Moments:Minutes:Millennia

by Benjamin Davis

Moments:Minutes:Millennia is an electronic piece focused on time. While the overall tempo remains the same throughout the piece, the rhythm and meter change several times across the piece. Elements like ticking clocks, tower chimes, and reversed drums fill out the theme. This piece was created for One Synth Challenge #130. All sounds were synthesized from scratch using only Phase Plant, an impressively powerful synthesizer plug-in.

Barriers Will Not Break Us

A journey some new musical territory for me. Features the ROLI Seaboard Rise checked out from the libraries at State. This operates MSoundFactory, tuned to 17edX.

BLEU

Sunshine

by Mikayla Welker

"You Are My Sunshine" seems like such a happy and sweet song, but the lyrics are actually quite creepy. I recorded a cover of it in a minor key to really accentuate that and show the importance of key in music.
