Making guide & Arp Arp Arp!

Yesterday I managed to whip together a kinda nice running melody and a bit of harmonization to it. This is another draft towards a pool of possible starting points for actual tracks.

 

… and, I created a list of, well, conceptual starting points for work on this project, some kind of guidelines:

And, as an added bonus, this is something I made a week ago, inspired by Echer, Bach’s canons (via Hofstadter) and Shepard tone. It’s more of a proof of concept, experimenting if it’s possible to create circular chord progressions that end up where they started without ever turning back. The track below goes through all 12 minor chords two times without ever sounding (too) strange.
