Windows

As any longtime Windows user can tell you, the error sounds that come with Windows are possibly some of the most frustrating sounds one can hear. Inspired by this video, I decided to cut out the first two error sounds and make a small track with them.

The form is AB. I wanted to add in a fade out section with a similar feel to the start, which WOULD have made it ABA', but A' wound up being too long for the melody. The A section also takes in advice from Belkin's section on introduction - by slowly starting with the two sounds, the song is made to crescendo - not necessarily in volume, but in sound density.

As you can probably tell, there isn't a lot of complexity in the creation. Unfortunately, due to the way the sounds were created, the beats were marginally too short - this necessitated some careful fiddling with the position of the notes. The other major side effect is that this precluded a straight beat. I'm sure with some more time, I could finagle such a one, but in the limited creation window, I had to make do.

I wanted to make another simple melody here, as I used Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for the last assignment, and I hope the simplicity sticks with you!

I commented on Ramune, Pencils, and Chorus.
