Create a piece of music -- a group project

Afro-cuban is totally the best
it would be good, because the triplet would get the beat at a 104 tempo marking, but as far as notes go , going from a F#, in a b minor to an A to A# gives no tonal center so we need to pick a sort of home base chord that will be repetited  for good quality, and to hook the listener, and i suggest that a vibraphone be added (that's one of the many instruments i play) for it has a pretty sound and is good for wicked improv. solos,  :wink:

lol. riiiiiiight. well, if you want to change my notes fine  :razz:

Amanda

your notes are fine, but not the best :razz:

haha, well what should they be?

depends on what new chord we use

so far we've got vibraphone, pianos , trumpet, guitar, if we're doing afro cuban we need much more percussion! Any1 ?

well if we are doing afro cuban we'll need a drum set for sure, and bongos, um, that little shaker thing... i forgot what it's called. Tim knows.. i'll have to ask him. but yeah. oh, and of course a base (maybe fretless?)
i know that's a lot of stuff but that's what you'd find in an afro cuban rhythm section

well, first off, definetly a drum set, congas and bongos, a shaker, claves, perhaps a guirro, and maybe timbales, as far as bass i suggest a slap bass

You could always use polls in the polls section to help figure out some of these things.  T.B. Taylor, which octave(s) for your chord?

I figured we would start with a melody and work it that way but however.  Which chord progression should we use do you think Tim?

Ok, I'm printing out this whole thread and finally putting it on sheet music.

I haven't had much time lately which is why it's taken so long.

[JazzyTim]

well perhaps a Bb then, dm, then Amaj, back to Bb

[skyestar]

this is freaking awesome. i play cello so if ya need me   .. i dunno where exactly project is at

Whoever posts the notes on sheet music or with a music program, gets to run the thread for a month.  If you only post sheet music you have to send clamicus a copy so she can use it to write on her program so we can hear it using the program.  Edit: I reserve the right to take you out of power, but only if you are a major Nazi.  :razz:
