You will be composing a piece in Mixcraft that demonstrates your understanding of textures.
Your composition will:
- start with one sound alone
- add a new sound every 4 bars
- have a minimum of 4 layers (drums, bass, chord instrument, melody) but no maximum
- melody is made by YOU with a MIDI keyboard (use white keys on keyboard)
- If using loops, set Key to C Major so your white key melody will sound good
- Have one "Drop" where in rhythm or beat drops out and then is reintroduced.
- Optional: compose any or all parts yourself using MIDI
- End your piece with a reverse texture by removing one part at a time in 4 bars intervals until there is only one sound left.
- Length: Minimum 56 bars. No Maximum
