RoeTaKa - Inspiration Pieces

[RoeTaKa]

One of my projects at university is to create pieces of music based off a selection of literature pieces, art and sound. It's an inspiration project and we could interpret the material as we saw fit. I created two pieces based off an art piece and a sound piece.

Feathers and Fins - This is based off an art piece by Escher, with birds and fish in a pattern inside a diamond shape, almost a yin and yang http://www.teachengineering.org/collection/cub_/lessons/cub_images/cub_air_lesson08_activity2_image1.jpg. I wanted to use acoustic instruments, strings and synthesis to create a theme that explored the piece as a whole and individually.

Searching for a Star - This is based off a sound piece of a synth creating star like textures, some sort of feedback loop. I wanted to use orcestration and synthesis to create a theme of exploration for space, developing into a theme and being more about discovery.

It was a fun project and I really enjoyed making these pieces.

Feathers and Fins -

Wow, simply that was my response. This piece is amazing, though there was one flaw, the ambiance was a little loud starting at "1:50". The ending also gave me chills. Remarkable

Searching For A Star -

From the start I felt like I was listening to a "Vangelis" tune. Very cool

Thank you very much, hah! You're spot on with Vangelis I was listening to the Blade Runner soundtrack before doing that piece and actually wrote that in my documentation., particularly "Spinner Ascent".
