6/12 After I finished my basic LinkedIn profile, I worked on a small composition in Online Sequencer. ~20 minutes I’m not sure, but I’m having fun with it so far. I’m going for a mellower vibe with a piano and drum section, and I’m trying to apply what I’ve learned about good rhythm sections and having it support what’s happening in the melody, instead of just being flashy.
6/13 I continued working on my composition. ~20 minutes I had a bass line in it yesterday, but I got rid of it because it was feeling off. I might put a new one in, but I’ll have to think about it. I do like how the rhythm is going especially–it’s pretty groovy.
6/14 Continued working on my composition. 10 minutes I added these little rhythmic claves yesterday, which were on the onbeat. I switched them over to the offbeat, and I think it sounds more interesting musically. I also added a grand piano to act as bass notes. I think it’s going pretty well!
6/15 N/A I spent the class working on my LinkedIn recommendation, so I didn’t have time to work on anything.
6/16 I finished my composition! ~20 minutes This was my third-or-so try making an original piece, and I’m a lot happier with it this time around. Enough that I’m gonna stick it here at the bottom. I don’t think it’s a showstopper, but I had fun experimenting with rhythm and chords.
