MUSIC PRODUCTION - TRAP (COMPOSITION)
Formal
This is one of my compositions that I have done. It is created based on my knowledge and experience. The genre is trap.
Aesthetic
The term "trap" refers to places where drug deals take place. Other topics also include street life, acquiring wealth, violence, American vehicles, and life experiences that artists have faced in their southern American surroundings. Trap music employs multilayered thin- or thick-textured monophonic drones with sometimes a melodic accompaniment expressed with synthesizers; crisp, grimy, and rhythmic snares, deep 808 kick drums, double-time, triple-time, and similarly divided hi-hats, and a cinematic and symphonic use of synthesized string, brass, woodwind, and keyboard instruments to create an energetic, hard-hitting, deep, and variant atmosphere.
Technical
The software that I use to compose this song is Ableton. The plan, the placement and the arrangement are done by me. The instrument used in this song is drums, saw, synth, bass and some vocal sample. The saw is all in the same pitch, but the input is added to make it decrease the pitch in each note. The drums that have some different placement to make it livelier. I decide to try new things. This is the result that I have improved myself in my career.
