LISTENER BEWARE: This is NOT music, but rather an immersive sound experience.
A couple of years ago I was taking a course in Sound Design for movies, tv and video games. It was fascinating and I really learned a lot about how important sound (or silence) is to the viewing experience. One of the assignments for the class was to create a soundscape that very clearly tells a story. We could only use music if it was an essential piece of the narrative and there needed to be a clear passage of time and space. The results of this project were amazing! Some students had you walking through shopping malls or carnivals, others took place in homes or schools, and still others whisked you away to exotic locales like a space colony. Well, I immediately had an idea of what I wanted to create, and after a lot of work, I was pretty psyched with the end result (and my professor liked it too. :D
So it's often said on this site, "I was cleaning out my hard drive and found...." and now it's my turn to say it. My poor little MacBook Pro is on it's last legs, hanging on by a thread and before I administer the Final Rite I did a full back-up to an external drive, which means that I spent a lot of time sifting through memory lane - and I came across this.
I'm posting it because, well, for the same reason you all post all the stuff you create. lol....honestly, I found this exercise to be extremely helpful in learning to layer and work with panning to really create a full, rich sound experience. I highly recommend doing this sometime just for fun, especially if you're trying to learn how to use a new DAW.
And....enough outta me. I've got a bunch of new music in the works, but can't seem to finish anything at the moment, so....
Enjoy this evening walk. I highly (HIGHLY) recommend headphones.
