have you ever studied music at all? ostinato is one of the most basic techniques ever used
>In music, an ostinato (derived from Italian: stubborn, compare English: 'obstinate') is a motif or phrase, that persistently repeats in the same musical voice, usually at the same pitch. The best-known ostinato-based piece may be Ravel's Boléro.[1]
>An ostinato is always a succession of equal sounds, where each note has the same weight or stress.[citation needed] The repeating idea may be a rhythmic pattern, part of a tune, or a complete melody in itself.[2] Both ostinatos and ostinati are accepted English plural forms, the latter reflecting the word's Italian etymology. Strictly speaking, ostinati should have exact repetition, but in common usage, the term covers repetition with variation and development, such as the alteration of an ostinato line to fit changing harmonies or keys.
>Electronic music, especially that of the dance variety, has relied on ostinato-like basslines, for example generated by the Roland TB-303 synthesizer (which was originally developed in 1982 by Roland as a "bass-player substitute" for guitarists, but gained more favor in later years as a bassline synthesizer in its own right). Since the 303 also has a pattern sequencer as well and can be controlled to play back at various speeds, it is very easy to create ostinato basslines with it, and genres of electronic dance music such as acid house and psy trance consist of such, created by the 303 and similar synthesizers.
