Demo/ Rough Music

One of the jobs appointed to me was to either source or create music for the 'As Live' production. This involved creating both 'Music Beds' and 'Stings' which would play during the production.

I was given some sources by the producers as to the type of music they would like to be incorporated in the production and I have taken an extensive look at them as well as other similar styles. I had the choice whether to edit the music that was given to me or another I could source, or to create my own original pieces. For now, I am aiming for the latter.

Upon looking at the demos, I realised they had a remixed style to them with off-beat rhythms and rum machines. I have tried to emulate this type of style and have made various demos of music beds, stings and extra pieces of music as tests. Here are a few examples:

I'm not particularly fond with the pieces as they are so far but theses are still only just rough version and will either need more polish or be reworked altogether. One of the directors for the production has seen these previews and they said that they just need polish but, like me, they didn't feel the stings worked very well. 

I shall try and make sure these will be polished up to good standard and I have agreed to make a group via social media where I can talk to and send pieces to the producers and directors so they can feed back on them and I can improve upon their feedback.
