Week 10 /r/songaweek - Musique Concrete
Musique Concrete is like actually a thing, although I'd never heard of it before, but it's this week's theme, so I'm having a crack at it. 

This is a totally new way of working for me. This was just created in about 3 hours in Garageband. A piece of music where i've recorded largely random sounds on my phone and then messed about with them, resulting in this. 

The rhythmic stuff basically consists of recordings of me:
• running my finger over the black keys of my piano
• tapping the phone
• making clicking sounds with my mouth
• breathing into the phone
• blowing into the phone
• dragging my finger across a brush

Musique Concrete

Just into my 4th month of using Garageband now and I really feel like I'm starting to make some progress. 

An original piece created in Garageband.

The Broken Soul

Original, genre-mix instrumental piece created in Garageband, on a bank holiday when somewhat tipsy. Be gentle. :)

Rush

A short, original instrumental piece for /r/songaweek theme: I-IV-vi-V. Created in Garageband.

I-IV-vi-V

Damn thing. This is less than 1 min, despite what it says.

/r/songaweek - (52) Resolutions
Best listened to with headphones.
I wanted to try and evoke that feeling when you have been trying for years to get your shit together, basically, and then when New Year comes around you keep making that same old promise to yourself of ’This time…’, while keeping in mind your past ‘failures’, and the knowledge that time is passing you by. So kind of a hopeful and at the same time melancholic feel to it, I guess.
Created in Garageband.

This Time (I'm Gonna Do It)

No idea how to describe this. It was a bit of an experiment and a rush. Created in about 3 hours. 

For week 1 of the r/rsongaweek challenge. 'Firsts'
So this is the first time i've incorporated voice into my music. Albeit only a few words. Created using an online text to speech thingy.

r/songaweek  – Week 2 - Patriotic
As i'm not a song writer I figured i'd try and do something cinematic and see if I could evoke a sort of patriotic sounding piece you might hear in a typical hollywood period drama or something. Not sure how successful I was, but i'm pretty happy with it anyway.

The Patriot

A short piece that hopefully works for this week's r/songaweek theme, 'Seventh'.
To write a piece using seventh chords.

r/songaweek – Week 8  – Not themed
Listening to a lot of OST stuff for Halt & Catch Fire recently so as nothing was forthcoming for this week's theme, I wanted to do something electronic sounding again.
