More information about this project

WATCHER researched the history and culture of electronic music and discovered different genres such as House, Garage, Grime, Drum & Bass. He explored creating rhythms within each of these genres, understanding what makes them unique and implementing learnt skills. He then decided on the genre to focus making a track in – Deep House.

WATCHER Created this Groove which has the basis for a full track to be made. As well as a few structural changes, displaying how the genre revolves around tension and release. He also explored using samples; chopping them up to create a new melodic pattern differing from the samples original context. Using this skill he created a groovy boombap/G-Funk style hip hop beat, taking inspiration from old school Snoop Dogg productions in the 90’s, utilising a funky bassline and guitar sample.
