Jai Paul – Jasmine

This song starts with highly compressed bass line. Vocal used multiple effects(chorus, reverb and filter) and various ambience sounds in the background.

Sagun –

I really like the different instrumentation the song had. The drums hit onbeat and it really showed the release when all the instruments played together and started slowing down. Especially at the end !

 

Kodaline – Head Held High

This is a very upbeat song in which has some dynamics. It dramatically fades at the ending. There’s also some repetition throughout the song. The instrumentation in the background really brought the song to life!

Keshi- 2 soon

This song overall has a lot of repetition. The beginning starts out with piano and guitar, and drums fall in when the lyrics come in. The drums disappears pretty soon, and that continues throughout of the song.  I like the steadiness throughout the song 🙂

 

Mick Gordon

I discovered Mick Gordon when I finished a video game and noticed his name smack as the lead composer for the soundtrack. For the most part he’s made the soundtracks for many games, but has songs and tracks from many genres. Some game soundtracks which are most notable are Need For Speed, DOOM (reboot) and the Wolfenstein series. He’s an Australian composer who excels at setting the mood and atmosphere perfectly and really through mixing. Each song or soundtrack for a game fits what it should perfectly, and for something like DOOM is just violent metal throughout. While it’s good to listen to a specific mood to match how you’re feeling, I’ve found that I can listen to a 9 string guitar blast into my ears while doing very casual homework.
