Project 2: Beginning, Middle, and End
Every good story has a beginning, middle, and end. Every good song should have the same.
Here is an example of a completed Beginning- Middle- End project
- You will be creating a short piece using Sound Loops that is 12 bars long.
- Your beginning, middle, and end will be 4 bars long each.
- You must use Drums, Bass, Piano or Guitar and 1 other instrument loop for each 4 bar phrase. In total this is 12 different sounds in your assignment. (3 drums, 3 bass, 3 Guitar/Piano and 3 other)
- Use a 4 tracks for your four different sounds
- Label you tracks Drums, Bass, Piano or Guitar, and other instruments as you choose them. There should be no tracks left unlabeled.
- Make your Drums, Bass, Piano/Guitar and other instrument change every four bars.
- Your 3 phrases should sound like they are all from one song, but distinctly different from each other.
- Any other instruments you add are your choice once your 4 basic tracks are created.
- As always, have a peer listen to it before you finish it.
- TAKE A SCREENSHOT to show me that your project is set up correctly.
