I will title the postings I write for the 2 week assignments with Liam (music dude - yes, Liam, that is how I have referred to you - would you like a more prestigious description? Liam (Audio Designer Dude for Next Level Games), as "Assignment #". Makes it easy to keep track of where we are in terms of what we've accomplished.

For this particular assignment, the theme was "make it funky". This means, no traditional orchestral instruments allowed (i.e., flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons, french horns, trombones, cellos, violins, violas, double basses, timps, etc.) What's left is synth sounds, or sounds created through manipulating real sounds, or just more electronic sounding sounds. Check out the pieces above.

Note: You'll notice how Liam's piece is much louder than mine - this is because he properly compresses the music afterwards. I lack the know-how on this. Until I learn, his pieces will be at the proper volume. Mine will be softer.

Note 2: I've updated the last music post with Liam's rendition of the "heroic" theme. Check it out below on the last music post as well...
