This one was built from my daughter's piano playing. She's just getting to point where she's making up some of her own chord progressions. She still doesn't know where to go next with them to make a song. I'm not really sure what to tell her other than "keep playing, keep trying, there are no rules." I can show her what I would do with those sounds though, even though it's a much different weirder thing than she probably hears in her head. So I took a recording of her playing those chords she likes, and some arpeggios, chopped them up on the Push, then tinkered around and rolled with the first ideas that came to mind, and layered in the rest of the sounds. Was a quick flowing process, kind of taking the first things that came out. Not a big epic song that she deserves, but it's an example you can take a few notes and turn it into something. Did some weird vocal sounds through the Organelle which was fun. Improvised some lyrics like "Fly high, but don't fly away." In hindsight maybe those meant something. We want the kiddos to fly high, but not fly out of our lives completely. They will leave the nest someday though, to go our and make their own songs.
