Instrumental.  I've recently spent a bit of time playing with arpeggios, and they have made it into several recent tracks. This track is almost wholly around 1 arp  which is transposed a couple of times, and there is one variation of each. Then there are a few "break" bars with different bits and bobs. The arrangement came together after I added the melody/lead lines so there is a gentle build through the piece, hope you enjoy.

The Last Call Of Medieval Bells, by Patterns of Life

Instrumental, started out just as a simple idea to gradually raise the pitch of the main melodic sound, then wanting to play with FX on the composition generated a few more ideas and here you go. Completed wholly within the Akai MPC1.

Mercury Rising, By Patterns of Life

Fairly rowdy instrumental, bit more of an experiment than usual as I've re-arranged my studio and not everything went as I expected!  This one started from the bass sound testing the various audio connections and going "ooh", and it developed from there. Not as long as I wanted it to be, but I felt anything else would be padding...

Difficulties In A Remote Location, By Patterns of Life

Instrumental, trying to vary my sound a little, not sure I succeeded but good fun as a break from sorting out my rearranged studio - I suspect that will now never be finished as I can use it again!

Uneccessary Evil, by Patterns of LIfe

Mid tempo instrumental with a nice groove, in places!

Wobble, by Patterns of Life

Le Motif, by Patterns of Life

Mid tempo instrumental, started just because I liked the chord stabs!  I did intend to do more with the Marimba sound but  that will be if I ever do  a longer version....

For the Golden Crescent, by Patterns of Life

Short instrumental,  testing out my new studio arrangement.

In a Tropical Storm, By Patterns of Life

Uptempo instrumental, starting from a bass sound I liked on a new synth purchase....

You Can Melt, But I Will Not Bend, By Patterns of LIfe

Uptempo instrumental, started from an idea about using a bass guitar sample but you wouldn't know that from the music!  Was a project put to one side for a year or so but got motivated and managed to complete it, and pleased with the result, hope you enjoy too.
