I'm 25 and in Australia and watching this GCSE video because its so damn informative.

[@juliacosentini8180]

Thanks for this!!! Beautiful video

[@javierlatuf9190]

Inspiring, informative, amazing video!

[@simonstrash]

How great to see all of these side by side! Gave me a good overview to start making some practice pieces.

[@traildoggy]

When I first encountered this stuff I assumed it had to be electronically generated, or at least synched. Later seeing it performed just blew my mind. I don't understand how it is physically possible to play these pieces in real time.

[@MrQuentini]

Extremely helpful, thank you

Thank you for making this video.

I'm very gratefull. Thanks a lot !

[@Sigmaairav]

The way you present the information is greatly helpful to me, As a musician and artist, I seek to improve upon myself, and the way I create my songs, this video gives me helpful perspective to structuring my music, something I currently lack as I tend to create songs through streams of consciousness translated into notes.

[@SuganthanHarmless]

The ostinato reminds me A LOT of "Can You Hear The Music" (from the recent movie Oppenheimer). Maybe Ludwig Göransson drew inspiration from your video? 😂 Anyways, thanks a lot for making the effort, your tips will be of great benefit to me! 🙂

@musicmsrevision Do these techniques refer to a certain piece (electric counterpoint) or are some of them "made up" by yourself?

[@ollies246]

It’s awesome that this content is available for everyone. Really awesome stuff! However, I find the delivery a bit uninspiring. There can be so much more to this video than the quantifiable information. These examples are so exciting, you need to put that across as well! Once you’ve ignited inspiration, students will find the information no matter what. This is my biggest criticism of standardised education

[@abraham3673]

... I'm new to music composition and music creation in general, and I use almost all of these techniques already before I even knew what these were called... I guess maybe I'm a naturally minimalistic musician? 😅

[@Nidomy]

Can we not say there is an even layering and a non even layering? So that the layering you exposed is of the former kind. Those techniques are pretty interesting, thanks for sharing.

[@Dayglodaydreams]

Were these examples pre-written, or were these techniques demonstrated from a spontaneously composed example?

[@YVZSTUDIOS]

very useful!! :^)

[@minachoi2012]

VERY useful!

[@jayfolk]

is this a specific music program or just prerecorded audio over seperate visuals?

[@Meowdalee]

+jay folk This is made in a DAW(Digital Audio Workstation), by the looks of it is made in Logic, but any DAW could accomplish the very same thing.

[@Pheonix8877]

It looks like it's pics taken from the program garage band from Mac

[@Bunters196]

+jay folk Yeah it's logic 9 by the looks of things.

[@nishishabima]

Does anyone know if I can use these techniques on Sibelius to compose music?

[@gwenrees7594]

haha Ellen Probably but it could be quite complicated

[@joeblackmore5443]

same lisp as me

[@igorjee]

I googled the meaning of 'to the point', and was redirected to this video.

[@samanthaluksas501]

I felt the lisp

[@darkhank942]

I disagree about phasing part. It's not just extending 1 note. It's having whole melody one bit faster/slower than original Totally different meaning

[@TokyoTitters]

3:30 = "which you COULD CREATE by extending one note a little bit". It does not say that is the only way

[@darkhank942]

@@TokyoTitters lol, that was a 4 year old comment. Even then, prolonging one note does not equal to phasing as the tempo of the melody is still the same, you just offset it. In reality you try phasing by adjusting the tempo from the original melody either faster or slower
