Hey all,
We’ve come to the end, and it’s time to wrap up. As promised we have this last class to do final project presentations and enjoy some time together. Here’s what I need from you.
Currently I have Marquia, Myra, and Jennifer as not attending, anyone else? I need to know how much food to order. And Food will be primary, or at least first on the agenda, so try to save your lunchtime for 2pm (grin)
Next, I need to know exactly who will be performing or presenting and any special needs you’ll have tomorrow. We’ll listen to everybody’s tunes together, however, present or not present. Also, we’ll be doing evaluation forms as well.
Any questions on all of that? Please be in touch. Todd

1. Country Roots (5:20)
2. This song what directed at capturing the feeling of my country roots if you will. I chose a lick from a favorite song of my because I don’t play steel guitar yet. I was hoping to write some lyrics to it, but by the end my beat and composition was to intense to write words to in time. I used an auto filter on the melody at times to chill things out. I filled an instrument pack with favorite found sounds and finely tuned each. I made a different versions of the melody and subsequently a different beats to go with those. And then I was able to mix them up here and there, and find what relationships worked best.
I used arrangement view to compose mainly everything. I find its great to modify MIDI beats that I’ve created more easily in this visual timeline.
3. Country Lick Used: Country Comfort – Keith Urban
Everything else was “found sounds”.
Even though I only used one other source other than my own, I only give myself a 7 out of 10 because my use of the lick was extensive.
