So here is the long awaited proposal for my final project. The ideas are still extremely lose, but here it goes anyway. I'm going to try to create an "electro-trip" piece, that would hybridize trip-hop with a more sample driven, electronic music style. The mood of the piece would be creepy and not a little disconcerting. The samples will be drawn from movie quote webpages that I see on the internet, but will hopefully also incorporate one of my opera singing friend's voices reading out a crazy poem, or some other very "peculiar" sounding piece of prose. I have a very diverse group of inspirations that I'm drawing from. One that in particular stands out is Enjoy Your Worries, You May Never Have Them Again, by The Books, which has a set of spoken word sample that gives me shivers every time I listen to it. Some artists which I'm also interested in emulating are Portishead, Massive Attack, and Tricky.

Oh and here's my project:
