<center></center> ## Last night, I found a couple of synth samples where essentially it just plays a note, then again an octave higher, and higher once again, 4 or 5 times, so when imported into the Simpler Instrument on Ableton, you can make some crazy, super off-kilter melodies when playing various chords. I wrote 4 songs using these instruments, this is the only one with an electric drum kit, the others all just use a glitchy drum sample, also played with a Simpler. ###### <center>[Listen to *BitBrain* here.](https://soundcloud.com/grapthar4/bitbrain)</center> ## Tracks 1, 2, and 3 use the samples in the Simpler, and just play a continuous C note, which because of the sample, rise and falls all over the place. Each of these 2 tracks uses a different synth playing the progression, and at slightly different speeds, so the notes feel super random. ###### <center>Track 4, electric piano, described below.</center> ## Track 4 is the only instrument in any of the four songs that isn't a Simpler. It's just an electric piano, but I loved the way the chords fit with the crazy, off beat backdrop from the previous 3 tracks. It plays a C5, Dminor, Bbmajor, C7, Dmin7, and finally Dminor, before repeating. Track 5 is the last track, and is our drums. I used an electronic kit, and began with just a kick/snare beat. Instead of adding a hihat rhythm, I used a weird hit called "Metallic", which is sort of a metal/mallet sound. I screwed around with the transposition, which builds up, then slowly drops lower and lower before repeating. Turned out pretty cool, just a simple effect to make things less repetitive. ###### <center>[Listen to *BitBrain* here.](https://soundcloud.com/grapthar4/bitbrain)</center> ## Hope you've enjoyed the walkthrough! I'll be sharing the other 3 songs like this over the next few days, so stay tuned! _________ <center> <iframe width="100%" height="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/484395279&color=%23641c54&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true"></iframe> ________ ###### ||| [EP 1 - Bandcamp](https://thesupplekrew.bandcamp.com/album/ep-1) | [EP 2 - Bandcamp](https://thesupplekrew.bandcamp.com/album/ep-2) | [EP 3 - Bandcamp](https://thesupplekrew.bandcamp.com/album/ep-3) ||| ###### ||| [EP 4 - Bandcamp](https://thesupplekrew.bandcamp.com/album/ep-4) | [EP 5 - Bandcamp](https://thesupplekrew.bandcamp.com/album/ep-5) | [EP 6- Bandcamp](https://thesupplekrew.bandcamp.com/album/ep-6) ||| ___________  </center>
