Music: Remix by Basiah Bryant
From the composer: My music piece “Remix” was a piece I made when I was 13. It was inspired by a time in my life when I was losing hope. It was a very different reflection of how I was actually feeling: Happiness contrary to the deep sadness I actually felt. Overall most of my music is actually based on Japanese Anime music. I began my musical journey around 10 when I used GarageBand to make music. My mom was my immediate inspiration but I always used to listen to Japanese music and loved it. So naturally when I was bored with nothing else to do while I was homeschooled, I began to study Japanese music (yes I am self taught) and was able to replicate it on Garageband, which I still use to make music to this day, and I used it for Remix as well. Goes to show a free software can make some good dang music 🙂
I also think it’s funny to mention that I do not know music theory. I make music by ear. You can do anything if you try! I’m not sure where I want to go with my music. I’ve considered college, but I’m a bit afraid. Heh… I don’t know. I can say this, whatever whoever reading this decides to do in their lives, make sure it’s something you love. Because I’ll tell you one thing: Life it self is a hustle and bustle. Working fast food can be just as stressful as being a military officer. Make sure you love it! Not sure if I’ll love music as a career. But I can see it as a side hustle as I work to become something I actually enjoy.
