this is the music that i got given for my animation.. at first i was little sceptical as the first 30 seconds just sound like a jumble of music but as i listen to it more and more it grew on me.
The piece of music is split into different sections which seem to have more and more instruments and beats joining. Each section is quite repetitive until something new is added and then that piece repeats as well.
After listening to this piece of music over and over and over again, i downloaded it onto my ipod so i could listen to it on the go and in different surroundings. I also decided just to sit with a blank piece of paper and write down any thoughts that popped into my head whilst listening to this.
Some of the things that i thought of were:
-Animals - (elephants, snakes, lions, rhinos, parrots, giraffes, monkeys)
-marching bands - (trumpets, trombones, drums, triangles)
-jumping frogs
-electro/techno
-circus' - (juggling, tightrope, gymnastics)
-jungles - (watering holes, trees, noises)
-salsa dancing
-carnivals
-jamaica
-Africa
In a way the music reminds me of traveling.. when another beat/sound is added to the piece its like a new story within the journey.
A bit of info about the Nortec Collective..
'Nortec collective is a musical ensemble formed by various individual one or two man production projects. The group came together in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Their sound genre mixes electronica with musical elements and instrumentation of Tambora and Norteno music, resulting in the nortec ("norteño" + "techno") style. The various projects began producing and performing Nortec music around 1999.'

After reading this i had already thought that the music had a slightly 'techno' feel to it.. However the music didn't remind me as much of techno as it did other things such as animals, countries, circus' etc. From the list of things that the music reminds me of, i also decided that i wanted my animation to have a cartoony element so started researching into companies such as dreamworks and pixar to looks at their animations.
