experiments
So with the help of some patient friends I have been experimenting with the different features available in logic, in particular the Exs24 sequencer!! (that and a few other effects that are available.) I collected various vocal samples from my good friends, and sequenced them in Logic- to help me get back up to scratch with the software.
The first piece literally used one sample.. I’m lucky to have a very ‘happy’ housemate, who I knew would eventually provide me with a colourful laugh, and so set a microphone up in my room and invited her into my room.. without saying anything and just staring blankly at her- she ended up in hysterics.
I took a short segment of the recording and sequenced it in logic using various panning, reverbs, distortion, reversing and sampling effects.Have a listen here:7186466-12e
This next piece uses similar effects, but is based on the text ‘Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t’ from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The Piece is in an A-B-A like structure, divided into ‘madness’ and ‘method.’ The sounds used are a combination of voices using processes and amplified ‘bangs’ on surfaces. I think the piece itself works quite well, although it’s an early start- I think it would work well in a multi-channel diffusion. I’ve uploaded it to here: 7267708-401
All in all this has helped me to feel more confident using the software, so I can start to sequence my final compositions.
