Musical Scenery Description: A few years ago, my family and I spent a few weeks snowboarding and enjoying what Colorado had to offer. We flew in to Denver and stayed at a hotel at the bottom of a giant ski resort. In the mornings we would get up early so we could be the first people onto the fresh powder. After a few days of exploring denver and boarding we drove to a place where we were to go dog sledding. After an unfortunate discovery we found out that we would be snowmobiling instead. It was still very fun as we tore around a circular field watching the snow flying up and weaving in between trees. Although everyone but my mom got sick when we stayed at the hotel we still had a blast. media type="file" key="Slade_musicalscenery.mp3" Symphony Description: My unifying theme for my symphony is technology. In garageband their are many radio loops and machine sounds. For my first symphony I made an A melody and a B melody. For my second symphony I plan to use synth loops and a drum beat to make a space like sound. I tried to do things differently from past garageband songs I have made so I split loops and tried experimenting with strange tracks and human made sounds. I then want to use the machine sounds for my 3rd symphony.

Symphony Movement 2: Description: This is the second movement and we were supposed to create a more intense and mysterious song. I tied this to my symphony by using a synth loop and mechanical drum beat. I used a volcano eruption as a back round music and then added a beat and some mysterious synth loops. It was shorter but I thought that if I made it longer it would become boring and repetitive. I slowed down the tempo and added a nice steady beat to create a cool feel. media type="file" key="Slade Movement 2.mp3"

Symphony Movement 3: Description: This was a more fast, happy song and I had alot of fun making it. I tied this to my symphony by using many synth and bass loops along with very robotic like drum beats. I used mostly quick beats and pretty lively tracks to make a fun song. I sped up the tempo and kept it simple by only having two tracks going. I was really happy with the way the transitions between beats is very smooth. It gets a little wierd at the end. I hope people will enjoy it. media type="file" key="Symphonic Part 3 by Patrick Slade.mp3"

Symphony Part 4: Description: This movement Thomas and I made together. We turned it in though and changed it a little so it was our own. I tied this to my symphony by using artificial sounds. This movement was really fun to make because I got to make it with a friend. I really enjoyed this movement.
