My goal for Day 2 was to only use five sounds. I have a lead melody, a bass line, a kick, a snare, and a hi-hat. The ambience towards the end is just the lead instrument blurred together to create one harmonious sound. This one was tough. Enjoy!

For Day 3, my goal was to make a beat from a Curtis Mayfield sample. I started looking for samples but I wasn't feeling the creative vibes. Instead, I decided to use a sample from Barrington Levy's "The Vibes Is Right". I feel like my sampling skills could use some improvement but I hope you still like it nonetheless!

My goal for Day 4 was to use any animal sound to make a beat from. I was out of town for the weekend with family and took my daughter to the zoo for the first time. That's why this beat is a bit late. Anyway, we had a great time and coincidentally, I got some inspiration for this beat as well. I chose a sample from my favorite animal: a Gray Wolf. Enjoy!!

I've gotten a little behind with my releases over the past two days. I was out of town and didn't have as much time to work on beats. Day 5 had no  parameters so I decided to challenge myself and write a melody in C Phrygian Scale. It was a lot of fun learning about a new mode of music. Phrygian mode is what gives this song a dark vibe to it and is very popular in a lot of trap music. I hope you enjoy it!

I promise to start getting these released every day. My goal for Day 6 was to make a beat with a BPM between 100-110. I went with 110. I've never made a rock beat before but this was a lot of fun! We all go through a "Bad Boy" phase and this beat brings me back to mine LMAO.
I hope you like it!

My Goal for Day 7 was to make a beat with horns in it. I found some samples and went to work! Sorry I have been so behind with my releases on these... Sometimes life gets in the way. On the bright side I'm still finishing music a lot quicker than I used to. Getting the hang of this thing fast!

My goal for day 8 was to sample a song from a movie and make a beat out of it. I chose the movie "Miracle", a request from a good friend. The big song of this movie is "Dream On" by Aerosmith. I've played hockey my whole life so choosing this movie's soundtrack was exciting. Anyway, I tried making this into a hip-hop beat. I hope you like it!

Hey guys, I am back on the challenge after taking a couple of days off to clear my head and get some things taken care of at home and work... I apologize that I have been MIA. Hopefully I can find the motivation to finish this challenge. I could really use some support from you guys to help keep me motivated!! Anyway, my goal for day 9 was to make a beat with an 808 bass line in it! I've never used 808's before but I hope you still like it. Thanks! Btw, I named the track Late-08 because I am slacking big time....LoL!

Day 10 had no parameters so I decided to make a party beat. I named it Rave for obvious reasons lolol. I hope you like it!
