This is a school project where I used the sounds of a door opening and closing to create a song on Audacity. I used what i believe is the click from keys turning in a key hole as the high hat sound that subdivide the beat and looped it. I then used the sound of the door shutting as the kick drum/ down beat and the sound of the hinges clicking as the snare/ up beat and looped them. Then I found a section of the door squeaking that remained on one note and slowed down the speed to create a bass line. Then I altered the speed of the squeak to create a harmony. Then I used a sped up and reversed squeak of the door to make the higher rhythmic alarm like sounds near the end of the song, some of those sounds were not reversed.

The Audacity of a Door by Amedeo Corey

This piece was made from editing a piece called "Giant Steps" by Joe Pass on Ableton. First I took a segment from the first part of Giant Steps that had a semi-clear meter and looped it. Then I took a part of Giant Steps that had only one note playing and adjusted the pitch way down to create a bass note at the 5th of the Key and looped it for the first part of the segment. Then I adjusted the bass even farther down to create a bass note of the first scale degree and looped it for the second part of the segment. Then I looped the bass line to fill up the rest of the song.

For this project I used audio effects on Ableton on a previous project I created. First I reduced the high frequencies with the EQ 3 effect on the bass loop to get rid of the fuzz on one part of the bass line.
Then I used a frequency filter and automation to make the guitar sound go from very muddled and low frequency to it's normal frequency. Then I looped a part of the guitar line and added reverb to it to make it echo more and contrast with the rest of the music. Then with that same guitar loop I used a LFO filter all the way on high to create a buzzing sound.

For this project i used the Amen break beat recording as a sample. I set the bpm to a specific amount first so everything could be divided evenly. Then i used the simpler audio effect and it's slice function to break the sample into separate attack points and used a MIDI keyboard to create a beat. Then I used time quantization to get all the beats correct and looped the beat. Then i added another midi track to create a rapid high hat sound and looped it.

Rapid Attack by Amedeo Corey

For this project I used MIDI on Ableton for all the sounds heard and to make a sort of dance track. For the drums I used a MIDI drum selection for a few tracks and looped them. For making chords I used one of the MIDI keyboard selections and added the reverb effect. For the bass line I used a bass MIDI selection and looped it. Then I used the operator function and it's white noise selection along with the auto filter effect and MIDI to create a white noise riser effect one hears in a lot of EDM. I then added or deleted parts of the loops to make the song more dynamic.
