INSTRUMENTAL

The idea I have for my music project is a rap instrumental. A time signature of four, four will be used. There will be no lyrics or singing with this beat. It will be a simple rap genre beat.
It will have a bass line and f/x will also be used. I will also have voice samples, but no vocals. Everything I produce will be school appropriate.

I used a program called Reason for my music project. Reason is a really good program to compose music. I first had to decide what kind of music genre I was going to use. Then when I figured that out I needed to learn about the time signature I needed to use. After I learned that, to have bass I needed to have hi-hats to keep the rhythm. Then I put the bass and claps after. When my main bass was made I put in effects like a synthesizer and a phaser. I also learned to put in many piano sounds by using the major and minor scale. When I was finished my beat was recorded on a CD.
 

I do not have a long musical history. I have always wanted to learn how to make music, but never had the chance to get into it. I have used really simple programs and machines to produce really simple sounds, but mostly I never used any technical programs. As long as I can remember I have loved to listen to all music. When I was younger my mom introduced me to Mozart and Beethoven. At the same time my siblings introduced me to rap. A few years later when I was about four, rock n’ roll hit me with a bat and had my brain realize that I really loved music. Since then all I need is any kind of music and everything is OK.
