Feel Enlightened - A Distant Voice
This track was designed to celebrate the present moment, the beauty in the now. I've decided to stick to four instruments in this composition: vocals, guitar, piano, and synth bass. I chose these instruments for their inherently soothing and melodious sounds. The melodic playing of the guitar, for instance, can induce a state of calmness and relaxation. I chose to use a voice and a choir sparingly, without clear lyrics, to create a strong emotional connection. I believe the human voice has a unique ability to convey emotion and can be incredibly soothing in a meditative context. Lastly, I chose the synth bass to create an ambient soundscape, especially in the lower harmonic/frequency range, to provide a steady, calming bassline that anchors the track, adding a layer of depth that enhances the meditative quality of the music. Challenge for the listener: 1. Identify the key instruments in the track and when they appear. 2. Identify where each element is in the mix, is there movement?
