1984 Music

Hey guys, here is some music I've been working on for this project. I tried to use compositional techniques so that it would be somewhat formula based, similar to the music that the people listen to in the book. Although I doubt this is what their music would have sounded like, the principal is the same.

I used motives that come from the numbers 1, 9, 8, and 4. In the key of C minor, 1=C1, 9=D2, 8=C2, and 4=F1. In terms of a chromatic scale beginning on C, 1=C, 9=Ab, 8=G and 4=Eb. These two groups of notes serve as most of the melodic content of the piece, and all the other material has been derived from them. The last couple phrases (when the voice speaks "nine... teen... eighty...four) the words fall directly on their corresponding note.

The quotes are from 1984, recorded from the speech function of Textedit. If you guys have any other quotes you'd like me to put in, I can make the piece longer and add them. Just send me the text. I am also planning on adding some quotes from Confessions of an Economic Hit Man as well.

Any other comments or suggestions are welcome.
