Gypsy Shoegazer - Kevin Macleod

This piece of music was chosen, suiting the mood of my images perfectly. A mixture of eerie, mellow, sombre whilst the vocals assist with some sense of personification to the visual 'strange' world. 

It has an effective start with simple intro whilst with each bar the layering of instruments/vocals heightens. A soft guitar instrumental in the centre of the piece sets apart sections of the story and the rhythm of the photographs are edited to this middle section. After this the instruments start to layer once more on top of the vocals reaching a peak until silence. The music continues after a pause for a few more bars at the end of the video.

I cut out a number of bars in the music piece, due to the song originally being 4mins 20, being slightly longer than anticipated and the personal opinion of too much repetition in the song, potentially becoming tedious over the duration of the video. Cutting the music was simple due to no major variations in the piece, and it made the video overall shorter and sweeter.

The song is in 3:4 timing at 120BPM as Allegro (fairly fast). A fairly snappy rhythm being in 3 timing, is paired with a continual (sort of) 'sluggish' loop of guitar which compliment each other well. The (sort of) 'sluggish' vocals do this also. 
Instruments: Percussion, voice, guitar, trombone.
