Pressure Project 3 (Murt)

For this project, I wanted to explore the use of spatial effects to distinguish the inner states-of-mind of different characters from their outward presentation. Within Logic Pro X, I set up three of the “smart drummers”(an oxymoron, depending who you ask). Each drummer plays an outer-world part, and inner-world part with some form of reverb/delay, and a third section where the two parts are combined but panned hard to opposite sides of the binaural field.
Anders is Logic’s metal drummer, but I used him to play something steady and subdued(soft-spoken) outwardly. For the inner section, I used an instance of EZDrummer2 Drumkit from Hell with a reverb and dub delay to create the inner metalhead.
Maya is a retro 80s drummer with a rad WYSIWYG vibe.
Aidan is indie rock oriented. He is constantly overplaying and it doesn’t suit the music. In other words, he is a loud mouth.

Based on the critique session, it seemed that the project might read better if I put each drummer’s parts in their own sequence rather than three external-> three internal-> three discrepancy.
