Developing Music: Latin

Instrumentation:
One of the ways I've used to further develop the rhythm of this piece is by initially having a basic idea and expanding it further on each instrument I've used (piano, bass guitar and drums), so they would be compatible with each other. Meaning when one instrument improvises, the other would play a supporting role (and the 3rd would either drop out entirely or also support).

Simple Chords:
I used simple triad chords for this piece rather than more complex chords such as sevenths because I didn't want it to take the attention away from the other instruments and I didn't want the piano line to clash with anything else. Also, I was already familiar with them and since they were easy to remember, that meant it became easier for me to put down ideas and that allowed me to progress much faster in terms of the composition.

Transposition:
I used this technique to further develop the piece because I wanted to maintain the listener's attention by transposing the relevant instruments (you can especially notice it in the piano and later in the bass guitar), thus making the piece more down-tone, as opposed to the introduction where it sounds bright and happy.

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.
