about

So I don't have dice so I had to begin by finding a dice generator online. The meter I got was 6/4. I did my best with this, considering I am really bad at determining time signature.
First I slowed the track down. Mostly to make it easier to count, but then I really like the speed so I left it. I took random parts (though I started with the beginning, and counted out six beats, cut and pasted it to create a measure. In all I have about four parts and I arranged them in a pretty typical way: verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus, outro.
I then took the rest of the track and lowered the pitch to a rumble to have a low drone in the background.
I then found an image from the 1918 flu pandemic (the year this song was published) and databent it in Audacity. The resulting audio out put I used as a noise drone to add to the back ground.
I then found a video on youtube of a survivor of the pandemic talking about her experience and mixed key parts into the verse, chorus, verse format.
