ABSTRACT
The communication of music and sound is most often dependent upon some sort of structure or form that makes up its musical foundation. Even in the most abstract genres there exists a unifying principle or nucleus of organization. Composer John Cage himself outlined a specific structure for his piece 4’33”—Four Minutes, Thirtythree Seconds, which is perceived by the listener as silence. If we can agree that all music has some sort of musical foundation and structure, then we can agree that mainstream popular music is no exception. Most genres adhere to a specific song form. Such terms as intro, verse, chorus, hook, bridge, vamp, and break are household names. You could even go so far as to say that we have all even heard of sectional structures such as AABA, ABA, verse–chorus, or 12-bar blues. The point is that for centuries, musical foundation and structure have not only guided the composer, songwriter, producer, or performer, but have also served as musical vehicles for the listener. With this philosophy in mind, Live provides a clever method to creatively build musical ideas into foundations and structures in order to facilitate the organization of your music.
