Panayiota

Doxter S continues to develop original music in the style of electronic/house/dance. The latest originated without an identified theme, however the occasion of Panayiota celebrating 100-years was an additional inspiration. This style of music does not lend itself very well to lyrics. In fact the only lyric is the title Panayiota.

Panayiota is the latest of 76 original tunes created by Doxter S at Crimson Studios. The process started with creating iKaossilator loops customized to a particular genre (R&B). Key, scale, tempo, and instrument selections were made to elicit a desired melodic balance of phrase and rhythm. The result is a catchy tune that is mixed with gradual addition of instruments.

The next layer used royalty free Apple loops matched to the key and scale. These are primarily vocal loops that contain emotion without lyrics.

The final layer is adding the phrase “Panayiota” as the singular spoken lyric, The phrase is then combined as repeats or chopped and reconstructed to match the tempo and balance of the other loops.
