CC1- Final Composition

Ah, good old Creative Computing. I actually surprised myself by liking my final composition, which is probably not a good sign because as far as I can tell your not meant to like musique concrete. This is probably because my song sounds more like an Eno influenced ambient work than a Varese influenced concrete work. Oh well, it may not sound like musique concrete, but it does have that sense of randomness that is typical in concrete. I have attached all my documentation so you can read about my inspirations etc (if you actually care). So here it is, my musique concrete, made solely using Spear and Pro Tools (and a Logic Pro plug-in).

AA1 Final Mix

This is the final mix of the song I recorded, which was a cover of the B52's Rock Lobster. I originally had two bands ready to record, but at the last minute they both fell through. As a result, I decided to record some of the students in the EMU, as well as a friend of mine. I composed the song myself, gave some people the music and gradually recorded and overdubbed. I wont go through the whole recording process, as I will attach my recording and production sheets. The one problem with doing a song I composed myself rather than a bands song, is that I continually kept adding more and more to the son, resulting in it being over 10 minutes long. I had great fun doing this song, although next time I would much rather get a band in and record them. I may have an opportunity to record the death metal band TzunTzu, (www.myspace.com/tzuntzu) in the next few months, which should be quite an experience. Overall I was pretty happy with the final mix of my song, although I wouldn't have minded a few more weeks to mix in (although I imagine I would say the same thing at the end of that).
Peace out yall
see you next month.
