Project Synopsis - Self Reflection

Movie Soundtrack 

Inspiration wise I listen to some of the Interstellar soundtrack, as well as 

listening to a few horror soundtrack. 

I wanted to make something that sounded unsure of itself, as if waiting for an 

unknown occurrence. 

This both worked and did not work, I went slow with the overall song, bringing in some interesting plugins to try and add atmosphere, altered the EQ here and there to lengthen or muffle sounds that I liked and forgot to save at essential moments...

Plugins used: 

• Ringing FM Lullaby 
• ES2 electronic kick drum 
• ES2 Snare 
• ES2 Toms 
• ES2 High hat 
• ES2 Cymbol 
• Bright Panning Strings 
• Chimes (Hello) 
• Signal M 1
• Signal M 2
• Needles

Creating this track was fun, but unfortunately something went wrong after bouncing 

and uploading it onto SoundCloud, not only did some of the sounds change, but 

also I found that a wavy sound had occurred after uploading it. I remember altering a plugin at one stage to give it an uncertain feel, but after uploading it the sound exaggerated until it would probably make you feel more dizzy rather than anything else. I went back onto the original track itself but by that time a glitch must have occurred or I did not save it correctly because half of the sounds had changed, and the annoying wave was nowhere to be seen.


CAUTION

Note to self 

- 

Save EVERYTHING, each time you do something new, SAVE AS

also if glitches and problems occur after, then you will have a safe stepping stone to go back to, 

instead of losing half of your hard work, thus ruining the rest. 

Next time I'm going to plan ahead instead of just 'winging it'. 

Spontaneity is essential, but so is aiming and knowing what you're doing. 

If I ever do something similar I will watch at least 3 or so movies 

around the area I want to mimic, take notes on them and then look at techniques and methods to reproduce what it is that I want. 

This could include researching the soundtracks themselves, maybe even the artists 

and and how they choose to perform and edit/record their work.

Mimic until you find your own.
