DAW Loop Assignment

Electronic Ingenuity by Moises Olaez

This was a really neat and fun process for me I was able to delve deeper into the catalog of loops and sounds that Logic provides alongside those provided by my MIDI keyboard. It was really nice to be able to explore sound without having much instrumental prowess as I am not very verse in any instruments I would like to make music with.

I enjoyed the creativity that I felt I got to express by making music with sounds from all sorts of instruments, and as I was playing around with the structure I found that many of the sounds allowed for me to get closer to the realm of sound that I tend to appreciate these days.

I approached structure in this song in a way I felt was somewhat inventive. I was able to find a vocal loop I really enjoyed that I kind of built the song around, I included it in the intro and allowed it to introduce itself then gave the listener a break as the original drums dissipated. a minute later the vocal loop comes in again a familiar voice as the song gets louder and more full of sound. It goes away once more as the sound goes into a quieter kind of setting right before pushing a climactic outdo that also reintroduces the drums I used in the intro.

There is much to learn and this song is without much polish but I really enjoyed this process and look forward to learning to better craft a song this way or at least incorporate this into the creation of songs. I’m not sure I have what it takes to call any of what I do art but I believe this is a valid way to craft an art piece of sound. This method still requires knowledge of composition and the taste to make something sound good and tell it’s story through sound.
