"River" - Croix S.

2025-06-05

Wisconsin School Music Association Composition Project - Exemplary Award Nominee

In his words on his exemplary nominated composition - "The name of this song is River because just like a river the ideas and style changes like bends in a river. Just because a river starts somewhere it doesn't necessary end there too. This song was an assignment for my school's music production 2 class, the quick sampler project. Like the name entails, we had to use the quick sampler feature in Logic with audios that students in the class made. We had everything from bass clarinet to thunder tubes. In my project I used handbells, bass drum hits, bass drum rolls, and thunder tube rumbles to transition between sections. The first part of the song is a more classical, concerto like solo from french horn and then traditions to flute just before the big beat switch into a more techno style and stays there for the rest of the song. I composed the classical section myself along with all of the quick sampled instruments, but almost everything else are loops that I found within Logic that I adjusted by applying plug-ins to make them more stylistically different and unique. Nothing was recorded live, but instead they were logic instruments or loops. I hope that you enjoy River!"
