Fish, and fish

Featured Replies

Hello, 

Just when I walked along the fish market, I have came up with this theme and developed a choral piece. It is originally a solo recording only but I remixed it with tune-shifter libraries in Cakewalk. It is sort of a free form creation so I don't have any scores for it.

I am not sure what do you think about this soundtrack, but I really wish you can enjoy it. The pictures are drawn by me to sort of give a description of the story.

Fun fact, the "dub-dub" sound are real sounds recorded in the original recording, when my mother was chopping some ingredients in the background. I think it is quite interesting to include in this context, so I kept it.

Thank you.

Interesting. This borders on musique concrète to me and as such it's an acerbically amusing piece. The interplay of parts/tracks was engaging and you judged the amount of sound effects well (the bubbling; chopping) though I think you might have made more of that at the end; the sound fading out and/or dropping down in pitch as it ramps down.

I felt the third straight repetition (at just before the 1'0" mark) came over VERY SLIGHLY boring. It wasn't boring as such and didn't make me want to switch off but it may be possible to develop it a bit, perhaps by adding in new sounds (cutlery on plates; louder more insistent chopping; background talking as in a restaurant/family at dinner...just suggestions, there are plenty of possibilities) that could lead to a fade-out at the end.

Well done and thanks for the listen. It isn't often we get 'sound organisation' compositions here.

@QuinnThat could be a possibility! Regarding the repetition, that's part of the story since for every repetition there is a fish missing from the tank. But I do agree there can be more variation at the end, and perhaps start another contrasting passage after it, like few short chapters as a collection. Perhaps I should continue it as a challenge. Much appreciated for your listen!
