we were given the task of writing a 32 bar composition. For this we could do whatever we thought would sound good but we had to include an audio file or sample of some sort and we had to have an A and a B section in it. I started by creating an audio file using the bass guitar. I started off with a short riff in the key of G major. However, because it wasn’t as simple, I was struggling with a musically different section that I could use. So i decided to change it and use the singular notes but with it harmonics. Next I focused on getting an acoustic guitar on there, I used Logic’s software instruments for the rest of the elements. For this I just used the same chords that were being played on the bass guitar but with only 1 strum each time a chord was played. Next was the drums. To be totally honest I had no idea what I could do for this so I started off by using just the kick drum and adding bits in like the high-hats, cymbal and some clapping. Then I added the piano. this was created just by using an arpeggio of the chords. Finally I added some studio cellos from logic just to try and fill up the song a bit more but was played using contrary motion. Follow the link below to listen to how it turned out.
