Mitchell Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hello Young Composers, Thanks for your wonderful comments on my last contribution to the forum. I'm back with a new piece. This is my first attempt at writing prog, which is the primary style of music I've listened to since I graduated music school. Something I would have never considered myself able to do 5 years ago, and suddenly I find myself capable of now the first time I'm in a DAW for even longer. So I'm immensely proud with how it turned out. It starts off as a basic transcription and interpretation of the original. Then I start using some motifs from the original in slightly different or surprising places and reorchestrate. There is a solo section. After that I reintroduce the theme but I take more liberties with repeats and dynamics. There's a little break down. Then in my signature style I deconstruct the piece into an ostinato and vamp it into a blazing finish. I scoured the internet for free software and came upon Waveform Free by Tracktion (highly recommend it after doing this, I learned it pretty easily and so far it can do everything the professional software I used in university can do) The bass is the simplest least 80s dance preset I could find. The drums are a combination of loops included (I got lucky there was one in the right tempo), audio from my Yamaha psr 273 keyboard room drumset voice. Guitar is a twangy FM synth with a phaser. The first 2 organ tones to appear are presets with a phaser. The 3rd organ tone to appear is a preset with chorus. Here's the original to compare: https://youtu.be/YXxqgUrWHzA Here's mine: https://soundcloud.com/wxo/contents-may-be-hot Enjoy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
