Semester Project Update

I have already conducted a lot of the research and put some of that in my previous post about my project. For this week's post, I am presenting a work in progress of my "audio visualization" of how the Black Lives Matter music video will appear. The track, which has heavy influences from the famous rapper Drake, EDM producers Boombox Cartel, percussion heavy KRNE, distortion heavy rapper xxxtentacion (not a fan of his lyrics but his productions are sometimes quite creative), and more. Transcribing the track to words would make it lose some meaning, but I'll picture it for you before you listen to the song. It starts out with a dark pad commonly used in the style of some Drake songs with an eery piano playing high notes. It then transitions to violins and a repetitive riff of a glockenspiel, which gets an audience feeling a classical yet modern vibe. A siren goes off in the background, which would be seen better in the upcoming music video. The buildup is quite tense, leading into a drop with a main grimy synth popularized by EDM artists such as Quix and Boombox Cartel. Note that it is a work in progress, and I am open to all changes before making the final music video for the presentation.

Here is the link to the track.
