Ostinato

Musical term for a repeating pattern or riff.

That song is pretty shit, its just two chords with an ostinato bass part.. DOESN'T ANYONE UNDERSTAND HARMONY OR EVEN THE BASICS OF VARIATION ANYMORE!?!

4/4 String Ostinato in D Minor

A suspenseful and ominous song that every sailor knows means death and impending doom. Usually heard out at sea, avoiding this song should be your number 1 concern when sailing.

“Oh no, Spongebob, quick, Reel it in! Can”t you hear the music?! That’s a 4/4 String Ostinato in D Minor! Every sailor knows that means death!” - Eugene H. Krabs
