Creating music with Apple Garage Band
By ericblue Categories: Music | 1 comments
I started experimenting with
Garage Band 3
earlier this week. I have to say that I’m very impressed with how intuitive it is to compose new
songs. I do have a moderate musical background: 8+ years (throughout school) in various bands
(concert, marching, jazz) and orchestra. But, none of it was really necessary while using Garage
Band.
I originally decided to explore and take a shot at piecing together a techno song. What I ended up
doing was creating a collage of some of my favorite genres. The song, called Transition, is
comprised of 4 main parts. The main purpose of this experiment was to see how smoothly I could make
the transition between different music styles: Ambient -> Techno ->
EthnicFusion/AmbientDub/World -> Trance. Some of the categories are often times difficult to
determine, but this is probably the best description for the main parts of the song.
Here is the song (Transition – 1:38):

I have a very diverse taste in music. Some of my favorite musicians in the genres I listed above
include Robert Rich, Steve Roach, Banco De Gaia, Paul Oakenfold, Astral Projection, Infected
Mushroom, Bob Holroyd, and E.S. Posthumus.
