STS 349 SPRING 2020 ASSIGNMENT 1 VERSION 2.0

I am deciding to use this track for assignment 2. It uses Arp Pluck as the one sound with sound manipulation using 2 resonators and a mallet effect. I can definitely add to this; change the key and have a nice leading melody.

For the final project I’ve regressed to the music that has been the background soundtrack of my life - thanks Dad! He introduced me to the joys of progressive rock (Hawkwind/Pink Floyd), heavy rock (Led Zeppelin/Rush/Queen), adult rock (Dire Straits) and synth-bands (Tangerine Dream/Brian Eno). 
I play guitar and have an extensive range of pedals and have developed an interest in synthesizers, sound generator and sequencers in general, thanks to Garageband in iPad.
The mellotron background effect (Long) is generated by guitar chords played through an EHX C9 Organ emulator slowly panned and mixed down. The single organ chord immediately prior to the heavy rock (Das Punka) section was created using the same pedal. The synth-sounds were produced using an arpeggiator in Garageband.
The guitar sections are both multi-tracked and recorded using a looper, reverb and panning effects on top of the chorus used in part 1 (twanger) were added in Ableton, with phaser and delay added to the overdriven guitar in part 2 (Das Punka).
It’s obvious I’m not a drummer but hat’s off to the late great Neil Peart!!!
All parts were recorded separately in Ableton and saved as .wav files before being imported into the final project.
