Life Moves Pretty Fast (GCSE Music Composition) - Richard Vaughan

This is a piece of Dance Music I had to write for part of my GCSE music. I used Logic Pro 9. After it was submitted I added some extra samples from the film Human Traffic (1999) and spent some more time mixing it. The samples from Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) were in the original version.

A composer and namesake. Our names are the same, our music is very different. Well done Richard, keep writing.

@setbyserver I like your work very much! I play classical guitar (I don't usually make dance music I just did it for my GCSE) so I may start posting some of that stuff in the future. People might get us confused aha

Hi, i am doing GSCE music and we are also doing composition. I could really do with some help on composing a piece of dance music like yours. If there are any chords, instruments or anything else you used/recommend then please reply. Thanks!

@FearlessFarseer I did a bit of research on the style of dance I wanted the piece to be and listened to some examples first. If you have an idea of the main features of the genre of music (e.g 'four-to-the-floor' kick drums, repetitive loops etc for trance} it makes composing a lot easier. In terms of the actual music side, I just used a simple four chord pattern and played around with a load of different instruments until I was happy. Hope this helped and thanks for the positive feedback.
