My third assignment. A 1 minute piece built in Reason software. I went for a tribal sort of feel with this one. It opens with the log drum from the nn19 sampler going randomly over multiple octaves on the RPG8. A delay is added rather quickly. The drums drop in with a kick on every quarter note. A second drum lands on the off eighth note except for the final quarter of each measure, when the two drums are in sync. A syncopated tom tom is added on top. Finally, the bass, played by a xylophone comes in. A phaser effect is added to the xylophone, which is also going through an RPG8.
Syncing the auxillary to my keyboard helped me adjust the effects just to my liking. Now that I’ve gotten more comfortable with reason, I hope to have a more dynamic song on the next go round.
