This track is comprised of many different clips and samples that were provided. The clips were then placed into simplers and drum racks to get the desired rhythm and melodies that i wanted. This track is a very laid back, simple melody that incorporates some syncopated rhythms in the drums.

This track features the use of the different sound waves that we were given, including the noise, saw, square and tri waves. The track starts off with just some ambient noise slowly creeping. It then leads into a simple drum pattern with some simple melodies in the back ground. You then start to hear the bass underneath it all that gives the track a bit more stability. Later it goes into the B section of the track and in this section i switch up the drum pattern and the bass. The track then ends the same way it started with the ambient noise fading out into nothing.

This track is just a small sketch or beginning of a project. In this sketch i played around with the arpeggiator. i use this in the main melody in the beginning and throughout the track. in the middle of the track i have some low ambient bass to fill out the sound and then a funky drum pattern in the background.

Sketch #1

In this track i played around with the arpeggiator midi effect. i use this in the main melody in the beginning and in the melody throughout the track. i have some low ambient bass in the middle to fill out the sound a bit more and i also have a funky drum pattern in the background.

This track is a short little experimentation with the flanger sound effect. The track first starts off with a drum pattern that has no effect on it. It then goes into another drum pattern that has a slight flanger effect on it. after this next drum pattern i start with a melody with some chords underneath it. i added some more flanger effect and tried to push the effect as far as it could go without making the sound of the melody and chords sound bad.

Sketch #2

In this sketch, i tested my luck with the phaser technique. In the track i have a drum pattern underneath the melodic idea that uses the phaser. The main focus of this sketch was to get some different sounds in the melodic idea through the phaser. I also threw on the random MIDI effect to give it more of a natural quality.

Sketch #3

This track is an extension of my little experimentation with the flanger sound effect. The track first starts off with a drum pattern that has no effect on it. It then goes into another drum pattern that has a slight flanger effect on it. after this next drum pattern i start with a melody with some chords underneath it. i added some more flanger effect and tried to push the effect as far as it could go without making the sound of the melody and chords sound bad. After this i then go into an extended version or another variation of some of the melodies and drum patterns.
