Composition commentary

Songwriting 1
This was very difficult to mix because i had lots of different samples. i was influenced by Haitus Kayote and Flying Lotus. The first sample I Used was from the Haitus Kayote song Breathing underwater. i wanted to create a very atmospheric vibe so i used lots of EQ,Reverb and filters to get the desired sound i was looking for. I took influence from flying lotus and implemented it in my music by trying to replicate the way how he blends from one section of a song to another subtley yet effectively. I found this also tricky because there were a lot of different frequencies happening in this one song. I had a filter on some of the drums which added to the overall atmospheric vibe and i also used EQ to do low pass sweeps. Sade recorded vocals which had some swing allowing the listener to fall into a nice groove like in the 'Breathing Underwater'

This song was an interlude and just like the Hoizer song i use lots of repetition and layered different phrasing with my ad-libs on top. this makes the overall piece more effective and grabs the listeners attention because the music becomes more complex and catchy. I also tried to recreate the use of lyrics becoming used more as sounds rather than meaning like Haitus Kayote did. I made a complex high hat sequence because i had two different types of high hat. the first is a regular high hat which follows a complex rhythm. The second are different pitched high hats which also follow a complex rhythm. Artists which we studied such as Kendrick Lamar also implicate these complex high hat sequences in their music also.
