Progress: Lesson 5

I worked on my Blogg and the decided to record the sound bites at home on my grand piano (personal preference). I decided to take out the ending/death. It takes a lot away from the piece as a whole from a story standpoint and in regards to minimalism

This is my final piece:

Lesson 3 and 4

Lesson 3:

I worked on the last section; death. In my mind I view death as the mind being at piece. There for I want the end to be somewhat siren but short like a quick death. The sound needs to be descending and legato to sound tragic.

Notes: F5,E,D,C,B#, A, F1
(On an eight octave)

Lesson 4:

I worked on my Blogg and started recording sound bites.

Progress: Lesson 2

I want this section to be the loudest because it leads to the impact which would be a big explosion/fireball. However I cannot seem to finish it or find a smooth transition to death. I start with the C finally fading out and transitioning to the next chord. The next few notes are a remix on a piece called alberesque which I use as a inspiration for my music as it is a very fast song.

*Insert Alberesque sound bite*
*Insert third sound bite*

I have transitions to this part yet.

Progress: Lesson 1

Progress:

Based on some music miss played for us, the main notes I will be using will be A and C.
The music should tell a story of when the people are getting on the space ship and the calm before the storm of which is there impending doom. There will be four stages. Getting on the ship, on the ship, impending doom, death. The first and last will be the shortest.
For the getting on the ship I started in out with a high C being repeated. Then I played A# F# C# G#. I thought of this pattern by playing around with some serialism we did in class as a basis to create the sounds you hear on an aircraft before your departure and/or descend.

*Insert first sound bite* 

Then for part two I wanted to create an ascending sound so I repeated the notes C & D with the third note alternating. At the same time the C key begins to slow down into cords as a transition into the next part the 'impending doom'

*Insert second sound bite*

What I see:
A space ship in space, proceeding with a study when there is an engine failure. Everything falls into cause they are heading towards impending doom at the sun. The ship starts to melt away they are consumed in a ball of fire and perish.
