12 bar drum beat with 4 patterns - 4 bar intro, 4 bar middle (x2), and 4 bar outro made using 505 drum set.

Drum Programming

One minute rhythm composition using an original drum track. The drum track has five water bottle banging sounds, one stomp, one water moving sound, and one ice shaking noise. All the sounds were sampled using simpler or sampler and changed to make them sound more interesting.

Rhythmic Noise

Drum and bass composition using Ableton Live. Sound designed a custom bass instrument using the ableton analog instrument. Three sequences in the song. Inspired by deep bass and at the end techno.

Drum and Bass

In ableton I used a piano upright, electric nylon guitar, 909 drum kit, and sax bakers treat. I tweaked the piano by messing with the decay, release, and phaser to get a cool sound. I tweaked the guitar by changing it to plectrum and then changing the stiffness, velocity, and diffusion. I downloaded a sax sound from the internet and started off with the preset bakers treat. Then I tweaked the sax by messing around with the whisper, room breath, attack, filter, and 80s. For the harmony I used an iv, i, iii, vi chord progression throughout the entire piece. I tried to then place strong notes on beats 1 and 3 and weak notes on beats 2 and 4.

Call and Response

Mixed and Mastered EDM track. Original inspiration was trance house combined with Sara Landry techno. Final product is more trance than anything else. I wanted to focus on creating a section that is trippy via use of heavy panning.

Sound Composition

Story told in the style of the podcasts in Midnight Gospel. Story about life.
