Emily M's Composition
* I chose the loops in the video because they reminded me of New York City
* I made the tempo a little fast because it explains how fast people and cars move in NYC.
* I chose pictures of New York City because they matched the piece
* I got the pictures off of google (:
* I think I would have made it a bit better by adding more loops, and changing the vocals.

Clean: I chose the loops I chose in the chill piece because they made the previous one(s). The strings worked with the flutes The organ, sax, and orchestra worked with the strings and flutes.I chose the pictures because they looked good and they fit with the music at the time. I got them at Google. If I could do anything to make this better I would ad more loops and more pictures.
Polluted:The loops I chose the drums, horns and guitars because the fit together. The electric percussion for a base beat. I chose the pictures because the piece sounded and fit with water so i made the pictures polluted water. I got the pictures from Google. If i could do anything to make it better I would add more pictures.

Polluted Nature Song
For my exciting polluted composition I started with a fast bass line, which leads you into the feel of the song. Next I had the drums build up. I had a distorted techno lop and a distorted guitar loop playing. I also had extremely abrasive beats playing. This really gives you a grunge feel. Then at one point the techno and abrasive loops stop and another heavy guitar loop comes in. Then the bass ends the song. I chose a fast tempo because an faster song is usually more exciting to me. I chose really polluted pictures. I chose pictures that if people were in that place they'd want to leave. This fulfills the mood of the polluted song. I got the pictures of of Google Images. Next time I want to try to put in special effects to my song.
Serene Nature Song
For my calm nature song I got a relaxing bass line to start it off. Next bongos come in for calm drumbeat. I also got some special effects. Next I put in a piano loop, that then leads back into the rest of the loops. I picked a slow tempo because it makes a more calm mood. I picked pictures of places that are really relaxing. Places where you would be able to sit, listen to the music, and still feel calm. I got the pictures from Google Images. Next time i want to put in guitar loops into any clam song. I couldn't find any that fit.

Graffiti: i wanted to make something that i like. rap or hip hop beat was the first thing i needed. i found an urban beat and added several different turntable tracks to give it the spice. then beat boxing vocals to male it more hip hop.

Clean
For my clean project I started with a country theme because i like country music. I used a guitar loop for the opening part working in drums, fills, and other loops.
Pollution
First i found a cool guitar loop that i thought was cool and i could use. Then I used a drum loop and other loops that i thought went together.I chose a smoke theme because most of the photos showed truthful images of air pollution.

Pristine Nature
My first step in writing this piece was finding a melody. Once I had the melody I found a drum line that was not too overpowering. The came the bass. Once I had the main stuff I just added little accents and found a good tempo. The first picture i picked was a boardwalk on the ocean. I immediately knew i wanted it to have an ocean theme. So the rest of my pictures had something Oceany about it. To make it better, I could include actual sounds from a beach.
Polluted Nature
The first thing I did with this piece, was finding a loop that was tools or something that sounded like a factory. Then I found a good bass and drum line. The I added accents and leveled the volume. The pictures are all sorts of pollution. To make it better,I could add more pollution sounds, like junkyard or a dump.

Pollution
My friends and i chose the loops by coming up with a specific song in which this is Mexican theme. We came up with the tempo to be a medium but kind of fast because it's a fast theme.we come up with the pictures by looking up pictures that were polluted and looked nasty to me. I got the pictures form Google images by looking up pollution in the search bar. What i might do next time to make it better is chose more loops to make it longer and better.
Nature
I chose the loop same as the polluted on my friends and i chose a Mexican theme and made the loops fell like your there.i chose the tempo by making it fast because Mexican music is fast or like medium.i chose the pictures becasue i wanted it to be pictures of Mexico so it would feel like your there.i got them from google images by typing in Mexico in the search box. i would add more and more loops to the song that i did.
