Synopsis/Resume/Descripción : My artistic intention with this piece was to convey the nostalgia that comes with the passing of time. This was depicted through the use of MIDI sampling techniques which mimic the ticking sound of a clock. As the piece progresses, this ticking can be heard to be layered, creating a sense of momentum as ‘time’ progresses. Panning effects were also used on this ticking sound to create a notion of the piece surrounding the listener, in almost a circular motion like how time can be perceived. I placed this sound at the start and end to create structure in the piece which can be heard to end with the ticking sound and the sound of a crash, reversed to indicate what could be, the sudden feeling of one’s time stopping. I also incorporated sounds which reminded me of nature such as thunder and rain to play in the background. This adds to the ambient feel of the piece and also, symbolises how time passes with nature. The melody and synthesised sounds were produced also through MIDI sampling and were incorporated to encapsulate the feelings of nostalgia associated with the passing of time. Through this technique, I looped the synthesiser which can be heard at the start to create a subtle beat to depict the forward momentum of time.
