The rest I used a MIDI controller for, because I don’t own the other instruments, and I’ve never played them before.</p> <p>Take a listen, see what you think.</p> <p>(Music)</p> <p>So that’s the seed of an idea.</p> <p>To develop that into a full-length song, I’ll probably use it as a head, create a chord progression from it, and then improvise. I’ll sing over the chords and play solos just to see what I can come up with.</p> <p>I’ll also try writing some contrasting sections in different modes. A section in F Lydian could be really pretty.</p> <p>I intended to write the piece in E Phrygian, but it really just ended up in E minor, partly because I just didn’t end up using the flat 2—in this case, F—that gives Phrygian its slightly threatening sound.</p> <p>I wrote it in 5/4 time at first, but ended up adapting it to 3/4 because I liked the stroke, glide-glide, stroke pattern better.</p> <p>That&rsquo;s all I&rsquo;ve got. See ya.</p>
