Music - March 11

180th day of 2016.

I have made another attempt of the Bridge. I have the Melody down and half of the Bass...

Can't wait to finish it!

175th day of 2016.

My attention was divided between both the Music and my Witch Tower design. I did a bit of each and the Music prevailed. I have completed the Melody and Bass for Verse and Chorus. Just Bridge and Harmony left. :/

It took me a few tries, the thing I accomplished is just touching up the Chorus Bass and making it longer. Nothing too big, but consider something done since I am too ambitious today to do both things. Witch Tower also have some break through, finally settle on the levels.

166th day of 2016.

Focusing on figuring out the Time Signature, 3/4 seemed to work much better than 4/4. In addition to that, I have also twerk a bit of the Verse's ending, so now I can repeat the Verse twice with different ending. I think I am going for the music structure of V1-V2-C-V2-C-B-C.

I am reconsidering to remake the Bridge... cause the more I listen to it, the more I think it match better to the other music I am also doing.

Time signature, oh my.
While I am arranging the structure of the music, I came to realise the notes' beats are a bit off. After playing for a dozen times, and patting the beats on table until the palm turn red, I discovered that... my Verse and Chorus segment seemed to have different Time signature.

*slaps forehead* Honestly, after so many years, this is the first time I realize how Time signature plays a part. When I learn music years ago, I could hardly differentiate 2/4 or 4/4, and yes, I always get a big red cross for adding a fraction line between them, lol.

Refuse to separate my Verse and Chorus in two different beats, I try to figure out is there other way to calibrate their beats together. :/  Above is my attempt of changing the Verse from 3/4 to 4/4. The noticeable part is there less slur. My slurs are all over the place. :/

163rd day of 2016.

It really helps when studying the various components of a music structure. I have the Chorus, then have the Verse. Today, I tried to get some tunes to flesh out more, aiming for Bridge.

As it happens, while I am replaying the existing tune dozen of times, I also refined Chorus and Verse tunes.

160th day of 2016.

I scratch off the last attempt and start anew. This time, I finally learn to use the 'chords' theory, and try finding the prominent few key tones in the tune and whip out a less dramatic piece. I also make sure it ends the same note with the first note.

 It is a bit short, but at least this time it flows better to the next segment than the previous attempt.

158th day of 2016.

I am trying to figure out how to match the tune with either Intro or Outro or verse. This is the first attempt. After hearing it together, it just doesn't fit. :/ Oh well, expected to be unsuccessful as an amateur.

154th day of 2016.

I had been humming this tune since yesterday while showering. I was humming some other songs which I forgot at this moment, and then I attempted to change some tunes and tempos and mix with other influences to come out with this piece.
 
I hope it is original enough. This is like my 3rd time scoring in this programme, the previous ones were just around tens seconds short tunes. I would hope that this can come up to at least 2 minutes.
