I do not have a strong musical background. I played the piano when I was very young and trombone in the 4th grade. I remember some terminology when it comes to reading sheet music, but not much. However, I have played around with a few different music software interfaces including, Audacity, Ableton, Fruity Loops, and Djay. I was interested in this class because I listen to a lot of hip-hop music that is pretty much entirely digital production at this point, many famous hip-hop producers rarely incorporate live instrument sounds. I think it would be fun to learn more about composition and how to use these tools. Creatively I am looking to be able to create hip-hop music that has intricate drums patterns. I would be interested in collaborating with others.
