A third species counterpoint exercise I completed for Dr. Jason Allen's Music Theory course on Udemy. The cantus firmus in the bass is courtesy of Dr. Allen, I write the 4-to-1 melody in higher register.

Lullaby For My Family

This is a riff I plan on developing into a full song. There is no title yet, so I just call it "First Score." I recorded the parallel harmony a third above my original melody. I don't know which direction I plan on moving with this song, so I just loop the riff 8 times to help spark my inspiration. Tell me where it should go next!

First Score

Another compilation of riffs I plan on turning into a song. I left the arpeggio harmony as is, I'm sorry for the out of sync playing! I'll record a new version once I have both parts in perfect timing.

Loose Song Idea

This is a fun sweep-picking medley I made recently. The harmonies are a third apart again. I'll branch out soon, I promise!

Sweep The Floor

A tiny descending arpeggio harmony. Maybe a ringtone? lol

Short Sweeps

The first continuation of First_Score. I added a harmonized diminished run and only play the first riff 4 times instead of 8. Do you like the direction it's heading so far? I feel like this would be an appropriate time to segue into a verse.

First Score 2

I added a verse section to First Score. This is my first time composing a song with this much movement, so I haven't branched out of the first few chords of the scale yet. I experimented with harmonizing intervals other than thirds, but I haven't made the second melody independent yet. I'll keep adding more as I think of it!

First Score 3

This is just a simple chord progression between B and C major arpeggios that has been done a million times over (I and II of phrygian dominant). I looped it several times so so that my buddy can write some rhymes over it. Let me know if you're interested in adding a beat to it! I was thinking something with groove and syncopation, but I'm open to any ideas.

B To C Groove

I'm finally learning how to make drumbeats and thought I'd upload a simple chord progression using min7 chords that I've looped several times. I find it relaxing to sit back and listen to. Send me a message if you'd like to use this track!

Relax Beat

I'm working on a fun Halloween track! I'm uploading a small sample of what the arrangement will sound like. I'm going to record it on guitars and bass in the next couple weeks! I hope you enjoy it!
