Project 6

I created this synth to sound very eerie and spacey, which was influenced by an old Nintendo game called Metroid which was able to create a mood of emptiness and eeriness using the sounds of the time. I wanted to try to recreate this mood with this synth and i used a simple and open sounding drum beat to enhance this feel.

Project 5

I made a simple drum beat with bongos, snare, bass, claps, and clicks to go with this laid back spacey sounding tune. I used Sytrus to make the synths and the parts I came up use a Ionian Major Scale using C E and G mostly. I had a basic bass sounding part that was just played lower on the keyboard instead of an actual bass. At the end of the song I added a new part which pans back and forth and made a volume envelope to fade everything out at the end.
