ThricEyellation was my
first
project using computer music production software. Throughout the
semester I played around with several programs including Garageband and
Logic Pro. For this one, I produced original music with a Midiman
midi keyboard. I created a sonic-glue blanket of sorts. I
didn't want to start anything I couldn't finish (with my obsessively
contemplative nature), and an improvised keyboard jam session turned
out to be a unique transitory tool I could use later to be the
signifier of audio-death in my final project, 'unend'. It was
after this project that I decided I'd stick creating the life and
deaths to my own unique music rather than using redundant packaged
software melody-loops. The piece's two-track guitar riff (which
was my first self-recording from last semester in Postmodern Gothic)
was intentionally placed in a fashion (in the latter half of the middle
of the airy improv/midi keyboard track) that would leave the piece
constructed with two real-time recordings without loop constructions;
the final product sounding reflectedly unsettled...one of the many main
moods that remain in any of my own obsessive compulsive thoughts of
human-death. It is by this mentality that I successfully confused
the objective nature of the music.
