Chill by degrees [disquiet0538]
from Tuonela Hosted by Tuonela
By a strange bit of synchronicity (always sounds better than ‘coincidence’), I was already working on something inspired by this same concept. Very simple, just a short burst of sound culled from a work in progress, subjected to many passes through Audacity’s “Sliding Stretch” and further enhanced by modified sections of drone sourced from the stretched results. Some unexpected rhythmic pulses appear as well, adding to the fun. ---------------------------------------------- The Assignment: Get someone from tense to chill. Step 1: Your goal with this piece is to guide someone from a place of intense stress to something more sedate. Keep that in mind. Step 2: A lot of meditation-oriented music takes the end point as the start. Consider that it can be jarring to listen to calm music when you are anything but calm. Step 3: Compose a piece of music that starts in a state of accelerated tension, allows the listener to align their own tension with that of the music, and then slowly proceeds to calm down, until the music is sustainably peaceful.
