28 August 2016




Name: 8PM
Programme used: Logic Pro X

Instruments used:
  • Steinway Grand Piano
  • Vibraphone
  • Wurlitzer Classic
  • Steel String Acoustic
  • Glockenspiel
  • Caribbean Steel Drums+
  • Polka Accordion
  • Neo Soul+ (Drum Kit)
  • Boutique 808 GB (Drum Kit)
8PM is created from scratch. Its bpm is 180. It is a serene and dreamy piece of music, designed to put the listener at ease and at rest.
Throughout the song there is a gentle, silky-like piano being played. With it plays a harmonious guitar and soothing electric piano.
To begin, the piano starts and most of the other instruments join shortly after. This introduction is then repeated again with additional instruments being introduced, such as the steel drums and the accordion.
It then suddenly progresses into a different, deeper key of guitar notes, and consistent maracas, to introduce a mystified feel.
After this strange, mystifying section, the key then changes again and the song is closed off with a soft and tranquil piano, vibraphone and accordion progression, much like the one in 7PM.

 Overview

 The piano. It is soft throughout the song and all of the notes are of a high tone.

 The vibraphone that accompanies the piano at the end.

 The glockenspiel that occasionally plays with the piano to give the song a 'glistening' feel.

 The steel drums.

 The accordion.

 The Wurlitzer Classic (electric piano).

 The Wurlitzer Classic key change.

 The dreamy Steel String Acoustic.

 The deep key change of the Steel String Acoustic. I feel as though this section, while sudden, is very significant to the song, as it feels like the 'bridge' to the ending (of the song).

The 2nd key change of the guitar, where the song ends.


(Please note: the screenshots show a different instrument in the green box to what they actually are. This is an error caused when the instrument is changed after the green boxes are created and the name does not update)
