Cmin 62bpm 10-24-07

October 24, 2007

This is a common progression in Cmin with a smooth jazz triplet feel. I programmed the drums, bass, phaser Rhodes, and improvised a short solo on an EXS24 Steinway piano.

Dmin 75bpm 10-16-07

I was feeling mellow today and needed to spend some time in the new Logic Pro 8 so this is what I came up with.

Looks like I’ve been spending a lot of time in Dmin lately.

10-11-07 Dmin 88bpm

This slow techno/R&B track begins with A phrygian chord and is tonally centered on Dmin Aeolian. I was playing around with the new Logic Pro 8 Template Chooser and used the basic electronic template as my palette.

I quickly came up with a simple descending synth hook that I liked. I’m also playing around with a vocal melody that’s not in the mix yet.

Emin 120bpm 04-28-07

I started this just over a week ago but have been too busy to spend much time writing or recording. Lame.

I wrote this with two things in mind: (1) working out, (2) a heist. So if you can imagine me training for The Italian Job, then you get the picture.

C#min 110bpm 04-10-07

A whole bunch of funky blips and bleeps in C#min at 110bpm. I’ve got a hook to go with this but have yet to record it.
