For the finale of the soundscape, like the chapter on religion I wanted it to be fairly minimalist, I kept the piece to the fundamentals again. But used the key Elements from each chapter to formulate this.

I used the Gunfire from War to form a rhythmic pattern which i deliberately offset so the listener once again has to focus more closely on the piece itself. It also incorporates the sounds and sonic ambiences of Francesca yet again, with the two sides (War/Religion) playing alongside one another in harmony. This is meant to state the fact that throughout the exotic elements of the middle east and its culture, wherever there is religion and radicalisation. There will be war and chaos. These two elements go hand in hand.

There’s not really a lot to be said about the production of this chapter, the last bit of the contrast shows the use of most of the pads, textures and elements from war such as the heavy artillery which you can see in picture one above. and incorporated the chanting, and syrian strings from the beginning of the soundscape, taking all the critical key elements of what I’ve used to sonically reconstruct my adaptation of Middle Eastern culture and put them all together for one final ‘clash’.

To ease out of the soundscape I’ve used the recording of the winds, and Francesca’s soft vocal ambiences to gently ease out of the soundscape.
