when i began the soundscape i instantly knew i would be using my vocals , so i went to the audio suite to record random sounds. for me being random works better then going in with a master plan. it works better for me because i always end up with a unique piece rather then a piece that i may be subconsciously Imitating. however the repercussions of me doing that was prolonging the process of me actually putting the track together which was in fairness frustrating .
once i got the sounds i needed i uploaded all of them to Logic Pro 9 , i felt it was necessary for me to add a musical structure to my piece so i used the MIDI keyboard and created a 'beat' , which came in straight after the first vocal which was manipulated by using the pitch shift II and flex tool in rhythmic .
the beat i created was taken from drums and percussions section and selected the "Electronic Drum Kit" , play with the sounds on the midi keyboard and manipulated it using the flex tool.

personally i couldn't agree more with this statement. the best things stems from in my opinion experiments, random things ,at times when things are overly thought out and planned it takes away from actually really "creating".
