Creative Sound Projects Collective: Further Contextualisation

My piece is representative of a classical movement. The progression begins with a C major 7 chord played in a closed voicing, which is to have the smallest interval between the notes of the chord. In expanding on my relatively classical approach to this project, I wrote out the movement on a piece of paper and wrote it at 60bpm to match the desired time I wanted the project to be, exactly 5 minutes. From there I recording the progression on a main guitar track and recorded the leave on my second track. The bass drone sound and the kick drum added to the piece structurally and sonically tied the various guitar parts together.

Despite the structurally musical approach to my composition, I wanted to guide the piece into a more spatial and environmental direction. The goal was for the listener, including myself, to get lost in the piece itself and have it preform as more of an ambient and ambiguous score for a space, either physical or imaginary.

Including the obscure guitar sounds elevated the work even closer to that direction, and represented the expanded idea of a voice within my piece.
