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.

I’m settling on this melody for now. I might play with the second half of the verse to give it a lift.

Music for 12-07-06

This is a verse and chorus I came up with tonight. I’m not really sure how I want to modulate back and forth from major to minor yet. The rhythm of the melody and harmony don’t provide much contrast but the move from minor to major might be enough. Another option is that the verse [...]
