Assignment Brief Create a minute and a half of music for an LED light show installation and follow the narrative instructions given for the shape and tone of the music.
For this assignment, we had a choice between two themes; Deep Space or Over the Rainbow. As the Star Wars fanatic that I am, I chose to do the Deep Space Installation. Intentions I wanted to dive back into electronic music as I knew it would be appropriate for the guidelines given and that I could mix and master it to a high standard. My initial response was to use radio waves and frequencies as a running motif throughout the piece, alluding to the sci-fi themes. My first draft included two major "drops" and used ascousmatic sounds to replace other instruments e.g. a crash symbol was replaced by the sound of smashing glass. Edits and Re-submission On the Edit, I had feedback to get rid of the harsher sounds (in particular the glass smashing) and to make it feel more ambient and spacious in the beginning. I had to rework the piece a bit, getting rid of the piano loops and replacing it with pad like synths and arpeggiators. Looking back, this was definitely the right move and made the piece feel more like "floating in space" rather than being "trapped in space".
