Finishing and editing

After finishing all the instrumentation and editing all the recordings, I began to arrange the piece into the way I wanted it. I managed the introduction with the stereo channels playing first, introducing the calmer tones first to highlight them at the beginning. By doing so, It would make the transition into the fuller more effective.

I also realised I wasn’t allowed to use certain channels so I re-edited it back to the original 6 channel formation, using 4 are the back and a stereo formation and the front. I used the fluttering sound with GRM effects on it to transition to the second part that introduces the rear audio. To create a conversation between the two i then transition back to the front with high pitched synthesis, before then transitioning back to the rear audio and eventually the outro. I used automation and fades to create smooth transitions between each part.

I felt like this composition was the best way to creatively express the binary nature of the two sonic atmosphere leaving space to display each part and create conversation and sonic exchange. I feel like I have used different new techniques to express this such as using GRM as well thinking about the space and spatialisation in new ways.
