Comments about Assignment 3

I started out wanting to do this project in the Ambient style. I began with some drony synth sounds but I didn't really want to deal with environmental sounds and some other aspects of the style, so I switched to Techno. First, I created a drum beat with a strong bass drum on every count. I used a few different techno drum patches from Dr. Rex but other than that the percussion part was relatively minimalist. I used one melodic progression, starting with a C-minor arpeggio, and recreated it with a few different synthesizers in different patterns. I used a lot of the reverb effect. I tried to avoid having any sort of climax in the melodic structure. I think the parts are a little too separate, and the melody is very distinct from the underlying drum pattern, so it is not actually classically in the techno style.
