rushringleader Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 This year I take Music Tech, which is a class where you make music in MIDI. We had a Pop Song project where basically we had to write lyrics in a Pop format and also make the music to fit this structure: Verse1 Verse2 Chorus Verse3 Chorus Bridge Chorus I really liked how this song came out for some reason. The lyrics are posted at TRF Musicians. Enjoy, I would love to hear comments! Reflections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I like it! It's melodic, has nice chord changes, and the bass part is really cool. If there's one minor "criticism" I could make, it's that the constant quarter note rhythm of the melody gets a little monotonous after a while. Just a little bit. I'm not saying it's "wrong" or anything like that, because I don't think there's such a thing as "wrong" music (except for Nickelback), but altering the rhythm a bit (like you did in that one spot about a third of the way into the song) keeps the listener's ears perked up. Otherwise, the chord changes and melody all had good harmonic flow. The song shows good songwriting instincts. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushringleader Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 The new and improved version. This version uses samples instead of midi. I decided to keep the same instruments for each track. Reflections.mp3 - 7.35MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he is a bass player. (J/K, bass players please don't stone me!) BTW that sampled one sounds great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
