The Beginning

For College we have been given the task to create an EP for our Final Major Project, we were allowed to put ourselves into groups of 5 and my friends and I chose to be in a group together. We decided to create an EP telling the story of a character who is travelling through space and gets caught up in unfortunate events. Everyone in the group is in charge of creating their own chapter to the story and we came up with a storyboard so we can all connect the tracks together.
My track will be about when the character gets caught up in a battle between two opposing armies, I decided to create a Hard Rock/Metal track for this chapter because my inspiration was if this scene was in a Sci-Film the camera would pan out and show a wide shot of the battle and the track would begin.
The track itself was an idea Mathew Quinn and myself came up with in the summer holidays one year and I decided to take it and change it up and create it as a newer version. The track has a clear influence in terms of sound and style, it is very much influenced by Metallica but I intend to add some electronic elements to make it more of a space feel.

I started coming up with the drum track at home and I recorded myself playing them on my phone and put it on YouTube so the group could see and give me feedback, once I had chosen which drum track is the one for the track I started creating a draft of my track on Logic by setting up the electronic drum kit in G079 and sending it through the Scarlett USB audio interface and into an audio track on Logic, I plan on recording live drums in the Live room because I feel my track would benefit from having live drums, but I plan on recording the guitars and bass guitar through logic as a DI because I like a particular tone I found on a Amp modeller.
