What Do you do to not blink?

Amazing video. I want 5 hour version focusing on every part of the score 😀❤️

@Pooter-it4yg Ай бұрын

No mystery to it. The problem is that people fixate on the chord rather than the progression - like obsessing over the design of one engine component and ignoring its interaction with the rest. The chord itself is an altered "sixth" predominant that leads via sequential suspensions to a dominant that deliberately doesn't resolve. The gesture is then repeated twice through different potential regions of the home key (A minor) but never finds home. Thus longing and searching without success.

Really amazing mock-up! I was wondering what you meant by a "Dense" reverb?

@stratisoundinc 4 ай бұрын

It's really an excellent question. I think the idea is I listen to the reverb at 100 percent wet and try to describe its characteristics with an adjective. Usually, one looks for a "sparkly" or "shiny" reverb like finishing salt on a salad but finding a dense, utility verb that sort of glues the sounds together has an important place in mockup work.

I just discovered your courses and they seem very interesting, especially this one and the Smart Orchestrator. What really keeps me from having a go is the total lack of infos about the courses' real content. It would be great to have a table of contents for each course, so one could avoid to buy it sight unseen.

You make a fair point! We will add these to the website, but we had them prepared already. Chapter 01 - Introduction Michael Barry and Anthony Parnther introduce the course and explore some of the concepts and challenges related to advanced harmony. Chapter 02 - Harmony Defined The limits of harmony are theoretically infinite, therefore it is critical to address it in a calculable and definable manner. Chapter 03 - The Single Dissonance This chapter focuses on how to harness and control the mighty minor second interval and includes examples from some of the greatest composers. Chapter 04 - Finger Following Critical to any study of harmony comes from managing of the inner voices, and the exploration of nearby chromatic tones. Chapter 05 - The Displaced Root The combination of a familiar triad over a foreign root choice is a technique favored by some of the greatest composers of this and the last century. Chapter 06 - The Mechanism of Composition While composing your brain is tasked with two different challenges, which must be practiced and overcome. The second part of this chapter explores Cousin and Doppelgänger Chords. Chapter 07 - Interjections Changing things upon a second listen is an important technique to become comfortable with. This chapter explores how to keep an open eye while reviewing your work. Chapter 08 - Important Shapes and Specific Cases Having an understanding of jazz harmony has been a proven road to success. The last part of the chapter goes through some of the most popular exotic harmonies of film music. Bonus Clip 1: The Change One Note Method This technique was a favorite of Prokofiev and can prove useful to any composer who has become stuck. Bonus Clip 2: The Up A Fourth Technique One of the softest modulations is going up a fourth. John Williams frequently uses this technique to engage in harmonic movement.

It's funny because, what you described with regard to how you come up with a new template is exactly what I do. I eventually end up saving Templates with the date and subject header that best fits the template purpose. So for example I may do something like 11/23 _Fantasy Orch. or 12/23_Hybrid Orch. ... Your tip about recording MIDI a bit ahead of the click is also really spot on! Also I never thought to automate the reverb sends, that blew my mind. Love this episode. I can't say I love it more than your previous uploads without the fear that it may result in no more of the other types of videos .. I appreciate those too. Maybe we can get a little bit of both. Also, you mentioned going to USC, I'm a student at Berklee currently and would love to get my masters at USC, I'd love to ask your some questions about your experience while there.

Wrong! The chord in the opening is not the same as the chord at the end.

@Paolo8772 2 ай бұрын

It's the same chord but a different context, and unless it resolves to F# Major it requires an accidental. So while you're incorrect about Why you think this is "wrong" this analysis is flawed.

Where was the score found?

@nandoflorestan 10 ай бұрын

At the "solo" question I had no doubt that the passage was composed for a single cello, because 1. of its very high range and likely intonation problems when played by the ensemble and 2. because the character of that phrase agrees and would sound perfectly fine with the intimate sound of a single cello. I suppose it was played by the ensemble because 1. they were able to and 2. they managed to keep it intimate and expressive even in the ensemble. I have also noticed that when great orchestrators such as Albert Roussel use string soli as a colour, they try to remember the violas too, rather than just a violin solo and a cello solo. So maybe it is also a matter of, "if I commit to this language -- using string solos as a color -- it would be nice to do it at least three times".

I love that you almost always choose to comment on relatively obscure (but still insightful) details. I've listened a lot of JW soundtracks and read many of his scores so it is rather difficult to find things I didn't know/think of, but you always manage to find several ones!
