Final year project

Background

​

In recent years, more and more people in Hong Kong are suffering from mental illness due to the social environment and the pressure of life, and the situation is still on the rise. As for the development of music in Hong Kong, the most recent pop songs that most people can remember and will continue to sing years later are mainly about love, such as Dear Jane's " 愛情三部曲" and the past " K 歌", while songs about mental illness are rare in Hong Kong. This atmosphere and phenomenon have led to a narrow music market in Hong Kong, which is not willing to invest resources in the development and promotion of other types of music. In contrast, other countries will use music to promote various social phenomena and life pressure problems, in addition, Hong Kong accepts and produces very few types of music, electronic music has been prevalent in foreign countries for many years, but because of the small market, electronic music has not been popular in Hong Kong, which shows that the pace of music development in Hong Kong is relatively slow and backward.

Literature Review

​

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT2_F-1esPk  The song’s phrase and groove is easy to get tension, it’s just 4 chords, but memorable and many variety sound design on the arrangement. 
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpHaseqtV2A About the intro, the guitar has reversed and put a lot of processing to make it became to the new sound element. Also, for the drum part, it combined a bunch of the sound source to create big dynamic and rich drum set for the soundtrack, rather then used the real drum or VST drum for the arrangement.

Also, some percussion is included. As for the lyrics, it talk so many about patient’s feeling on first person view.

Monitor and Evaluation
