Honestly I had no clue where to start on the project so I opened up a random synth (PoiZone) and started playing with the presets and I found a really cool sound that I liked. I started by just entering a long, four bar C note which was alright but then I used the chop tool and things got more interesting. I went into the preset chop patterns and I tried a few and the one that sounded the coolest was "Trance (slide)". After I was satisfied with the pattern I copied it into a total of 5 patterns and used the transpose tool to change the notes. The pattern for the 'A' section is C for 4 bars, A for 4 bars, G for 4 bars, E for 2 bars, and F for 2 bars. I then replicated this in the bass track which was created using the SimSynth plug in on the "BassDeepSaw" preset which I liked because it was thick, clean, and airy. I then mapped out a complementing pattern and did the same transposing technique that I did to the synth. The drums are pretty basic because I didn't want the track to be too busy since the synth has a lot going on. For the bridge I just made my own pattern and transposed it from a C to B. This pattern repeats as the drums enter with kind of a "build up" feel although it's not as long or as powerful as an actual build would normally be.Also for the bridge I added spaces in between the synth and filled it with bass for a cool effect. It then repeats the first pattern and ends with just the 'C' note chop pattern and I take out the drums for the very last moments of the piece to signal an end.
Your project is great and I like that you added a bridge. Your post was also very descriptive and I was able to get an idea of what your project would be like before listening to it.
