These are fun exercises for melodic shaping. And relying on the melody to establish rhythmic interest. Besides, I just like how real the Synful engine makes this sound.

spring

BOING!

The clanging Police-like guitar is real. All else is as fake as a Hollywood… resident. Except for you. You’re totally real, baby.

melting horns

You’re not supposed to play these instruments this way. Nor are you supposed to play these notes. These are clearly the devil’s horns at play. Listen as the melody keeps melting down a half step, then bubbling back.

an oboe duet

Counterpoint with oboes. A duet betwixt ducks. Time signature misleads.

metal gallop

Improv’d a Primus dissonant scale the first time. Then went straight melodic the second. Things you’d never get away with in a real song.

a little break

from the guitar. A haunting flute duet. Yes, I’ll say it: a fluet.

70s riff

More geetar. Where’s that guy from Foreigner when you need him?

clickety-click

A little sus. A little clickety. Chick-a-chick-chick. Depending on how you mute the strings, you can get a lot of fun little sounds.
