Animation Music Stuff (re last RT):
I'm rlly proud of how the music for this project came out! Amelia's animation work is amazing, so I was really happy to contribute.
Also it being my first collaboration project in years, and the first ever where I was responsible for the musical component.. Yeah, I'm happy.
There's stuff I'd like to improve on that I spotted during it; I wanna get better at mixing different emotions in a piece
more variation in rhythms
being more confident working with melodies
But like, that's "to improve" rather than "ughhh I messed up" feelin'.
Really happy with the engine-come-bassline, the drumbeat & the guitars.
The overall feel started off early as "Oh wow this went Fuck Buttons style wall of noise real fast" as a kinda happy-accident with just the chords/drums/bassline, and made it feel ominous and forboding.
Also meant I had to be careful layering the melody over it without crowding the composition too much..! So went with a slower choral line rather than the aggressive violins I'd originally envisioned for it, which was the right call I think.
