Orchestral Echoes: Unveiling the Symphony of Odd Spaces
Have you ever attended a classical concert?
Right before the maestro appears on stage, the oboe plays a single A note (440Hz, or in my case 432Hz). All other musicians then start playing their instruments to ensure they’re in tune with each other. Tuning to the same “A” the oboe plays ensures that every musician is perfectly aligned, creating that rich, cohesive sound that fills a concert hall.
Check it out here:
I love this sound. It’s rich, full-bodied, and has this drone quality that can serve as a foundation for other elements.
Also, when we hear it, we subconsciously understand that it’s the beginning of something.
For “Odd Spaces,” I started with this orchestra tuning sample. To add a unique twist, I applied a Shimmering effect. By altering its size throughout the song, it creates interesting deviations from the basic tuning note.
To give the song some momentum, I added low and high-pitched instruments that convey a “here we go” feeling. I also incorporated reversed choirs to mark the exact tempo and chord changes.
Here’s the result.
Thank you for taking the time to explore “Odd Spaces”, the fifth track of my album. I’d love to hear your thoughts and impressions.
Feel free to share your experience or any questions you might have about the creative process behind this piece.
I encourage you to check out the rest of the album. Each track has its own unique story and sonic landscape waiting to be discovered.
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes insights on the upcoming tracks!
Best wishes,
Billy
