steal this melody trick from Billie Eilish

[@Mega_idk]

I'm nowhere near being a composer, much less a decent one, but learning all the neat stuff from these videos makes me want to boot up Beepbox and try something for funsies. Banger vids, Syn.

@@Regw2520 on the other hand, Runaway by Galantis uses the technique in the video with a D-flat triad ostinato in the song's verses

This is one of the few 'advanced' techniques I grasped very early on completely by accident. It's SO fun to do.

Your videos make it seem like music is this fun artform that anyone could get into, so effortless how you do it.

[@MrM0gus]

when you really break it down. Making music is just making notes and drawing art is just making line

[@MisterPotatoHands]

It is!! At least, in terms of anyone being able to get into it (rather than the effortless part... that comes with a lot of practice!). But making music with software is so accessible now, and it can be so much fun and a really cathartic outlet. You don't have to be good at it to just enjoy the creative process. Ultimately, there's only one rule with music: does it sound good? If it does, then it's good (if only to your ears) 😅

[@4.0.4]

@@MisterPotatoHands yeah I noticed Ableton has some really cool music theory interactive lessons on their site and there doesn't seem to be any catch; I'm not sure if FL has something similar but it seems all generally applicable regardless. Good times to be a novice!

[@SquahBrackah_M_SquahBrackah]

[@fochti]

I love that your cuts and speech are matched to the beat of your videos, it's so satisfying to watch, even though I'm not a musician :D

[@girlhag]

this might be your most genius video yet!! I feel like this is a phenomenon that many producers and composers realize, but don’t fully understand. It’s the reason why sometimes even amateur musicians can make very catchy and complex songs, by using this principal. But you putting it into the terms of the melody acting as cord extensions.. genius!! thank you. this channel is gold

[@SyncronedStuff]

0:41 this is almost the exact chord that plays when seek's chase in Roblox Doors ends. Jus a little fun fact :)

[@SparkPSX]

Truuuee

[@nezzled]

2:05 nothing more fulfilling than seeing something i just did for a song be in a synthet video thank you for being my inspiration for literally everything

[@montageofchips]

This is already my favorite trick to do! There's something so satisfying about having all the underlying harmony change how you perceive harmony, while the melody barely or doesn't change

[@clubcyberia8572]

always love your tutoiral videos. they are short, and to the point. cant ever wait to see what tips you give next

[@BauskeMedia]

Yes! I love using this trick. Works for orchestral music as well

[@gerbearneronero]

I actually realized this trick when I used to create orchestral music, applying it to modern music was a bop.

[@aangtonio5570]

A lot of orchestral soundtracks use this. It's very cinematic, indeed.

[@pcenero]

The technical term is ostinato 👍

[@gerbearneronero]

@@pcenero I was looking for this term

[@Tatman2TheResQ]

Tips are always great. But the video editing really makes these easily watchable and enjoyable. Talented in many forms.

[@Roxfox]

Linkin Park were masters at this. Even when they did change the melody to fit each chord, it might end on the same note every time, creating (like you said) a desperate feeling that fits their themes so well. Doing the same thing over and over to try to get somewhere, but nothing actually changes. Powerful!

[@GBRen-xc2ow]

Man, pedal tones are underrated. It’s fun to hear the harmonic interaction between just one note (usually bass or high note) against a changing background of chords and stuff.

I'm so happy somebody which I genuinely trust with music theory covered this! I have been teaching myself a very basic DIY version of music theory for about half a year, and when I first found what I like to call "Contextual chords" I was surprised I hadn't heard anything related to changing backing to contextually shift melody in any sort of music tutorial I had seen before

[@thaDjMauz]

Reminds me of the video "a thing about chords!" by Louie Zong, demonstrating very well what sort of chords add what sort of identity to the same melody

[@lennonhorrocks3754]

I do this all the time on guitar. I play chord variants to keep the high notes the same throughout. Though, usually I will break this pattern for one chord of the progression to add a little bit more variance.

[@maclenix]

Thank u, syntet man

[@garrder]
