## I decided last night to take a break
from the song I was working on for the last few posts, and try a timed songwriting challenge, and this is the result!  I gave myself 25 minutes, and tried to sort of just casually put this together, instead of giving in to the mad-rush that these timed challenges sometimes turn into.  Overall, I like the idea, and I think I could expand this into a more complete song.  The synth sounds are mostly from Strobe2 library, aside from the bass, which is an Abletunes package.  I also added two tempo changes, where the song slows down two sections in a row.  This was a last minute addition, just to try and add some interest, but I'm not sure how I feel about it... maybe one would be cool, but it gets a bit tooooo slooooowwww the second time around.

## The basic progression is straightforward,
we're in Gminor, and start on a G for 2 measures, Eb for 1, and then C for 1, before repeating.  Track 1 builds that progression, using an audio clip of a synth, which I reversed to create a sort of swell effect.  Tracks 2 and 3 are the drums, kicks and snares respectively.  Track 4 provides the hihats.  Track 5 adds another synth playing our chord tones, while Track 6 plays a little melody line.  Track 7 provides an audio clip for a heavy impact, and Track 8 another little hihat rhythm, to create a back and forth against Track 4.  Finally, we have the synth bass in Track 9, which is pictured in the second screenshot below.
