One of the best song writers of this generation for sure. I still listen to his song what they'll say about us and even after all this times it gives me chills.
The point about references is really on point, I think. It’s good to know the ballpark, but trying to imitate to a T is probably a bad idea. I’ve looked into the demo of ocean eyes on logic quite a bit and his mixing is really minimal but sooooo effective. I go into it for ideas still. I think he may have mixed into the master bus because so much of the volume and presence of the song comes from eq and upward compression on the individual tracks. Yeah, and ocean eyes is only like 30 tracks, maybe only 20 ish. 1 lead vocal, 12 vocal layers for the vocal pad, a vocal chorus stack with 5 vocals (three dubs and a harmony doubled), a synth pad, a piano, a bass, some airy synths, and then a kick and snare with some ear candy here and there,
Cracking the snare drum, Bilfin rocks my world ! Minor/ major chord leaguer with signature G minor riff solid gold composition. Inverse, precise, nice Indie music producer ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Might need to watch the music theory video to understand this, but: what’s the actual point of adjusting chords to the relative major when it’s not even present? Like, Bb major is not there neither as a chord nor as a key, why call Gm and Cm VI and II when labelling them I-IV is much easier… Anyways, thank you so much for this channel! Been watching everything for days, love it!!
Thank you for the kind words! When using numbers, I always use the relative major scale because it makes the most sense to me. For example, an F chord has virtually the exact same feel and sound regardless if the key is Am or C. Therefore, I like to call that F chord a 4 chord in both instances. Using this approach, every number always sounds the same and is no longer subject to whether the starting point is major or minor. I understand that I am somewhat on an island in this viewpoint, but it’s my personal preference that just makes more sense to me than the traditional way.
So the root becomes the 6th and the whaaaa? Please do a lot more explaining if you want me to understand that. But why change a perfectly good system. And why do you call it the Nashville numbering system in your music theory vid. The numbering system has been around for centuries and used Roman numerals to illustrate major and minor chords when harmonising a key. Major key I ii iii IV V VI and the dim vii. Anyway good luck with your 'simplification'. Liked the rest of your vid
taking indie route of not using mainstream sounds or whatever is not equal to not fulfilling the audience expectations. your'e just serve for a different audience.
