Compose a piece of music that will take the listener on a journey.
This does not need to be a ‘concrete’ journey, e.g. travelling from place A to place B while describing specific events on the way, but could be more abstract (For example, an emotional journey taking people from feeling happy to feeling sad).
Think about the following:
Do different musical structures suggest different kinds of journey?
How can these journeys be varied?
What other aspects of a ‘journey’ are suggested – setting off, arriving home, etc?
Hints and tips
Keep a ‘journey log’ in which you can note down your ideas for composition structure, the sounds and sound sources that you might use, the manipulations that you might use and the impression that you want to make on the listener.
Perhaps you might find it useful to develop a graphic score or ‘sound storyboard’, which will guide your composition.
