MUSIC PRODUCTION WITH THOM COFFEY, ENGLAND/WALES

Looking for someone with experience in music production with a lot of talent and creativity. You will be expected to create a five minute song with sound clips of ambient sound. There will be 80 sound clips with the duration ranging from 5 secs to 30. Below you will find a Blurb about the film, all contacts should send a portfolio Email - thomcoffey@hotmail.com What’s it about? I have always been interested in sound and the production of music and have played percussion for last five years. When performing a musical piece with other instruments each member of the group has to concentrate on their individual part. When each instrument is listened to in isolation, the listener doesn’t get the full musical experience of the piece. With all members of the group playing their individual instruments, the sounds mesh together to create the audible experience. This forms the basis of my idea, for when playing an instrument with others the performer has to listen to their part as well as the musical piece they are contributing to. I want to show the audience how music is constructed through using everyday ambient sound. I intend to achieve this task by constructing a five-minute song by cutting up samples of everyday sounds. How? Every ambient sound will mimic a certain group of instruments normally used in a song (percussion, strings). In addition to this, each sound recorded will have the original visual to the sound. When the audience listens to the final song a visual aid will help them to understand how the song was constructed. The next step of showing the audience how the song comes together is in the way it’s shown to the audience. Constructing an installation consisting of four screens, I intend to show the different groups of ambient sound used to create the song. Each screen will also have its own independent sound output.
