Shannie... the Musician..?

This week in my Fundamentals of Digital Media class, we learned about Mashups and how to use Soundation to compose some original music - for free. Now I love to listen to music, from classic rock to alternative to bluegrass, hip hop and everything in between. MAKING music is another story. I am not musically inclined, at all. In fact, my grandma is the music director at her church and would make me fill in on the handbells occasionally when her regulars were not available. I would practice for a few weeks. 1, 2, 3, 4... 1, 2, 3, 4, (only two notes, mind you) 1, 2, 3, 4. So the day would come, I would get in my position... look up... see all of the people staring back at me. Oh, f$#@!. Immediate head-shake. Tummy grumble. Trying to talk myself out of having explosive diarrhea... Aanndddd no music. You get the picture,that's my experience with making music. Eventually she stopped asking me to fill in, thankfully. So, when this assignment came up, my immediate feeling was dread. I have no clue. Luckily Soundation is pretty intuitive, and I was able to scrape something together, just click play down below and let me know what you think.
