oxygen 25 · day 1

loop school

a quiet little school for making loops and songs in the spirit of fred again.. one small skill at a time. a voice, a few warm chords, a beat that moves. you, your keys, and twenty minutes a day.

start with level 1. tick things as you go.

listen like a producer

ten minutes a day, headphones on

for every track, ask three things:

  1. where does the voice come from, and how short is the phrase?
  2. what are the chords doing, and how many are there?
  3. what happens to the drums right before the big moment?
