Each one of these documents is a zip file, this means the the file expands nto many other files.  Each one of these files has information. Some of the information includes drumset beats, bass line, chords, and melodic lines.  

Reflection

Ableton was a LOT of fun.  All I had to do to create a fun beat was click on little buttons.  I also was able to explore it LIVE.  As I was changing the beat I could listen to it at the same time.  All of this information goes the same for the bass, harmony, and melodic lines.  It was cool to be able to sync each line up to where all 4 were being played at the same time.  This experience opened me up to the more jam-style of music.  It doesn't have to be written on staffed paper, you can repeat and change whenever you want.  It was much more fun and light hearted than most standard westernized music. This experience was unique in that most of my experience with music technology has been writing on staffed paper with noteflight or sibelius.  It was interesting to see how this technology differs from garageband.  It was much more "loop" oriented and easier to play with live.  I learned that loops can be very fun and easy to separate and sync.  This ability would allow for many minutes of music make simply by adding or changing a single loop.  This could be an awesome resource for people who have limited motion, learning disabilities, or younger students.  I think using this resource opens up the mind to what music can be.  Music can be as simple as one bass drum kick or as complex as having 60 independent parts going on at the same time.  This technology could also be used to create backing tracks for soloing or even playing exercises to.  Its basic to complex abilities allow for minimal limits.  I really enjoyed exploring this technology and creating music throughout its process of narrowing down to very specific ideas such as scales, progressions, modes, and more.
