I picked the "Destruction" portion of the broader theme (and admittedly drifted from the brief a bit, but I was having fun 😄 I don't expect to win!)

📷 Artwork is AI generated (no AI used in the project itself!!!)

📷 Screenshots attached of my DAW, Cubasis 3 for Android (working on my tiny 2019 Pixel 4a phone... I expanded the UI to tablet mode so you can actually see stuff (I had to do a lot of scrolling!))

This is my first full length composition, having only worked on shorter loops and underscores, and I'm still new to composing and music production in general... so be kind haha 😄 I'm not happy with the mix but I ran out of time to work on it any further, so this is what I have! I hope you get what I was going for even if the mix is questionable! Lots of lessons learned.

Would love feedback (particularly on the composition, I know the mix is not great, mixing and mastering is an art I have yet to master (pardon the pun) for sure 😅 But I had a blast in the DAW putting it together. I hope you enjoy.

Production Notes

Made in Cubasis 3 for Android on my old Pixel 4a phone, all stock instruments or those available from the official store (Iconica Sketch mainly for the orchestral instruments). Mixed entirely in headphones so I didn't go crazy with the stereo imaging. For something made on my phone I'm super proud of it, but it's hardly perfect 😅
