Electronic Music Production at Shoreline Community College
This is not an official page; it is a personal collection of some student's material, presented with their permission, from the 2nd yr Electronic Music Production Class. In this class, students use electronic music production and synthesis software to write music for a variety of projects, from Ringtones to "Cage-like" tracks for short videos or animations and music for video games.

sounds associated with it then create a set unique sampled instruments
