Romantic/Tense piece of music

On this piece of music, I partnered up with Jerome and our objective was to create a piece of music that would go well with a tense or romantic scene. 

We tried to be a bit unorthodox with the notes we used so I didn't play all the legitimate chords for example; for 2 bars I used F (sharp), A (sharp) and even D (sharp) together synchronized all of them played together doesn't make a legitimate chord, but it was still quite key in making the actual piece sound like how we wanted it to sound.

As Jerome used the right hand side of the keyboard to create a pitter patter effect it was contrasted to my arpeggio side of the keyboard which went to a more smooth and consistent rhythm. As the track went on we added more of a quieter and high pitch.

Overall this was a good piece of work but we could have made it better by using more of a variation of chords  but I feel that instead of just changing the pitch and dynamics we could have also varied the tempo better.

On this piece of work we have been split into groups of 4, we were asked to compose a minute long piece of music on a specific scene in King Kong.

Our group used a keyboard, xylophone and drums as our instruments, we applied a few techniques such as a pedal note which is one repeated note over a long period of time and a drone note which is one single note held.

We could have been more co-operative together to make a better piece but over all we were good and composed a good piece of music.
