music improvisation and performance skills.

Friday 19^th September

I am going to start looking at using Ableton to create beats and improvise in a live performance.

One of the tracks I looked at was 

Flux Pavilion - Lines In Wax (feat. Foreign Beggars), 

i really like the bass drop in this track but i don't like the vocals. i got the track from youtube, here's the link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx2nH2RJEAA 

Another track i saw was funt case 50 caliber, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP55VCEhRKs when the drop kicks in i think it sounds really, really good ! so im thinking about either using the part at 0:11 to 0:22 as the drop build up ,  also maybe use some of the YOY bass sounds and sample them in.

in this picture i was using the ableton push to make beats as i go along, i really enjoyed using this device as i learnt so much in terms of making sure the beat is in bar and in tempo.     

in this picture i was using ableton again and was using the quantize feature because i recorded in a kick pattern , but it wasn't quantized so i used the CMD + U feature. 

Here i was listening to the timing of the beat, and added more sounds in as the  beat was progressing.I was improvising and experimented with different sounds and beats form ableton's sample bank, chose the ones that sounded good and then placed them into the beat
