Poizone 4 Sample

This is a sample of my work in progress, Poizone 4: Modal Chords. I have decided that I will not be using pitcher in this project and save it for the next project. Saving pitcher for the next project will enable me to throw the focus of this piece onto modal chords, instead of spreading the focus across modal chords and pitcher. I start off this piece with a noise envelope and jump right into my chords and bass line. The bass line hangs out around Bb but is complex enough to become the focus of the song later on. The bassline continues to evolve and change throughout the song and eventually, an inverted bass line kicks in later in the song, in in a different octave and using a modified version of the bass synth. Gross beat is used to remix the third progression of the bassline. I am still working on an ending to the song, and it will probably involve a little gross beat in one way or another. I hope to have the song completed by next week. Enjoy!

Poizone 4: Modal Chords (Possibly a visit from Pitcher?)

I have begun work on the 4th Poizone project, involving modal chords. As of right now I have two synths. One, a bassline with a longer attack and a rougher, louder lead synth. I am using the dorian (Bb) modal chord progression with the bassline playing two different major triads, and the lead playing a descending melody that mainly hangs around Bb. I am still expanding on this project and am currently searching for more ideas. Pitcher may be used in this project if I can find a good vocal track. All the same, I hope to get a sample out sometime next week.
