UNTOLD: Her Life Held Up On Two Feet

This musical composition is a part of Lit Mag: The UNTOLD Issue

You are listening to a sample of a song by Two Feet called “Her Life.” With only four songs out, the artist Two Feet is relatively unknown- their story is yet to be told. I chose this song because it’s catchy and I like the musical components in it. Using a sample from the first few guitar strums of the song, I created an entirely fresh beat that has a completely different sound than “Her Life”. The song title, “Her Life,” is fitting for the theme of “untold stories” because over the course of a lifetime, many adventures and stories unfold, some of them untold. To produce this sample, I used a program called Reason. At first, Reason was very confusing for me as there are so many things you can do with it and has a lot of detail. However, over the course of the session, I have learned a lot and Reason is starting to make more and more sense to me.
