Marlowe Drums 1 Session / musc-9-drums

For this track, I started off finding a basic drum pattern that I liked. I wanted a catchy bass line - probably could've tweaked it a bit more but I think that adding in all the variations with the high/low pass plug-ins and drum changes makes it work better. Used the amplifier plugin quite a bit as well and also added lots of variations in the bass to try and match what was going on with the frequency changes. This relates to minimal techno because it's a pretty steady beat with the same instruments but takes the listener up and down through some changes. Definitely a more challenging piece because it's more time consuming, but the most fun genre I've been able to make a track in! Even though I don't LOVE techno :)

I am definitely the most proud of this track out of the 5 I created for Music 9. I think I worked the hardest on it and used almost every technique we learned in class! I really wanted to incorporate a bit of everything, utilizing super-smooth variations and playing around a lot with MIDI instruments and "basses." I used the High-Low Pass Filter (which I love and hear super often in tracks today!) many times as well as repeated MIDI buses and subtle changes (or not) in the rhythm pattern. Mostly used 808-kit instruments but some other sounds. Normalized a few individual sounds but mainly did an audio bus of all tracks to control volume better than I did in my last track! Feedback welcome, I had fun with this one. Definitely drummy, but
