Production: Practicing Sound

In the first testing for sound John layered multiple instruments including piano's and synth effects to create an eerie atmosphere and feel to the music. He started by recording 'Twinkle Twinkle' and then changing the pitch, adding in fade outs and also extending and shortening certain notes. With this in place, he added 2 different synth effects including cosmic reflection and bondi breath. For the cosmic reflection he played the same notes that was played for the original track of 'Twinkle Twinkle', added in the fade out and also made the notes longer to match the first track. John then included bondi breath but played the chords, bent the pitch so that it sounded discordant.

Although John think this all worked well together, he doesn't think we will use it in our final outcome as we were hoping for something more subtle as there will be a recording of an exorcism over the top. This will be whispered so it would be better if we also had something quieter.

Even though John didn't like the original for our final outcome, he worked with it still and added a sample of emotional piano 3 which makes it sound more discordant and works effectively.

In the future John will use more samples to compose a piece of music because it can be subtly linked to what we are doing and will work better when it comes to editing and placing everything together. He has another idea to produce a falling piano motif which could possibly work if it is pitched high enough and also sounds discordant.
