[BehindTheScene - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8BAmGKLSiM) Now, how only to get out of loop-only mode, and figure out how to arrange something more holistically. Anybody got suggestions for tools or resources? Is that something feasible for Scaler to use for? Thanks! ---

I seem to be in a bit of a rut to, I’ll come up with something about a minute or two long and then struggle to move on to something more sustantial such as the track below. I suppose this is my lack of musicallity and inability to play any instrument. But I enjoy just trying to make music it’s a hobby of mine especially during these cold winter days. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?visual=false&url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1722873561&show_artwork=true&maxheight=166 ---

The thing that struck me here was that the piece is in the ‘Bernd’ style, so to speak, rather like the other Aleamanic YT compositions. I would classify this as being low in tonal variation, no prominent repetitive motif and no ‘drop’. [“It’s not trance”, I hear you say … no, but classical music features drops as well.] So is that a bad thing ? No, I actually like this genre, and elements can be found in stuff from Tangerine Dream to Paul van Dyke. I guess there are a few things you could do, but leaving the essential elements in place … maybe bring in other patches / add a filter / (or even a drop). I found the book by Dennis DeSantis useful (free at [Buy Live, Push, Max for Live and Ableton merchandise | Ableton](https://www.ableton.com/en/shop/)) to trigger thoughts for adding interest and variation. ---
