Yes! As someone who taught conservatory counterpoint, harmony and composition and who studied orchestral performance with Bernstein and Celibidache I thought "what!? How could you claim 'not knowing' is a good thing?" But you know what? So much of what we have been teaching in "music theory" has no value. We're so caught up in learning what the names of things are that we rarely get around to understanding why music works the way does, and more importantly, how to create compelling musical experiences. By ignoring that and focusing on what you hear, what you imagine, and what you want, you get to the heart of the matter. Now, of course there might be some babies in that bath water we're throwing out! Understanding how harmonic, linear and rhythmic energy works to create musical motion is absolutely crucial to making music that goes beyond merely "sounding like" (orchestral) music. You may get that understanding from playing and singing and listening to music, or you may get it from a more explicit study of some kind. Either way, if you have that understanding, and can combine it with the astoundingly expressive tools and techniques Spitfire and others provide, you absolutely can create musical magic. It would be great to see you show a bit more how consonance, dissonance, modulation, line, rhythm, meter and orchestration, variation, contrast, are able to build and release musical energy. That's something that is not part of any musical technology (digital or analog), but is essential to all music, regardless of style or genre. So, it makes a huge difference! Thanks so much for taking the time to share you knowledge and experience!

The value of the theoretical infrastructure you develop as a composer in music school isn't merely in labeling chords or melodic/architectonic construction, it's in developing the intellectual technology to facilitate your ear and creativity to hear and create a wider variety of sounds than you otherwise would. ...Enlarging your canvas, basically. It's easy to get "defaulted" into writing everything in C, E, A, D, and G if you're not facile with the full chromatic palette, and I think one of the best ways to familiarize yourself with that palette is by study and comprehension of what the best artists before you have done. Music theory worked for Mozart, Rahcmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, JW... but it's not good enough for us now?

@@silverXnoise Yeah. I'm a Impressionist composer, who learnt traditional and contemporaneous harmony, along with obviously music theory and learning piano too. The theory doesn't limitate you, it brings to you the way to comprehend how music works, and gives you better elements to work with. The people who say that kind of things is because they don't have creativity neither inspiration to innovate in some aspect.

both have pros and cons. if you were taught, you might be stuck with "making music that is too complex for the average audience" if you taught yourself, you might be stuck with "making music that follows the same patterns over and over again" nothing is perfect, I can only tell you, that teaching myself helped me more than any music theory that I got, except for chords. I easily get trapped in theory.

"Brassy" (or Cuivré, with its French version) is actually an orchestration term mostly used in French Horn parts to designate the more aggressive timbre obtained through strong breath rather than a more mellow woodwind-ish soft brass sound. Probably the fff samples (activated when this controller he uses is all the way up) contain recordings of instruments played "Brassy-Cuivré" and he was talking about that.

22:13 The white-covered orchestration book which remained unmentioned is the "Orchestration" by Walter Piston. I agree that Adler's book accompanied by audio-visual material is the bible of orchestration but since Piston's book appeared on screen, I thought it has to be mentioned. I also recommend "Instrumentation/Orchestration" by Alfred Blatter which is more focused on full capacity of individual instruments rather than orchestral sections and conventional orchestral applications.

Just stumbled on this after entering the Westwood scoring competition, and am absolutely loving it ... wish I'd found it sooner. Will be watching more of your videos (and no doubt investing in your libraries) - inspirational stuff, especially for self-taught musicians who find orchestration a bit overwhelming!

Thanks for "showing your work," as maths teachers would say: I really appreciate seeing how the process can work, particularly using ensemble patches. While I'm not aiming at scoring for actual humans to perform, I do appreciate the need to have empathy / imagination for the performers (like not writing a drumkit part requiring five limbs!).

Sounds like something straight out of the Starbound soundtrack, very nice. my only regret is that I don't have $500 to blow on sound library lol. In fact all the VSTs I dooo own came complimentary with my native-instruments midi keyboard controller so I actually have all the prerequisite software to run this. just not the prerequisite wallet XD

Every time Christian Henson says he is self taught, that never went to a music school and begins to play the piano I experience opposite feelings. The way he positions his hands on the keyboard says otherwise.

Actually, the. Sam Adler orchestration book is really great. I own seven different orchestration books, and it probably has the most useful advice of any of them. I want to know what the second book in the video was. He never said.

Christian- I just wanted to really really thank you for making this video. For me it is absolutely priceless and you have inspired and encouraged me to dig deep and dedicate more time to doing what I love so much....music. I was able to follow your template and compose a piece that when I listen back to I am like....wait a second....I wrote that? so thank you, thank you , thank you . I will be watching as many of your videos as time allows. Brilliant!

Can anyone tell me more about the "expression box" ? What is it and who makes em? How does it link to the DAW? Through Kontakt or is it added onto each midi track as a seperate 'effect' / plugin ?? Thanks in anticipation :)

You can use any controller that has sliders or knobs on it to accomplish the same thing. In later videos, Christian talks about a multitude of problems he's been having with the creative console and how he’s thinking of switching. If you have a mod wheel on a keyboard, you can map it to do the same thing. Otherwise if your keyboard doesn't already have a controller, you can always get something like a Kong Nano fader for about $30.
