I’m working on an audio presentation for a bioethics project (think This American Life meets Trauma: Life in the ER storytelling) set to sound effects & music. Looking for an outro piece of music to end the segment, something instrumental that can play background to voice-over, then come to the fore and end the piece. The content involves end of life issues, so something downbeat but not sad or depressing (I’m thinking sparse & acoustic) would be fitting. I need probably 30 seconds or so without vocals, or vocals that can be brought in after the voice-over ends that wouldn’t be detrimental to the piece.
At present I’m working with a loop of the opening segment of this song, but the audio levels are uneven and somewhat distracting. Wasn’t able to separate the vocals, otherwise it would’ve been a perfect fit. Can’t think of anything comparable.
Suggestions?
