Found Sound Song Process

March 28, 2017 Jessica AlcidLeave a comment

For my Found Sound song, I used my own phone recording of taking something out of its wrapping and warming it in the microwave.  There were some elements of the recording that I thought could use as different percussive sounds.

What I like about Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” is that even though it still has a lot of repetition, the repetition is layered in various, interesting… Continue reading Favorite Song/Least Favorite Song
