This is my audio for the Art-Inspired Music Contest 2021

Had lots of fun browsing the art portal, selecting a piece, actually making the audio. As always, learned a bunch! The most notable lesson in this track was how to merge my recorded audio clips

I'm very grateful to have been inspired by 4WK's artwork, "Dissociation" which can be viewed here


Edit 13 May 2021

Levels have been somewhat adjusted and I reorganized during the midway-breakdown-ish. Grateful for @Tebyricat 's very helpful feedback :D

I have to admit there aren't a lot of things I can say positively regarding this track. At least the vocals sort of seem to be inspired by the image with just the part where it says, "Let me out!" which comes across as a plea for help and dissociation against one's own will. But other than that, this track doesn't really seem to be much of anything.

As a dance track, the drums are mixed too quietly and it doesn't feel remotely close to being danceable. The synths playing the chord progression make the emotions in this track corny and goofy in a way that don't connect with the artwork at all (I think the fact that there are pop culture references doesn't help much either). The spliced vocals just sit there for the duration of the few minutes this track plays out and they aren't really something that offer any substance that make it worth listening to those sounds for that amount of time.

Overall, I think this was an entry with very little substance to it. It kind of hints at connecting with the art, but only slightly.

ChipSugarShock responds:

Thanks for listening, and for the feedback!

Cool song, I like the melody, but I think the voices should be louder. Either that or make so the main instrument doesn't saturate the track so much... A matter of balancing sounds (which is ironically for a song about an unbalanced mind)

Edit: I feel it sounds way more balanced now! I'm glad I somewhat helped (also I just realised the rick and morty reference)

ChipSugarShock responds:

Thank you!
