The Greatest Blessing (Barbara Papendorp)

Assign 6 - Min Pentatonic 12-bars blues

A 30-second fantasy: A Bernard Purdy funk beat with techno clips. 

This is Assignment 1 for the Intro to Ableton Live MOOC. The task is to create a composition with up to 4 MIDI tracks, one track containing percussive drum elements, and with distinct sections. 

The song could use some crossfades and the whole thing needs more work, but those skills are upcoming in the later classes.

Techno + Funk Beat

The barred owl has a distinctive hoot of 9 notes: first a 4-sequence then the same sequence with a sliding note at the end. Here the synth plays the theme, the hoot, followed by the variations: (1) theme played slower at one octave below, (2) slower than the theme but pitched higher, and finally (3) pitched two and a half octaves higher.
