24 Jul 2016



Name: 9PM
Programme used: Logic Pro X


Instruments used 

  • Steinway Grand Piano
  • Wurlitzer Classic
  • Pulse Legato Bass

  • Glockenspiel
  • Polka Accordion

  • Bright Mk II Blackface (ambient electric piano)

This song is created from scratch. The bpm is 205.
The feel of this song is different to the others. This one, while relaxing, has a more foreboding and melancholy ambience, compared to the happy tone of the other songs.
The piano is dominant in this song. Its notes are fairly repetitive but have a different twist each time, pursuing that dark feel.
The Wurlitzer Classic chords are minor, which further adds to the grim feel. There is no drum kit in this song. The only percussion present is consistent maracas.
The song is structured in a particular way. It begins with a piano introduction, and then the maracas come in.
It then proceeds into broken chord notes played by the Wurlitzer Modern, before going back to the piano.
When the next Wurlitzer Modern section appears, it is accompanied by Marimbas, and then continues to play alongside the next piano section.
The Bright Mk II Blackface plays throughout the whole song apart from the end, and this gives the song a more celestial ambiance. It is, however, much quieter than the other instruments and may not be noticeable. There are also constant guitar chords playing throughout the song. The chords are similar to the Wurlitzer Classic chords, being minor and grim.
The song then ends with sustained Wurlitzer Classic notes, a completely different piano progression, and an accordion. The feel of the ending is a little less dark than the previous sections, which could be interpreted to give a feeling of optimism and hope in a pessimistic song.
