Honors Project Goals
What was the plan for the project?
As mentioned in the Project Descriptions page of the site, this project was meant to be about a three to four minute song, which I ended up getting it to exactly four minutes. I used Ableton Live 10 for making the music because we have the software available at home, and it's an exceptional program for music making. For the song I had a lot of my inspiration from Daft Punk, so I planned to have a somewhat repetitive decent length song with an 80's feel.

The creating process
During the process of creating the song, I ended up starting over completely because what I was working on at the time didn't sound good to me at all. I knew that if I wanted to finish it that it would have to keep giving me inspiration, and a bad sounding song wouldn't give me any of that. I ended up finding a lot of inspiration in my second attempt after experimenting with audio effects such as the arpeggiator, which gave the song a more 80's/trance vibe.

Here's what the full song looks like in Ableton Live 10:
The final product
I know that the song doesn't sound incredible by any means, but for my first attempt on a full song, I believe I did a pretty decent job. The .MP3 file for the finished song can be found below. I gave it the name "Sunday".
