OTGS Art Contest

Open-mindedness & Creativity

– I took a regular music box, you know the one you can buy with a certain tune playing as you turn its handle.
– I set up my recording equipment and recorded each of the music box’s note, one by one, separately.
– I then cut all of these notes and turned them into separate samples.
– Then, I created my own custom “VST instrument” based on my samples. Basically, a VST instrument is a piece of software that you can insert into music creation software (Cubase, Ableton Live, etc.) and play it like an instrument.
– So, the way it works is this: you fire up your main music creation software, load up the virtual instrument, and then use a keyboard connected to your computer to play that instrument. As you press a note on the keyboard, it triggers to play one of the samples I created by recording my music box.
– The best part is, I can share the VST instrument with anyone and they can use it to create their own music.

This project involved detailed engineering, learning new skills both manual and technological, and MATHS to produce beautiful patterns.

When I started this I didn’t know how it would turn out. Whenever there was a stumbling block I need to find solutions to keep moving forward. Overall the result is far better than I imaged it would be.

One of my skills is music so I thought that it would be a nice challenge for me to try to create a song that would talk about our company’s values. I also wanted to make it both fun and practical.

So I took my guitar and spent some time to find an instrumental idea – while doing this, I was also trying to get together a few lyrics that would fit and rhyme nice with the instrumental.

I did not wanted the song to have too fast of a rhythm but I did not want it to be super slow and boring so after spending a few hours on it (maybe 2-3 in total to get it all together) and after recording it for a couple times till I got to a version that I liked (i think I spent around 1 hour in total), I got to this idea.

I took part in a contest about 2 years ago, in order to create a Remix.

We used to receive an Accapella from a pretty famous german Rapper and had to create a whole new instrumental around it – sadly I did not win the contest but I still like the production a lot. I gave it a new mix and I would like to submit under the core value “creativity”.
