W8: Project development and Self-research: reverb, simpler & bass pad

Change of work: last week l developed a detailed storyline for my project that matches the genre and concept of the album. This week l’m going to refine it. 


For the beginning of the piece l choose to create connections with the songs in the album, thus l utilize the section of the piece and had secondary created. I have used audio recording the organical track and using reverb effect to increase stereo for the immersive experience for the listeners.
In term of building some layers and texture for the secondary creation. I used a simper to cut out only part of the piece and recorded it together using frequency automation, as well as looped and snapped the track. This is for imitate how the character is listening closely to the radio, and changing channels, this is the first point of view for the listeners to substitute themselves into the character. It is also dreamy effect which is a foreshadow of character slowly going into her dream. 

Then l made a chorus for maintaining the dreamy effect and having a set off for the footsteps l recorded myself, this is to imitate the little girl gradually walking towards her goal and ambitions of success. It is also towards her final joy after the life struggles. I utilized the vocoder effect and OTT for the dimension of the sound, building with more depth for the footsteps to be more realistic.

I have added some clear bird sound to collaborate with the footsteps. This sound appears which makes the character hesitate, it is also a symbolism of exploring new elements and experience in the reality world. Therefore this bird sound needs to be very outstanding and has a stereo effect for the listeners to feel surrounded by the sound. So l added a EQ Eight and canceled the low frequencies and building on with feedback in echo.
