APD Week 3: Play and Object

Theme

Play and Object

Context
The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar (Official Music Video) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S43IwBF0uM)

This Star guitar music video that you had showed us in the class inspired me so much. The making process is completely different but the idea is quite similar. This music video, the objects are created after the music but mine started from the objects sound to create a music. However, the idea of each object represent each sound are really caught my eyes and resulted in this short music I made

Method

I went around the house find thing that make different sound to imitate each instrument. Record by using my mobile phone with an external microphone to capture a good quality sound then I rearrange and compose a music with the sound I have by using Adobe Premiere Pro.

Response
I was randomly record objects that making sound without planning that each of them will play as which instrument. Turn out, the first clip I made was really bad even though how hard I tried to arrange it. So I need to record sound from the object again but this time I was planning that this will be my drum and else.

Reflection

To be honest, I hate the first version of my everyday objects music. Most of the sound I got were create similar sound and tone. I tried so hard to compose it and made it nice to listen at least but it got my nerve and I had to delete the sequence. Making thing without planning sometimes can give you some creative thing but I don't think this is work with the music composing. The rhythm is the heart of music. I have to count number in my mind and record the sound which is quite fun to do. However, counting number without saying it out loud can mislead the rhythm but I can still edit footage speed in the program. The final music I made is satify me so much as I want to do this for many years but never had a chance to try it before!
