Non Narrative Music

With my non-narrative, I wanted to try my best to find a song that didn't have lyrics for the sake of the film solely focusing on he beat of the music.

A friend of mine who also makes films posted a film on Youtube which had a song in it called "A New Error" by Moderat. I really liked how the song began slowly and kicked in later.





Although I liked this song, I found it quite repetitive and may limit what I could do with the film, so I kept searching. I asked people to recommend songs that they may have thought sounded similar to this track, and I had this song brought to my attention:



I did like the beat in this song, as well as the pulsing bass, however; I again thought it was a bit too repetitive, although this song did give me ideas for visuals.

When writing other essays for other modules, I like to listen to music. I tend to find random YouTube playlists and have them on as background noise, but in one playlist, a particular song stood out to me:

I really liked the build up at the beginning of the song, how it dwindled slowly until it kicked in. I did find some of it repetitive, but it had more variation throughout the song than the others did, so I thought if I could cut some of the repetitive parts out and edit them together seamlessly, it could work.
