This is a song I have written myself regarding a person who is struggling with an internal problem, such as addiction, anger management, depression, or some other issue. It is multipart female vocal music, with accompaniment from piano, strings, drums, synthesizers, and plucked hand-harp. Note: while there are some sound effects at the beginning, no actual argument between real people was recorded, nor were the people actually arguing. It is a made-up conversation.

An ambient-orchestral piece designed to provoke thought in the listener. Composed for the Final of one of my classes in the Fall 2023 semester. Instruments include voice, synth strings, and synth percussion, amongst others.

Soprano 1 and 2, Alto 1 and 2, electric cello x2, strings, piano, drums. Created in Ableton. Blue Baby Bottle Microphone. Scarlett 2i2 interface. "Walking down the road of life, With the chain breaking, Somebody come set me free."

This was done for class. Instructions were (vaguely): take a portion of a movie that contains two different backgrounds, and remove the sound. Then, recreate all the sounds yourself. Backgrounds, SFX, dialogue, footsteps, music, etc. The goal was to learn to create Audio for Video. There were more detailed parameters, but that would fill a whole page. This was the starting point, though.

How do you get a video like this one? Step 1: have your teacher ask you to create music only (no dialogue or sound effects) for the trailer s/he selects for you. Step 2: watch the trailer, and discover that it is about a creepy doll that murders people. Step 3: make the decision to break a nursery rhyme, and orchestrate that.
