Entry for "compose a track II", organized by youtube user PrincessLilyMusic.
( youtube.com/princesslilymusic ). Not suitable for sensitive listeners, and certainly not suitable as a lullaby!! Don't say you haven't been warned...
I recommend headphones for the fullest experience (don't exaggerate with the volume!)
The assignment was to combine both gentle and aggressive parts into one coherently sounding track. The sound effects are an integral part of the composition. I'm the first to admit I interpreted the assignment rather freely.
This track uses a whole bunch of samples from http://freesound.org, made by different freesound users: thanks reinsamba, pfly, morgantj, Robinhood76, meatball4u, steveygos93, ljudman, Omar Alvarado, sandyrb, daveincamas, leady, acclivity, guitarguy1985 and Syna-Max !

The video was made in kdenlive, the music is composed in lmms using the fluidR3 soundfont. The samples were converted to .wav format using audacity. Mixing was done in ardour2, using ladspa plugins for adding reverb and multiband equalizing.

![[Experimental] Blind date with a light organ](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vMuv63Xar9k/mqdefault.jpg "[Experimental] Blind date with a light organ
Im still without working digital piano... So Im posting a recent bootleg recording of an experimental piece I made. What we see and hear is a blind date with a light organ.(Oh... the irony.) The opportunity arose to write an experimental piece consisting of sounds and lights. I created and chose sounds, and I mapped the sounds to lights. Part of the challenge was that it was not known beforehand how the lamps were going to be ordered in the space, nor what they would look like in terms of size and color. Therefore the assignment was not only about creating sounds and triggering lights, but also a bit about trying to think of a kind of light choreography that could work with any ordering of lamps. This music is not to everyones taste obviously (nor is all my other music for that matter), but I think its worth listening to the end to see and hear how the atmosphere changes over the course of the piece. Im curious to learn from you in the comments what feelings you experienced during the piece (if any), and what feeling you were left with at the end. Did it manage to grab your attention at some point?")
