Paper #1

• Introduce the piece and how it connects to me
• Describe the piece in itself
• Relate this description back to how it makes me feel
• Go into specifics on parts of the piece that mean something
• Talk about the effect it could have in the future as it statically grows as an art form
• Close by talking about the overall effect it has had

Brainstorm:

This text draws me in from its ethereal and unorthodox sounds/microtonality  

I’m draw in by specific instruments and rhythms.

Although the song has a longer run time, it manages to stay interesting and engaging

The concept of happening before their time. Hip-hop influence

Things I am reminded of or feel/relate to when listening

Personal connections to the text

The future of the text

The structure of the text

1. What is your text?
1. A piece of music. Somewhat unorthodox piece of music. Wild sounds draw me in
2. Creates an atmosphere. Atmosphere that feels good. Effect music can have on mood
3. Something that I personally enjoy. Why does it relate to me? My musical preferences
4. Futuristic/before its time. Contains sounds that would be cultivated decades later
5. Observations: Travels through different moods and imagery. The imagery is up to the listener
2. How does your text work?

1. A musical format. Goes through an untraditional song structure. Unexpected turns at every corner
2. Works by creating a mood /feeling in itself and them the listener subconsciously creates a personal mood/feeling
3. Grows with time in people’s minds. Stays the same in itself but grows with people’s perception
4. Use of specific instruments and rhythms
5. Observations: Instrumental arrangement feels loose and airy but it feels intentional, to set up a feeling. The activities in which you are pursuing while listening can influence your outlook on the text and how it works. Improvisatory musical decisions add to the freeform feel of the track. Importance is not only held in the composition but also in the attitude and emotions of the musicians. Dynamic choices draw the listener in. harmonies and melodies which one may usually consider to be unpleasant are presented confidently and with attitude along with other harmonic layers that makes them sound good.
