Crafted Oscillations: An Exploration of Synthesizers and Technology Possibilities

Crafted Oscillations: An Exploration of Synthesizers and Technology Possibilities

Abstract

This project aims to forge and enhance my artistic identity while utilizing synthesizers as the primary resource in both the compositional and performance processes. By limiting myself to a specific set of gear and crafting sounds from scratch using just four types of waveforms, I seek to momentarily escape the world of endless and perfect possibilities that technology has brought to the music-making process and create my own voice. Throughout my academic journey and various collaborations, I dedicated myself to composing and recording a couple of songs that form an album. The themes of the compositions are centered around the documentation and reflection of important aspects of life such as love, self-care and dealing through changes. I used three key concepts outlined in this work to create and shape the synthesizer sounds on the record, aiming to capture and convey the emotions behind each song. Additionally, my intention is to offer an alternative approach to music in the present day, providing inspiration to fellow musicians who may find value and inspiration in this work.
