Project 5: Vocoder

The audio clip is supposed to be a tale of someone logging onto a computer with hopes of creating an explosion using a self destruct sequence on the computer. However, right as it is set to explode the battery dies and the computer shuts off. This song starts with the sounds of a keyboard typing unaffected by the vocoder. once the person logs in the computer voice starts talking with the growling vocoder effect. After the voice speaks again, an explosion is heard and the guitar comes in heavy. Through out the song bass and drums with vocoder effects are being played, sort of acting as a main menu type sound. The countdown begins but then doesn't go off because the battery dies. The computer says goodbye then shuts off in a dj record spin type noise.

November 10th

Today I downloaded a few more sounds for the project. I came up with a bass line that transposes and a basic drum loop, with the snare drum running through the vocoder. The theme I'm going to try to make with this song is going through a computer, with someone trying to log on and then get to a classified area as the instruments get heavier. We will see if i am able to actually make this work.
