DESCRIPTION: This piece was my absolute favorite piece to produce. I had a lot of fun with this assignment as I took a completely different route than any of my previous projects in the course. Having full creative freedom I wanted to produce something that was fun and lighthearted. After listening to some sample tracks, I came across a few that worked really well together. They ended up being the foundation of my piece and what really kick-started the 80s house theme the piece embodies. To create “Love is in the Air” I used both sample tracks and original tracks along with various audio effects to really sell the 80s vibe. If there is any musical piece I am proud of it is definitely this one as it turned out exactly how I wanted it to.

INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION: To create this audio piece I had to go to a random location of my choosing and record five different sounds that I heard. The goal of the piece was to try and either replicate the environment exactly as I heard it, or to make something completely radical with the tracks I recorded. I decided to create something different for the assignment by adding various audio effects, such as reverb, volume control, and pitch correction. This was my first time using Ableton Live, but not my first time recording and mixing tracks together.

DESCRIPTION: “Mad Scientist” is a collection of different sounds I recorded that are then mixed and edited. I recorded five different items and imported them into Pro Tools where I proceeded to use my knowledge of pitch correction, reverb, time shifts, and volume controls to mix the tracks. I chose to take this route because of the way they all sounded when edited. I started by putting reverb on one of the tracks and liked it so much I kept going with it. Eventually I found an audio track that sounded like electricity and decided to go with a mad scientist theme. This was my first time recording and mixing tracks together, and I was pleased with how this piece turned out.
