Don't really know what kind of sounds to add or how I should make the format of the song here. Suggestions for improvement are welcome as well. [media]http://soundcloud.com/michael-martin-metzler/voices[/media]
This is like a calm version of a typical Crystal Castles chorus. Add more percussive elements for a bit more energy, and then maybe use it for a chorus.
Usually when I don't know where to go with a loop, I make sure to [I]physically[/I] copy and paste the same loop after the original. That way you're looping, but you're not stuck with (for example) [I]8 bars[/I], but it doubles and becomes [I]16 bars[/I]. From there on it's a matter of taking stuff away in the original, and seeing how it interacts/relates to the other copy (or reverse). It works even better if you end one of the loops with a riser/lifter so it forces itself to go somewhere.
