MATTE BLACK

This portfolio is made up of two sections; an Electronic Dance Music (EDM) portfolio that captures the essence of Matte Black and beats portfolio that reflects Metehan's artistic personality, brought to life under the alias of MÛTE.

 

Some of these tracks are neither fully mixed nor mastered, with a few presented as simple loops. Each project is tagged with a 'Status' property, indicating its stage of development, categorized from 'Phase I' to 'Phase V.' To enhance the listening experience for portfolio visitors, most tracks have been made louder using basic EQing, gluing, and limiting techniques. Additionally, these tracks were compressed from WAV format to MP3 codec using Audacity.

 

All EDM works focus on rhythmic expression, low-end mixing, and creating an immersive sound, while all Beat works aim to enhance melodic expression and achieve instrumentation balance.​​​
