Something that I've only just realised, is that my work has been influenced by the artist, Bonobo. I've been listening to his stuff for many years, and it wasn't until I was listening to this particular song by him the other day, Kiara, that I realised his style was an influence towards what I have been creating. Although Bonobo is a DJ, he produces his music using live instruments (mixed with the odd digitally produced thing here and there). He uses strings in many of his pieces, and often tours with a 28 piece band. I was actually going to go see him live here in Auckland earlier this year, but then I found out that it was just his DJ set - and not with his full band. I can really appreciate modern music - even digital sounding ones that have actually been produced with musical knowledge and taking parts from actual instruments. I with my refined version that I am creating, I would like to take it into that similar direction I think.

WEEK 10 - Recreating
Now that we are able to use any programs as well as presets in this half of the project, I spent the week recreating new sounds through a midi, using the original piano piece I recorded. I have used a range of presets through Logic, such as the harp, double bass, flute, marimba and choir, as I would like to expand on my piece and make it sound a lot more orchestral to emphasise certain areas. The bigger the orchestra, the more I can create natural dynamic range by adding and subtracting certain amounts of instruments playing together. There was one preset in particular that was not a replica of an instrument - more along the lines of a soothing synth sound, which I have made an addition as it brings in more of the ethereal vibe that I was aiming to create with my draft mix. Trying to break all these different tracks down to piece together will probably take quite a while, but I'm looking forward to how it'll all sound and so far I'm quite excited about how things are looking.
