Here are four tips we found in marking your EDM assignments:
Mr. P and Ms. L
1) The
bass ALWAYS and FOREVER will play the NAME of the chord you are playing on beat
1. If you are playing Eb minor, the
bass plays Eb, if you are playing Gb minor, the bass plays Eb… if you don’t
believe us, ask Mr. Butash, he is a professional bass player with the Toronto
Band THE SAINT ROYALS. If you know what
you are doing you can use inversions, then the rule is similar to number 2 with
melodies.
2) Your
melody will play notes the BELONG to the chords you are playing. If you are playing Eb minor, your melody will
play notes in that chord at that time.
Passing tones can be used if you really know what you are doing.
3) If you
are composing in AB or ABA form, B always should be different from A, never an
exact repeat of A. Make a change in your
music in the middle.
4) Pay
attention to when instruments come in.
Ask a dancer, humans like 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8!
