Abstract:

The paper aimed at developing a music compositional model, Asanka, for guitar-band highlife composition with BATTERY 4 VSTi whereby traditional sound elements in guitar-band highlife are retained.. In establishing the model, concept of African Guitarism, creative ethnomusicology theory and the model of creative thinking were reviewed. Guitar-band highlife music creation with asanka model through MIDI configuration will assist composers avoid overreliance of foreign sound libraries and rather, feature traditional musical elements in their computer-assisted highlife compositions. The use of the model recommends simulation of Ghanaian traditional sound patterns in BATTERY 4 VSTi from its natural setting for guitar-band music creations.

Keywords:Asanka BATTERY 4 VSTi Highlife Guitar-band Compositional model
