3 Multiples of 2 in 3-2 [disquiet0246] Disquiet Junto Project 0246: Double, Quadruple, Sextuple Compose a piece of music that increases speed in stages as it proceeds. - The piece has three sections. - Time signature is 3/2. The base BPM is 60 with jumps to 120, 240 and 360. Automated in LogicPro. - The 1st section. - A made a six note riff was used. Track 1 played as whole notes (4 bars). Track 2 played as half notes (2 bars). Track 3 and 4 played as quarter notes (2bars). To get the quarter notes in 3 and four, the halfs were turned into quarters and then a second note was inserted to follow each quarter. The inserted note was up or down three semi-tones from the previous - loosely following the ascending or descending notes in the pattern. - Tracks 1 and 2 used ambient tones, track 3 was more staccato with an echo, and track 4 was a bongo sound - all from SynthMaster. - An Apple Loop was added for the drums. It was 16 bar 4/4 loops, but it worked well across the 3/2 patterns. - The section starts at 60 BPM and then the BPM jumps every four bars, then drops back to 60. - The 2nd section. - I took the first section, removed the drum loop, bounced the remaining four tracks and ran it through ambient_v0.3. The acceleration is much more subtle. - The 3rd section. - A combination of sections 1 and 2, only the BPM jumps are done every two bars instead of four. - The ending is the echo of 1 and a bit more of 2 fading out.
