Collaborative Project - EP w/Madison

Image
See technical roles collaborative project here See Tyler collaborative project here Project (with Madison Kent): Create and release an EP with a music video. The EP will have three songs: 'Separated by Water', 'When I'm With You' and 'Meadows and Graves'.  Two songs were written by Madison (Separated by Water and When I'm With You) and the third song we wrote together (Meadows and Graves). We did this by having a common goal and clear idea of what the song was about which is the autistic experience from our perspective. I found it difficult as we had to communicate everything we were doing so we remained on the same page. This process meant that it took a lot longer to write the song which I found difficult as, when writing by myself, I do everything very quickly. Something we compromised on was the melody as Madison wanted to add harmonies and so we kept the melody more simple as to make this easier.  To prepare for recording, we practised for gigs and ...

Video Game Music

 My brother is making a game and he's relatively far through it. It's a clicker game but with slightly more to it as it basically has zombies coming towards a wall and the player has to click on the zombies to kill them and they can heal the wall as well as collect resources from the mine and this is all based on clicking things. They can also upgrade things. He wanted music for his game and gave me a specific brief on how he wanted it to work.  He wanted to have different levels of intensity depending on the amount of enemies on the screen and he wanted to have about 6 different 8 second loops per intensity level. The minimum amount of intensity levels would be around three (although there would probably be more) which means a minimum of 18 different loops to suit the intensity. He wants all of the loops to be able to naturally lead into any of the other loops so that it doesn't sound disjointed or strange.  He sent me four references of music that he wants it to be like...
