Music Sketch

Hi,

Making of:
I free styled playing for nearly 40 minutes (during playing i tried to play what i was feeling) and about 8 days later heard it all again and took notes on the minutes that seemed interesting coming up with 3 sections.  Then today i relistened to one of the sections and removed some parts that didn't seem rememberable.  It became this music sketch:

Music Sketch

Hi,

For this one i wanted to have more dynamic piano with a simpler piano.  So I separated out the chords of the simpler piano and used them for left hand and free styled a newer more complex right hand.   I figured out the tempo I was using was around 74bpm and I lined up some of the bass piano to follow more the 74bpm.  Lastly I added a simple drum melody.  There is a little bit of string i used as well.

Dance Theme Sketch

Hi,

I started by extracting a theme from a large quantity of notes i played from feel.  I figured out the theme was roughly at 102bpm and Cubase allowed me to figure this bpm out without changing the themes tempo.

With that extracted piece I started layering on additional piano, string and even flute.  But when i isolated the piano i noticed it needed a stronger base line.  So I free styled some piano chords.  This made me remove the strings and flute and then I added drum and free styled a piano melody.  The drums helped me to adjust the piano melody notes to better fit the 102 bpm.

Making of Sketch

Hi,

For this one i let about a month pass between building on the idea.

I found the portion of song that i liked and used repetition of that theme.  In cubase i could cut and paste the portions to repeat.

Making of Sketch

Hi,

When I sit at the piano I usually have a large chunk of notes that I play within a 30min to 1 hr time.  Sometimes the chunk could be 16min or even 30minutes.

I like to at a later time listen to two large chunks at a time and rest.  I take notes to myself for example of this song:

##
04:21 - 4:50 (1 minor piece “hopeful”)   6:03-07:15 ( >2 pieces “hopeful”) ***
