Chapter Project 5 . a computer game track
We will now follow the creative composition process through using a set brief and applying principles and techniques discussed in previous chapters. The music composed here does not use melodic development to carry it forward, but an additive technique whereby small fragments and cells of material are repeated and transposed to form blocks of material. These blocks are repeated in a loop like fashion and new layers of material are introduced in subsequent cycles to maintain interest. The overall effect is a static one, but that is precisely what we want atmospheric background music.
