I used different instruments to repeat the basic block, which is known as a happy new year song in China. In the last part, I added several small parts to make some changes. In the beginning and ending parts, I intentionally make the tempo slow.

Since I don't know anything about music, by which I mean absolutely nothing, I started first by playing with the software a bit. Then I found one piece a bit applealing in the Drummer section. I tried to figure out the P and D used and why they are used that way. Then I played with tunes which is sounding ok, and then played with the numbers to take the tone higher or lower accordingly, and this is what came out, and then I tried to put some back ground music.

Phase Shift - I used Impromptu and the basic idea was to produce a pulsing rhythm, that becomes more chaotic as more voices are added, by overlaying a simple scale on top of itself each having a slightly different frequency.
