I have a challenge:

Try to make the best and most complex song as you can, using only ten patterns/whatever you call them!

Post the results here.

>:D

I'll consider undergoing that challenge as soon as I'm done rested from Easter music and stuff.

I guess. Or he means patterns like in FL Studio, but in that case this would be a useless contest since you can practically create a song in a single pattern.

so consider a piece like piano phase which is in many ways compositionally simple but conceptually complex - it also sounds complex af if you concentrate on it as it progresses.

anyway yea OP i'll do this if you outline exactly what you mean by "patterns" in a way that applies to all forms of composition


p.s. i am gay

no, FL uses patterns, idk which DAW you use though

A lot of my earlier songs were done with one single pattern. Now, you'd have to specify just how many bars a pattern uses. Do we cram all the instruments into one pattern, or do we just have one instrument per pattern?

8 bars or less and less than 6 instruments per pattern.
