Developing Music: Funk

In this piece, I mainly focused on the rhythm of the track to develop this piece from an idea to a developed piece of music. At first, I repeated my idea which was a melody that was rhythmically complex, which included syncopation and a rhythmically simple drum line because they went well together and sounded nice.

However, at one point, it grew boring and got too predictable so I chose to develop it by exploring my choice of scale and increasing the range, which was a scale of B. I used a drum kit, 2 bass guitars (one playing the role of a lead guitar) and 2 synths for my choice of instrumentation and created syncopation into the piece which you can easily hear in the melody and drums. The drums keep at a steady pace throughout the track and stays in time throughout the structure.
