5th Post - Further Developments

I decided to make a second version of my piece and to try experimenting with writing 3 different versions. This will mean that parts of the music can be spread out over different devices rather than all being played at the same time.  I found in the previous version that some of my rhythmic elements became too confused so i hope this will simplify that and add some interesting movement. I spread the percussion parts over 3 tracks and labelled them so that i could easily bounce the 3 different versions.

I did the same with the other elements in the track so that piano, strings and glockenspiel are all divided between the 3 different versions.

 I then bounced the 3 versions and uploaded them to SoundCloud so that they could be easily accessed by anyone participating in my trial version. 

I was hoping to be able to test the piece during a tutorial but it was not a suitable situation. Testing the pieces in a live situation is going to be one of the biggest challenges of this project. Getting a suitably large number of people together will take careful planning and organisation. However, one way of getting an idea of how it might sound is to create multiple instances of each version in a DAW and offset them slightly as well as panning them. 



This gives a rough idea of how the piece might sound but I will attempt to record a performance on multiple devices over Christmas.
