Song

I made my song completely on Reason.  I started out with a simple drum beat adding in a little more as the song progressed.  Then I layered many different kinds of drums to create my own beat that would play throughout the whole song.  Then I added a bass guitar.  I used chords C,A,E, and G.  Then i added a first motif which I recorded myself.  Everything was then dropped for 8 bars.  Next, I added my second motif which was just an effect that builds.  After this, everything else came back in and I also added another bass drum in a different channel.  The third motif was added after this using only chords in the pentatonic scale, starting with a C chord.  To finish the song, I began dropping out one piece at a time.  The last two things left was the chords that I recorded myself (second motif) and the simple drum beat from the very beginning.   I ended the song by continuing the simple drum beat that I started with.
