Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Dont plan it, dont wait for it, just let it happen. - Dale Cooper
Watch how I made this track from a sample of Twin Peaks in this video: https://youtu.be/8tPdW5L4DJo
Thank you to my Patreon subscribers for supporting my lessons and my music! Ive posted the track there- https://bit.ly/2zFwzOO
The challenge for this track was to keep things from getting boring. Its only two chords (I - vi) with only two instances of the IV chord. I had to rely on timbre, dynamics, and call+response style arrangements to keep the track interesting without losing its chill/relax vibe.
The only reason I can teach how to write music is because I write music, I need to keep writing so I can be a better teacher =]
Produced using Reason + Ableton. Samples from Twin Peaks Theme by Angelo Badalamenti, and from S01E06.
A HUGE thank you the following Patreon supporters!!!

After the WEIRD INTRO this video goes through the basics of polymeter, where you can hear it, and how you can write with it. Deeply complicated rhythmic layers can easily develop when you write polymetrically, and open up whole new universes of songwriting and composition.
Later, I will be making a video about the 3:4 polyrhythm. Polymeter and polyrhythm are closely related, and hopefully this video demonstrates the basics of polymeter for anyone to understand and start using!

I think I went a bit overboard with this but oh well, hope you enjoy :). I composed all this music using this technique, and used Reason for the orchestral stuff.

*I excluded the bII and the VII chord since they could theoretically be in the key of harmonic minor (as the 5 and 6 chord).
