RoeTaKa Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapMagik Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoeTaKa Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 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".
