Donya Quick

Electronica with a little bit of everything else thrown in.

My older work is mostly MIDI based, 99% composed with a mouse by clicking notes onto a digital score. My newer work is more mixed-media, including both fairly standard MIDI work as well as recorded sections from acoustic and electric instruments.

"Descent" is an Experimental Sounds track by Donya Quick on SoundClick. The sound is shaped by synthesizer and harmonium, giving the song its signature feel. The production choices here reflect a genuine understanding of what makes experimental sounds work. It has charted at #19 on the SoundClick Experimental Sounds chart. "Descent" is part of the Donya Quick catalog on SoundClick, where independent artists connect with a global audience. Download this song for free on SoundClick.

Story behind the song

The following samples were compiled from freesound.org and used to create instruments. However, not all of these made it into the final set that I used for composing this track.
