Great tips! Thanks so much. Another tip to avoid boredom in a composition: morph the timbre, volume or other characteristics of sustained notes or chords over time using MIDI controls or other methods. Maybe you have already made a video about how to do this, or you plan to do so in the future.

[@IanWaugh]

Yes, that's another good one 👍

Thanks for presenting this in a structured way - techniques which a lot of us use instinctively but it’s useful when itemised like this. I’m just starting out in ambient composition and production and I think my tracks “Drifting” and “Quinque” (over on my channel) utilise nearly all of them somewhere 😊. I think one of your chip tune tracks was in 7/4?

[@IanWaugh]

Hi Paul - Yes indeed, I think many musicians do these things instinctively. Thanks for checking it out 👍 Future Shock is partly in 7/4 😊
