"The Place You Called Home" - Colin M

Wisconsin School Music Association Composition Project - Exemplary Award Nominee

In Colin's Words of his exemplary award nominated composition - "I just took my first ever music production class this year, and it was a TON of fun. As someone very into the live performance aspect of music, this was a very different, yet refreshing, approach to music. The Place You Called Home was my final project that I created at the end of my semester long music production class, and was my most complex project by a long shot. Throughout the entirety of my music production class, I also told myself that I would try to not use any loops, and instead would try to create my own "loops". This project followed that trend, and has no loops in it. Especially in the beginning, I really played around with the different instrument's fading in and out of the texture to make it feel like every time you listen to it, you notice something new. I also set myself the challenge of incorporating a super light and floaty style, with a way heavier style, which I pulled off with mediocre success. I'm not expecting to get any award for this piece, but would love feedback about next steps to become even better at this now hobby of mine! Overall, considering how I've only spent a few months using Logic Pro for about 3ish times a week, I'm very happy with how it turned out, and it was a ton of fun to make."
