything really blends together espcially because you bring in all the sounds at different times instead of starting them all at once. The acoustic guitar was also a very good touch to the loop. I like how the ending just sort of fades away into nothing too.

  2. this is a little weird. the parts don't seem to agree very well. they sound very cool individually, but it's kind of dissonant. sounds that you made are nice, though. not bad, but not your best.

  3. I love the song Somewhere Out There! i Think the guitar/string instrument could have been a little louder, but I do like the ending. Didn't we play part of the song in band at Nessacus?

  4. If you are going to transcribe a melody, then you have to do something about the chord progression that goes with it. You don't have to copy it exactly, but the melody does demand certain chord changes, and I think you missed a few important ones here.
    The sythns are another story. Beautiful sounds. excellent work on the synths. they are lush, full of character and depth. Great job.
