This sounds good! I like the experimental music in the beginning, it makes it feel a bit creepy. All the other instruments go well with each other.

I really liked this project. We were able to make cultured music. I focused on making music I liked the most, like balkan music. I like balkan music.I like the instrumental music part. The music that impacted me the most was mariachi music. I related to that the most because it is related to my culture the most. It's the traditional music that I really like and that is why I included it. It really expresses my identity. I also added the medieval music to modify the rhythm and added it for a third music. I also added drums because it added a good background. I also added guitarron twice and that was also for promoting background.

Cumbia is a music style from Colombia that was designed to reflect the many cultures inside of the country such as from Africa. It features tambors are used to create the beat while a cantadora inherently sings over the beat.

A group of people told me that Space Demons are going to come to Earth and try to rule it. The group of people told me that the key to destroying them is music. So my goal was to create some sort of absurd piece of music. I traveled through time and space in order to gather information. My first stop is African Pygmy Music. I had to travel all the way to 500 BCE. It was a longgggg trip. I used the Hocket Rhythm because it has an ostinato which makes it oddly unique. This would make my piece sound a bit unique and a bit absurd at the same time. My second stop was Mariachi Music. The gutarrion and the vihuela sounded so amazing that I had to add it to my music. This will make my music sound inherently amazing. My third and last stop was Film Music. The western instruments add some sort of bass to my piece. The erhu has a glissando which adds some sort of sympathy and calmness to my song. My music promotes victory against the Space Demons. My music’s absurd design brings the Space Demons down to their feet. It shows them that us humans are the dominant race!!!

While I was traveling all around the world in different time periods,I studied and learned different types of styles of music. I did think to save the world from the space demons that were attacking. There was only one way to defeat them, I had to write a song with many different types of styles. When I heard the Orb of Glon had been killed I knew I had to focus and ensure my song would be ready in time.

One of my first stops was Taj Mahal around the 1600s during the Moghul rule. In order to get in we had to hire some famous classical Indian Musicians. The instruments they played were the sitar, the tambura, and the tabla. All the instruments sounded so beautiful when they were played together. Especially when they played the raga. Which is why I included it in my song.

Then I went to the Ituri rainforest, in the northeastern Congo in Africa, around 500 BCE. There we met pygmy people who had an interesting and different style of music. Their music was a hocket rhythm, so you heard different voices but together there was harmony. Knowing this I knew it had to be included in my piece because it would bring the music more harmony.

My last stop was at Guca, Serbia(Balkans) in 2011. In there I learned about the Ramani people and their music and how it was part of their identity.This style of music was very unique. It was instrumental music and it was fast paced which I had to incorporate in my music. This made it flow and it tied it all together by adding more detail.

My music demonstrates how different styles have the capacity of being united and defeating the space demons. At the same time sounding good and having a huge impact on the space demons’ brains. Furthermore, using different sounds like the car horn makes it impossible for the space demons to come back to the Earth. They won’t see it coming!

I wanted to focus on making the music calm and with slow tempo, but with a little fast tempo. The underlying meaning of the one fast tempo style of music is hope, while the others had slow tempo, calm styles meant loneliness and quietness. I chose to combine different kinds of music from entirely different regions because I felt like the world needs to connect and work as a whole in order to survive, but that’s not what we’re doing right now. Furthermore, new problems continue to emerge one by one and it’s endless, but I feel like if we do work together we would be able to fix those problems and we would be even more civilized. I went with the theme of how it’s sad when one person is alone and how it’s better to be surrounded by a lot of people.

The first style I used was the Indian Classical music. This style usually includes a tabla, tambura, and sitar, so this style of music is calm, yet somewhat upbeat. I only included the sitar to emphasize the calmness because this instrument gave a feeling like one person is standing alone in front of a river during the sunset. It made me feel relaxed, yet uneasy because that one person was all alone.

The second style I used was the African Pygmy music. This style is usually an ostinato, so in my music as well, the same rhythm was repeated. The rhythm in this style is called a hockett rhythm where the same rhythm is shared among different  voices, and this rhythm can also include polyphonic music to include more variety. This style reminds me of nature especially because this music can be played with anything and anywhere, so even if somebody was abandoned on an island alone, they would be able to make this kind of music with the resources around them. This music can be played even if you’re alone as long as you have resources around you so that you don’t have to feel alone. It’s sad that somebody’s alone, but it’s better to make them feel less alone.

The last style I used was the New Orleans Traditional Jazz music. This style is usually played by creoles, so there's a variety of people playing the same music as a whole. It has syncopation so the music sounds

I enjoyed the fact that the music had different instruments incorporated, such as, the tabla, tambura, and sitar, in order to emphasize different kinds of feelings by creating different rhythms. Furthermore,the accent being played for each instrument per note shows a huge range of uniqueness within just this one style of music, which is fascinating to me. They modify the rhythm frequently, so it’s hard for me to predict what kind of rhythm is going to be played next, so I find that interesting.

I combined all my music I made starting from Jazz to Indian then to African music to counter the evil space demons. Space demons hate music, since the music I created was so powerful it was strong enough to destroy the Space demons. They are evil people from space that have killed the orb of Glon. They had to die because they've killed the orb of Glon. If we don't stop them now they will get more and more powerful, being able to terrorize almost everything. So we had to take precautions before they did even greater damage. The music destroyed the space demons due to their great sound effects and instrumental powers. Some credit I give to is the ostinatos, hockey rhythm, creole, and the spirituals they did the most damage to combat the space demons. The mariachi music and the vihuela also gave us a lot of benefits. It displayed a lot of factors that helped us combat the space demons. Furthermore, this music really modified the future for humans since he destroyed them and we won't have to worry about future damages from the space demons.

Some of the things that I noticed from both of the music is that they both are instrumental music, and that both of them use compound time, which makes it unique from other music. This makes the style of music different in Serbia from other countries because it makes an impact into how their culture and style is unlike most other countries.

As I have traveled through time and discovered many ancient styles of music, searching for the best types of music to finally defeat the space demons. After spending many weeks trying to mix all of these styles of music, I have finally created a masterpiece that will defeat the space demons. The name of this song is “Space Demons Are Gone”. It is titled this way because the space demons are actually gone.

As you hear the first couple of measures in the music, it introduces all of the music but it also creates a nice beat that scares away the space demons. Certain components of the music are meant to scare the space demons away, such as the evil laugh at the end and the scream. However, the main parts of the music are meant to be smooth parts.

The first part where the music comes into play is at measures 7-10. You hear a combination of both the New Orleans Traditional Jazz and the Colombian music. This is demonstrated through our time travel expedition. The New Orleans Traditional Jazz is a Syncopation while the Colombian music is Mariachi music. Despite the fact that this part may not scare the space demons, it’s impact is still enough to take them down.

Right after that, you hear the main part which includes almost all of the parts I have included except the Colombian and New Orleans Traditional Jazz. However, it contains the Balkan music. You can barely hear it, but it is still there. The Balkan music is instrumental music, which means it has no singing, like all of the other parts. It contains compound time, although only the tuba part is included.

The music ends with an evil laugh and a man screaming, which scares the space demons away. Overall, the music sounds very good when put together because it has its own identity. This music is sufficient to scare the space demons away while also providing pleasure to your ears. The space demons are officially gone.

Here is another one of the four styles I used in my piece.

This mariachi music is in Ranchera style, which I suppose is different from mariachi music prior to the revolution. The song is played in waltz, or 3/4ths time. The bass clef is mostly composed of chords from a guitarron, which is a bass guitar. The treble clef notes are much faster and jumpier, played by a vihuela, another type of guitar.

This is one of the styles I orchestrated in my piece.

This style of music is a mix of traditional Chinese music and western music. It has an erhu, a traditional instrument, playing a glissando, accompanied by some western instruments such as a cello and drums.

This music is instrumental and I think that that is a good thing. There is someone using a helicon and the rhythm is compound time, so its in groups of 3 nor 2 or 4. These people probably are romani, as at the time that this was made they might face discrimination.

I made my composition through a combination of my surroundings and what I’ve grown up doing. This song that I made uses a combination of both drums and piano, which makes it a very lively beat. In the begining there is a guitar, which really introduces the song. I named the song “Strolling” because the sound reminds me of taking a walk in the park, and just strolling around, hence why the name is “strolling”.

My composition, aptly named ‘Musical Mash-up’, is comprised of 4 different orchestrations of different styles of music. Each orchestration has its own unique instruments, while sticking to a central melody/chorus. The main melody is just a piano chord progression with trumpet and bass.  This melody is section A, or the primary section.

The first style represented with orchestration is Traditional Chinese music. For that, I used a flute for the melody, and cello for the bass. It was played in style B, which is different from the notes of the main melody.

The second style I used was Mariachi music. I used a different type of trumpet for this section, and changed the notes to be more jumpy, which added the component for section C. I also added an underlying guitarron to accompany the melody, and a double cello for the bass notes.

The third orchestration I created was in the style of African Pygmy music. I created a call-and-answer type style by using two voice instruments which preceded one another. I used congas to more promote the call-and-answer type theme. This was played with section B notes.

The final style that I used was medieval music, which was a fairly simple orchestration, and played with section C notes. I just used violin for the melody and again, cello for the bass notes.

At the end of the song, I created a final melody that involves the orchestrations from all the other styles to create a jumble of music. At the VERY end of the song, I put in just the chords, which faded out slowly.

This piece of music was created for one sole reason, to fight back against the space demons. They wanted to control the entire universe, and snuff out creativity forever, as they thought it was “too dangerous to be kept around”. At the battle of Vorpalandia, this song was played, and it fired the neurons of every space demon, as their brains didn’t have the capacity to process such creativity and diversity. The universe lived happily ever after, the end.

Since the music is instrumental music, it impacts the song because the helicons as well as the other instruments really have to keep their fast and lively sound in order to keep the audience's attention. I feel that since its purely instruments it also impacts how much effort the band puts into the music which gives the result of good music.

The three types of music I decided to use were cumbia,medieval, and balkan music. The reason that I decided to use these types of music is because they didn’t interfere with each other too much, so the design of the music was easier to make, and if at certain points they did I was able to modify them in order for them to fit in with each other. All of this allowed me to f ocus more on my original music samples rather than having to edit the music a lot so that it would fit better.

I decided to use Medieval music because it's a plainchant. I liked how it sounded just by itself and figured that it would be a good start to the music or be a good way to transition to the other types of music. Since it was a Monophonic plainchant it also allowed for me to blend it in with the other types of music since the accompient was non-existent in this type of music, which means it wouldn’t sound too bad if combined.

I then decided to also use Cumbia music because of the tambor. Since the tambor isn’t too loud but adds a lot to the music, I decided to try reversing the music sample and changing its pitch. After a while I was able to blend it in more because the reversed tambor made music which fit in more with the medieval sample and also with the beat I added.

I also used Balkan music because of it being more like instrumental music.This combined with its compound time  allowed for me to make it different in various ways. I was able to change its pitch,reverse, and also cut pieces and replace them with others and it still sounded normal. It also allowed for it to fit in with the beat and blend in better with the types of music I used.

Through time we traveled to many places starting from medieval times all to New Orleans.  We see a range of music. We combine many of the music types going from plainchant to New Orleans traditional jazz music to exceed and ensure victory upon the space demons.

One of the stops was New Orleans. I learned that they were played by Creoles and due to Code Noir which was a law, they allowed Creoles to make music where jazz is born.

Another stop is Mexico but not just any Mexico but it’s in the 1930s. I learned how people in the revolution played Ranchera which then became what it is now which’s Mariachi music.

Another stop is Serbia. I learned how Balkan is instrumental music and how it’s mostly played by Roma people.

These pieces of music influenced my composition because they were used to show the pieces of music I learned. Furthermore these pieces of music combined together made a powerful wave of sound which the impact then destroyed the space demons.

A long time ago, a dominant alien species from the planet of Larnburg had a thirst for taking control over all planets that had discovered and implemented music. What they didn’t know until recently was that a very important music teacher (Mr. Stapp), a hero in disguise, was one of the most important reasons for music development and realization. He led his students back in time to discover many great pieces. These would include Plainchant, Spirituals, Ceremonial pieces, Waltz, and much more. The Aliens never knew about Earth, the only planet that could compete with the Aliens with their musical development. This led to the plotting to destroy Earth. However, Aman Thakur knew about this plot long before anyone else did. For those that don’t know, Aman was Mr. Stapp’s favorite student and also his secret assistant hero. Therefore, after incorporating pieces of music from the past, created a mind astonishing piece of music. It incorporated film music, mariachi music, some original drum and pianos, and much more.

First, Aman traveled to Congo square of the year 1920. There he learned about Spirituals and about Code Noir.  This was a huge part of slavery as music helped Africans cope with the conditions and injustice they were provided and also gave them hope. Aman took pieces of jazz music and implemented them into his piece.

Secondly, Aman traveled to Mexico City the year of 1934. There Aman increased his knowledge of Mariachi. He learned about waltz as well, a song that is mainly felt in 3. This impacted his knowledge of music, and he implemented these styles in his music as well.

Lastly, Aman traveled to Los Angeles in the year 2000. There he learned about glissandos and traditional music. In his film music piece Aman used glissando’s to display what he learned and make the music as unique as he could to stop the aliens from destroying the earth.

Aman informed Mr. Stapp about the Alien’s plotting.  He exceeded Mr. Stapp’s expectations and it was set that after Mr. Stapp’s retirement it would be Aman to step up to the plate. Mr. Stapp decided from then on that when and if he retires Aman could be the next hero in disguise as well as lead their time travel music class as a day job. It was set, the Aliens would attack in a few days, and Aman was ready to play this music to change their minds. There were a variety of instruments, and the best part, the music made no sense. Music is one of the only things that sound good without making sense. This unique sense of style would deter the Aliens from destroying a planet full of lush potential of music. Aman’s encouragement of this piece was to make it sound as unique as some other music he experienced. Aman at this time was in eighth grade and was upset he would have to leave the school, which housed one of the best music teachers ever. However, Aman knew he would see him again, as music bounded them by a common interest. Before he left, he wanted to prove himself to Mr.. Stapp wanted to show him, that he paid attention to what Mr. Stapp taught him as his disciple.  The time came when the Aliens attacked. Aman blasted this music from every speaker and radio in the world. However, Aman’s intention was potentially to change the Alien’s mind with peace through music. This is exactly how it played out. Due to the amazing inspirations and the beauty of music, the Aliens fell in love and wanted to save this planet to continue their knowledge of music. The Aliens retreated and everyone cheered for Aman. This led Mr. Stapp to be sure about his decision and decided Aman would receive leadership to the music class and when he (Mr. Stapp) retires, also become the music Hero.

I had started with medieval music with the beginning of my song. I used this song style as the beginning because the plainchant and the monophonic give a very dramatic feeling. I then used the Indian style raga because I felt like that would sound good right after medieval music, as well as the tabla. Then I used cumbia because I liked the call and answer. I then used film music after the cumbia because it was also quite dramatic. I liked how the erhu was very dominant in the film music in comparison to the cello. I liked how I had designed it and how many instruments were featured. This song would kill all the space demons in the entire universe.

As a space music navigator, I studied several styles of music.  I looked through space and time to find the perfect combination of sounds. My time travels were always interesting and filled with knowledge. However, there came a time when everything fell into pieces. The space demons had destroyed the Orb of Glon. When I came to know this I was shocked and in order to help destroy these demons I knew I had to work extra hard to create my final piece.

My first stop was at Danbury, Connecticut around 1906. There I heard how Charles Ives created a new style of music which was Experimental music. When I heard the Unanswered Question by Charles, I noticed how it was atonal and aleatoric. I could hear how the woodwinds, the brass and the strings were all out of sync but they still managed to create an interesting type of melody. I realized that I could use these instruments that were a part of this style to create my final piece of music.

My next stop was in Los Angeles around 2000. We arrived at Tan Dun’s music home studio where we got to listen to the different types of film music he makes. We got to learn about the chinese traditional music which includes the erhu. When we were listening to "Farewell" from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by Tan Dun I noticed how the western instrument which was the cello and the erhu blended in together and created a beautiful melody. I also noticed how he used glissando in his notes in order to make the music which I found very inspiring. When we finished listening to the song I was really amazed by the rhythm of the music and the melody that I knew I needed to use in my own creation.

My third stop was at Bogota, Columbia around 1991 where I heard the cumbia style of music for the first time. When we first arrived we were standing at the recording session of Toto. When I heard her sing El Pescador, it was a very inspiring piece of music for me. I could hear the tambor being played while being in perfect harmony with the cantadora. That's how I realized that I wanted to include the tambor in my music.

My fourth stop was at Guca, Serbia (Balkans). When we arrived it was sometime around 2011 in a Serbian town. There were hundreds of thousands of fans waiting for the two bands to battle it out to see who would win the golden trumpet. When they started playing their instrumental music, I could hear the helicon and the trumpet and all the other instruments blend in together to create the perfect piece of melody. I realized that I had to have that in my music in order to get the rhythm I want.

My last stop was in Mexico City around 1934. There I heard Linda Ronstadt and Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan performing La Charreada. The style of music in which they were playing was mariachi. I noticed how they were only playing string instruments such as the guitarron and the vihuela. The music itself was so unique and beautiful that I had to put it in my piece in order to fully complete it.

In my music I demonstrated all of these styles and put them together in an abstract and unique way. I added my own original pieces of music for each style and a few beats and loops to create a mix up of different sounds to catch the aliens off guard. I even added different sound effects to capture the alien’s attention and make them focus on my music. When the space demons hear and react to my unique piece of music, they will be so amazed that the light that shined from my music will blow them away. I can ensure you that they will stand no chance against us and will all be defeated because of my great art of music.

Throughout my amazing space adventure, I learned a lot of new music like the Mariachi, Cumbia, Balkan, and Medieval music. These types of music gave me the potential to finally defeat the evil space demons who harassed our world and stole music from us.

My first stop was the Balkan music. This music was adequately fun to listen to. The helicon is a bright part to this instrumental music. It feels like the music gets faster with the compound time. The Romani are good at making music because they bring it together with their nice and cheerful sounds so I had to include this in my music.

My next stop is Mariachi music. Overall, this song was harmony. This song brought together my music really well because of the diverse and traditional sounds. It is a very dominant type of music which is why I included it to overwhelm the space demons.

Another stop is the Cumbia music. Cumbia music is another very interesting style of music that brings out a lot of culture. The Tambor and Cantadora are amazing pieces of Cumbia music. This music will mess with the demons' brains and is another step closer to defeating them.

The final stop is medieval music. This old time music is the final key to defeating the evil space demons. The sound is so classy yet so powerful, the song is based on a religion that calls God. This was the final step.

All of these together represent my powerful music which would manipulate the demons hearts into exploding.

The amount of times we’ve time traveled were immaculate, and it takes a lot of focus to even learn how to space navigate. There was a conflict in between rides, as evil music space aliens were trying intensely to make our ears bleed. There was hope in killing these monsters, but there were stops in between…

Our first stop was the Taj Mahal. The era was 1600s, during the Moghul rule. We traveled across the nation, beautiful instruments like the sitar, and the tambura. The raga was very in sync, and we heard the exceeding skills with these talented musicians. We then secretly went inside the Taj Mahal, like spies stealing the jewelry, and then stole the secret map to our next stop.

We then traveled to our next stop, which was Colombia, 1991. It was very clear because we heard the tambors, and the cantadoras. The voices of the cantadora’s were really good, and had a nice style, Cumbia, too. We walked to our next map to see where we were going, but after searching for 10 minutes, no one found it. Until a gate opened, leading to space, and our teacher, Mr. Stapp was yelling, “Run! Run children!!” It was the space aliens… It was happening all too fast, and some students were so in shock they even fainted. Even I was just standing there, hands shaking, legs stiff. Mr. Stapp used his super music voice, sang his lungs out, and went past his capacity. His voice was impacting the aliens, but they screeched, even breaking down Mr. Stapp’s exploits, but then the aliens leave. The aliens somehow dropped one of the maps, and we picked it up, just to find out our next and final location.

The last and final stop was New Orleans, 1920, specifically at Congo Square. We knew exactly where because of the creoles. Most of the class even heard spirituals. We were looking for clues to see whether this was the final upbeat to our missions, and at last, it was. The peacefulness here was just too perfect. The nice music playing, the syncopation playing, everything about this was peaceful. Too peaceful… At last, we found our key piece, we headed home, to make our finalizations.

Everyone was told to make a piece to kill the music space aliens.

In my music, I demonstrated how the sounds of each music piece would sound, abstractly, and confusedly. The aliens have intense hearing, according to Mr. Stapp’s studies, and if we combine it all, it’ll sound weird and crazy to us, but overall, it will be beautiful to them, and show them our ways of music. It will make them back off. There are beats to add with the musicians in play. Also, cat noises hurt the minds of space aliens, so we added that as well, so then they have a 0% likelihood to come back and mess with Earth ever again. Our home is now safe, thanks to the school, HPCMS. 😎

Before I introduce my music, allow me to officially introduce you to the Ancient Orb Of Glon. He is the savior of the human race. He warned us about the incoming battle between the humans and the space aliens. The only way we could win against them is by learning different types of music over the history of the human race.

For this sound painting I focused on 3 types of music that we learned over the course of these months. I used Indian style raga, Balkan music, and finally Jazz. I used these because they were my favorite genres of music.

For the Indian Style Raga I modified the mp3 to isolate the melody and I used that for my song. I used it because I really liked the sound of the Sitar and I felt like there was no other string instrument that could replicate that type of impact the sitar makes.

For the balkan music I isolated the helicon and drum set from it because I felt like I wanted to ensure that there was a foundation for this sound painting and usually brass or percussion fill that niche.

Finally I used jazz because I wanted to add syncopation to the music and because I wanted to add a new melody to start the song. The melody includes the trumpet and I wanted to include it because I felt like I needed a brass melody for this project.

Throughout my adventures across the wide universe as a space music navigator, I learned numerous styles of music looking for the best combination of sounds to fight off the evil space demons. When I heard that the Orb of Glon was killed in an ambush, I realized I had to double my efforts.

My first stop was at Germany 1000 CE during the Middle ages. When we first arrived there, I heard beautiful, spiritual music coming from a distance. There I was first introduced to the style of music which was Plainchant. When I heard the song Wisdom by Hildegard Von Bingen, I noticed how the song was in phrygian mode. I liked how the drone supported the melody of the music. I was really impressed by the melissa of the music so I decided to include it in my final piece.

My next stop was in Los Angeles around 2000. The style of music I heard was Film music and the Chinese Traditional with Western Music Mix. When I was listening to Farewell from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by Tan Dun, I heard the erhu and the western instrument which was the cello blend in together to create the perfect melody. I heard the glissando used in the different notes of  the music and was really amazed by it. I realized that I had to have this style included in my own music.

My third stop was at Guca, Serbia (Balkans) around 2011. When we arrived there, we were in a Serbian town where hundreds of thousands of people were gathering to watch two bands battle to see who would win the golden trumpet. I could hear the helicon and trumpet blend in together in their instrumental music. Compound time was impacting the way this music sounded because it makes it more uplifting and makes you want to get up and dance. I really liked listening to this music which is why I decided to include it in my final piece as well.

My last stop was in Mexico City around 1934. When we arrived there, I heard Linda Ronstadt and Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan performing La Charreada. I noticed that the style of music they were performing was Mariachi. The guitarron and Vihuela were the two string instruments that I heard being played in the music. The upbeat sound in which they performed the waltz was very impressive and outstanding. It was such a beautiful piece of music which I had never heard before. Soon I realized I needed that piece of music in order to complete my final piece.

In my music I demonstrated all these different sounds and styles of music and put them together in an abstract and beautiful way. For my music, I added my own original pieces of music from different styles that I heard over the course of my journeys. I also included different loops and sound effects and a few of my own original beats that I created and put them together to create my perfect melody. When the space demons hear my music which expresses the feeling of us humans, they will feel so emotional that they will perish away. My music will contribute to the victory of us mankind against the space demons. I can affirm to you that my music has the capacity to do so as we will be the victors against the battle with the space demons.

For example, I used flat.io and created my own music which is a podcast. The music was actually kind of fun and it was vocational. Also inherently the song title was Vermont, 808 Tape Right, Atlantis Dreamy Piano and Anthem Piano Chords 4 it was capacity.

Through my rough space adventures as a learning minon i studied several styles of music, looking for the perfect combination of sounds to sooth my ears while in battle.When I heard that the Orb of Glon was killed in an ambush, I doubled my efforts.My first stop was the New Orleans. I remember it very well. We all arrived sometime in the 1920s during “Code Noir” in the Louisiana Territory. In order to get access we had to hire some famous people to play Traditional Jazz Music. I really like this type of music because it does get catchy with their harmonies. This type of music is a song that would be brought up in spiritual songs especially in a creloe.I then went to Columbia during the release of La Candela Viva. I remember it surprisingly very well. We all arrived in the 1990s during  the release of La Candela Viva.  In order to get access we had to hire some famous people to play Cumbia. I really appreciated the sound of the baritone playing in 6/8 time. The fandango is probably one of the more difficult styles of music for baritone.  In my music I demonstrate all of these sounds and how they come together in a beneficial way. I will hear a beautiful tune will i blow and slice them into equivalent bits and pieces. They will have no chance against me and my tunes!!

Jazz music is really catchy and interesting. Furthermore I really liked it and I can tell that this music was a part of cereole peoples culture and identity. So when code noir was passed I think they took advantage of it.

In my travels across the wide openness of time and space, I learned many different styles of music. I looked for the best way to design a musical melody that can adequately destroy the evil space demons. The death of the ancient Orb of Glon made me thirsty for revenge, for I needed to redeem it and destroy it’s killers.

In my travels, I went to many different places and time periods on Earth. I first went to Medieval Germany where I learned of plainchant which is a choir singing without any music, thus making the music monophonic and very serious. I then went to the beautiful Taj Mahal in the 1600s where I learned about the better version of the guitar, the sitar which sounds very good and accompanied by the tambura, made me want to party. I then proceeded to Danbury, Continentuct in 1906 where I encountered a very weird style of music that was aleatoric and combined many different instrument types like brass and woodwinds. From there, I went to Los Angeles in 2000, where I learned film music that included western instruments as well as traditional Chinese instruments like the erhu. These two combined, made a great soundtrack for a movie. I then went to Guca, Serbia in 2011 where I partied to instrumental music that used a helicon and other brass instruments. The next place I went to was Mexico City in 1934, where I learned about mariachi music and a type of mariachi called, ranchera that was developed during the Mexican Revolution. From there, I went to the Ituri rainforest in 500 BCE where I encountered a very distinct type of music called polyphonic that was cermeoninal music for the local people. Then I finally came to Congo Square, New Orleans in 19320 where I learned of traditional jazz music and how it was created by Creoles who were allowed to make their own music as a result of the Code Noir made by their French rulers.

I created a story with all these music styles in audio. I also added a random clip of me singing “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” and the introduction to Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” in order to spice things and try to make things a bit funny as space demons don’t have a sense of humor and will self destruct if they hear it, because they don’t understand the beauty of memes and funny things in general. That’s how big of impact this melody will have. I also added a few fireworks in there just to ensure the space demons will inherently never come back again, because its too much greatness for their nonexistent brains to handle. That’s how I get revenge for the death of the ancient Orb of Glon.

Through my “HEROIC” space and time mission as a space music navigator I studied different styles of music, looking for the perfect combination to save time itself from the evil space demons. When I heard that the Orb of Glon was killed in an ambush, I doubled my efforts and promised myself I would avenge the great Orb of Glon.

My first stop was Medieval Germany. I remember it like it was yesterday. We arrived sometime in Germany 1000 CE. In order to get access we had to sneak in the side entrance. They played great Plainchant and there was a melisma singer and in my song I used Drone  which is a  bass note the holds under the melody and does not change. I also took an armor set from them so this is one way I can thank them for the armor set I took by adding so I put their music in my song to save time itself.

The next stop went to the Taj Mahal. I heard an Indian music band and it was fantastic. I was socked. I had to use their music in my song to save time itself.  It’s called raga and the sitar a plucking of strings in my music. The plucking of the tambura was also something special. I love how it sounds with the sitar.

My third stop was the Balkans.  I didn’t even know where I was until I looked at a map and then I listened to some funky brass music.  This music evolved from a rebellion against the Ottoman Empire and I knew because of their fighting spirit, the music, especially instrumental music, had what it takes to save time itself.

The last  stop was New Orleans where I heard the upbeat and fantastic  combination of sounds from Haiti, Ragtime music, French Music, and Spirituals.  This was a Creole mix that definitely exceeded my expectations. Listening to how they created a new style of music was fascinating and unexpected. Their syncopations were out of this world. This was the final piece of the puzzle to take down evil space demons and save time itself.

In my music I demonstrate all of these sounds and how they come together to save time itself in a considerably abstract way. The space demons will hear the beautiful expressions of humans and they will be sufficiently blown to bits and the I know the Orb of Glon would have been proud. I added a piano beat and some birds to mix it up and some sound effects that would catch them off guard to completely manipulate and explode their alien minds. They’ll have no idea what hit them! I was glad to have avenge the Orb of Glon and fulfil the Orbs duty to save time itself  #RIPOrb/of/Glon???-2021

Our goal is to destroy the aliens with our fire music. We strive to demonstrate that humanity is the most dangerous “animal” to kill. We show that we are on top of the food chain and the only thing that can kill us are humans and humans only (there may be some exceptions). Using my deadly song, the aliens will be killed sufficiently. I added some aspects of the vocal singing from the African Pygmy music. I added a little twist by trying to replicate a part of the singing or humming. There are sections where it plays in ostinato. Matter of fact, this music is so painful to hear, you can't even consider it ceremonial music.

Listening to African Pygmy Music is extremely fun, but if you add something with it, it’ll be wayyyyyy better. Trust me. That said, I added some New Orleans traditional jazz music. This music was created back when Code Noir was in effect/place. Not only that, but a lot of people spoke certain creoles.

Lastly, I planned (emphasis on planned) on adding some mariachi music, but as of typing this up all of my music got deleted for some reason. I will try to restore it. But as I was saying, I was going to add some mariachi music. I was going to add the guitarron to my music.

The aliens may be behind this mysterious incident. But I shall retaliate soon but this time, their life will be on the line. They better start counting their days as anyone who interferes with my work will face the consequences Caden Asian Style. Once I defeat them, we will show them that we are the TRUE DOMINANT SPECIES.
