Developing Music: Electro

Rhythm:
One technique I used to develop the rhythm of the piece is by replacing the role of a drum kit with my own voice and with the use of a Vocoder, I was able to adjust the pitch information which allowed me to make and develop my rhythmic ideas. By doing so, the rhythm develops throughout the song from a simple idea to a complex outcome.

Timbre:
Once again, by using my own voice (through a vocoder) as an instrument, it also allowed me to develop the timbre of the piece by changing the tone of my voice which gives each little sound (audio/recorded voice) their own unique character. For example, Vocoder Synth 2 works more like a bass while Vocoder Synth 3 sounds like a moth's/mosquito's wing with a feint synth lying underneath it.

Variation:
By chopping my recorded voice in different ways, creating  patterns and using different notes, this allowed me to get different sounds which I achieved by changing the pitch information throughout the track. By doing so, this allowed me to turn it into a progressive track which meant I didn't need to use the same idea over and over.
