I needed to investigate rhythm further, but felt like I already played with making a "weird" or "complex" rhythm in my last assignment so for this one I made a simpler drum rhythm (still using 2 drum kits) that loops and changes itself slightly over the course of the song. I also added a bass and a lead to build off of the drums and try to make the piece whole.

I wanted to make something more upbeat sounding but my refusal to not use the sliced break drum kit and lack of time led me to going the entirely opposite tonal direction. Creepy song #2. Other drum kit used was raged kit 04

I used the Brainfreeze Kit and the Warehouse stutter kit. The sounds they each had were pretty different so I liked using them together.

This song feels like this guy just walked into new jersey 

(this one definitely may need more time in the oven, but I think you can see the ideas I was going for). 

COM381 SOUP - Assignment 5

The goal for this assignment was to create a piece that featured distinct percussion over other melodic elements. Because the drums were supposed to be the most prominent instrument in this piece, I decided to create a drill beat. This is because drill music is generally defined by its stuttering hi-hat and snare patterns, which carry instruments forward and give them their distinctive energy. For my beat, I decided to utilize a sample that repeats basically the entire song to allow the drum pattern to take the forefront. This sample was a loop from the song "Poacher's Pride" by Nicole Dollanganger, a somber folk song that features airy female vocals over sparse guitar playing. I got the idea to use this sample from the artist, XXXTentacion, who also sampled "Poacher's Pride" in his song "WingRiddenAngel". I decided to add a busy percussion line over the main drum pattern during the verse sections to provide rhythmic variation. To end the song, I layered multiple audio clips from "Poacher's Pride" over one another to make the beat more layered and cinematic.

Couldn't figure out what I wanted this piece to be and ended up with a piece that sounds like a rainy evening.
