EAMT 203 — Transition exercise Compose a one-minute (min.) piece in which: • At least four different textures are used. • At least three transitions between the textures are created. • You must have: • at least one cross-fading transition; • at least one segue transition; and • at least one compound transition.
(Use volume automation for cross-fade) EAMT 203 — Transition exercise Technique #1: Cross-fading textures (By far the most common transitional technique used in EA composition) Texture #1 Texture #2
Texture 1 Texture 2 Texture 1 Texture 2/other Texture 1 Texture 2/other Texture 1 EAMT 203 — Transition exercise Technique # 2: Texture segues choose two contrasting textures: Texture 1 Texture 2 cut abruptly from one texture to the other at an appropriate point; (a number of different strategies work, e.g. abrupt or diversionary segues) It is also possible to return to the first (or another) texture after the first segue, and then cut back and forth between the two textures numerous times.
Segue texture, part 1 Segue texture, part 2 Cross-fading texture, part 1 Cross-fading texture, part 2 EAMT 203 — Transition exercise Technique #3: Compound transitions In a more complex layering scheme, more than one type of transition between layered textures can occur along the same timeline
