Trilateral to Alone

• Key: n/a BPM: 42.222 Time signature: 4/4 DAW: Reaper

• Instruments: n/a

• Plug-ins: Ozone 10

• IDEA: Compose a piece of music that is 75% silence and 25% sound.

• PROCESS: Decided to make the piece 3 minutes long or 180 seconds. 25% of 180 would be 45 seconds. Used a random number generator to get 45 random numbers between 1 and 180. Used random samples between 1 second and 3 seconds long ( mostly 1 second).Placed them on the timeline at the random numbers generated from the generator.

• RESULT: 3 minutes piece with sounds playing randomly over 3 minutes.
