The 566 Featured Interview: Mikey Kessler, '25

What was the behind-the-scenes process for this featured music? How did you create it? 

I used Garageband to create the layers for this piece and did a lot of editing on the timing to make the song flow and smoothly as possible. I mainly used the digital MIDI keyboard to make most of the song and also used a drum kit for inspiration for the underlying beats. I used the  library sound called "small piano" for most of the melody layers, and then multiple other sounds that supported the "small piano" sound. 

How long have you been writing music and what instruments do you play?

I have played guitar for years, but only really started creating my own digital music shortly before I made this song.
