It was interesting to look at how game music is written, too, as it&#8217;s vastly different to modern major genres. Some research into the classics my dad introduced me to inspired the descending melody in the introduction and the panning that I applied to the introduction, bass and outro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Logic was a nightmare for me. I couldn&#8217;t convey my ideas into the software for some reason, even though the input is similar to how Ableton works. Instead, I primarily worked on musescore and used an 8-bit conversion website before transferring it over to Logic to see how it might sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do I think I did well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listening to game music from the 80s gave me a good idea of what I should be aiming for and looking into the game&#8217;s story and gameplay allowed me to alter the initial ideas I had into something more fitting for the task. For this reason, I think I wrote something that is suitable for the assignment and I&#8217;m proud of how it turned out. Specifically, the layering and alternating patterns of the bass intertwining with the main melody when the highest note is reached sounds like it makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What could I have changed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d have liked to change the kick to something more impactful and experimented more with waveforms to alter tones for each part to my liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Was development documented appropriately? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I composed my final submission in a total of 6 hours in one night, I wouldn&#8217;t call this documentation consistent but it&#8217;s plentiful as I made a production plan and showed every scrapped attempt and evaluated them. I used sheet music to compose all ideas so I could provide evidence by posting screenshots of that and I also recorded some ideas on piano alongside a score. Additionally, I screenshotted the retro synth settings for each section. Every change was noted<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What did I enjoy and not enjoy about this project?
