"Foundation" by Stefano Petrocca
Original Mix
This song by Stefano Petrocca is a funk/r&b song that gives high energy and makes the listener want to move. I chose this song because of its lively vibe and the tastefulness and because of the approach of the instrument elements in the song.
01
Groove Change
In this version of the bridge I implemented a halftime groove change. Originally there are only a few percussive elements at the bridge, however I wanted to add sense of contrast with the new simplistic groove.
02
Sound Design
For this version of the bridge I wanted to add an element of sound design. I decided to use sound design to develop a pad sound that I desired. To achieve this sound I had to adjust multiple parameters such as the release, cutoff and delay and a few others.
03
Female Background Vocals Muted
In this version I decided to bring more emphasis to the male background vocals by muting the female background vocals. Doing this both brought more light to the tenor tone of the vocals overall by decreasing the range of all the vocals in the song and cleared some of the vocal space in the song to possibly by filled by a different adlib.
