After reading Ratliff's first chapter, 'Repetition', I can see how we tend to be attracted to patterns such as repetition and how it's evident in our everyday lives. Repetitive rituals such as brushing ones teeth, having a cup of coffee, or listening to music cause the same type of satisfaction when one hears that steady, head-bobbing, bass kick. The predictability of these patterns makes it appeal to us, it is comfortable and controlled. In Post Malone's newest single titled "rockstar", producer Tank God uses a variety of bass kicks, snares, and hi-hats to lay down a catchy 8 second foundation beat, that basically repeats for the whole song. This song is a good example of how repetition helps a song flow. ]]> 2017-10-09 01:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/w_rapp/xazxaoy3zish/wish/195067842 w_rapp https://padlet.com/w_rapp/xazxaoy3zish/wish/195069888 "Rari, Rari, Rari, Rari"

A good example of repetition. From the beat, to the chorus, this song is an appealing mix of repetition.]]> 2017-10-09 01:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/w_rapp/xazxaoy3zish/wish/195070277 w_rapp https://padlet.com/w_rapp/xazxaoy3zish/wish/195070618 The interview with producer Tank God that inspired me to write about his part on the song "rockstar". He highlights how repetition helps him produce beats.]]> 2017-10-09 01:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/w_rapp/xazxaoy3zish/wish/195070618 w_rapp https://padlet.com/w_rapp/xazxaoy3zish/wish/195070796 "[Repetition] is an exclamation, centering your attention"
