How to Write Music - Keeping It Simple 

Your awesome Guy....🥀🤘🔥❗

Yeah Sean, I was thinking the same thing. Refreshing videos to watch.

People in the middle east and africa should be left to their own devices in the first place, who says that US or UK are the "omniscient representatives of all that is good" on this planet? But it's tricky, even if I'm think of myself as a "good" person and that I am no participant in none of the foreign bullshit myself, nearly all the parts and components of the laptop I'm using to type this right now came from child-slavery mining in africa and after that went into semi-slave cheap labor to manufacture in China, but here I am thinking of myself as "good". So what is the answer? I would love if anyone provided me one, because I don't fucking know. The only thing I ask is not talking about the middle east like they are the source of the problem.

FeelingShred amazing how this kind of poop could wind up on this page....the guy was just composing a simple piece of music and now we have this kind of junk oozing up.

@@rodterrell304 i agree, "negotiate peace in middle east" is just an expression afterall ;P

@@FeelingShred ...bruh...

LOL

Guy is brilliant, seems a bit ADD (like a lot of us) and I think his approach hooks people in, especially those with ADD and distraction issues. The simplicity of the music mixed with the changing camera angles keeps the thought processes compartmentalized, at least for someone like me. Good stuff.

which I love it helps me to concentrate

LOL noticed that to

ha ha ha

Whooaaa I never thought about it like that but that's so accurate

and like David Attenborough but of music

Lets put there sume tre-- uhm, some woodwinds!

@@omerfarukbykl6097 happy little woodwinds

Actually, to me it sounds like a combination of Bob Ross and Jeremy Clarkson (wchich I also very like, despite everything). I have no connection with music making whatsoever, and still I feel like I could watch him forever. So magical.

Exactly right, that's what we need to remember while we working on a piece of music. "Don't forget to enjoy every moment of it"

A man of character! Always nice to see!

man+guitar=man with guitar

I wanna work with him, NOW! Sounds like someone working on a Final Fantasy OST, so beautiful!! He´s officially my 4th musical idol now, after Nobuo Uematsu, Akira Yamaoka and Clint Mansell!! My own vocal coach comes 5th on that ranking...lol

@@chanceneck8072 wow we have the same musical idol. Nobuo Uematsu, Akira Yamaoka (I

@@thenimbus664 Thanks, man! I will try that! But don´t tell me, your third idol is also Clint Mansell! Or is he?... xD

Lmfao truly

at the end of the day, we're all human

i was wondering when i read your name , and i just realized is it your name influenced by j dilla ?

4D Beats Glad to help!

I am on the exact same journey my friend :D Good luck in your future explorations :D

Good libraries you would recommend for choirs? I have some but they're not really easy to work with... good sounding tho!

@@ClicStudio I am old lol So I use mainly "Symphony of voices" which has been around forever now and was used by everyone, even Rammstein or whatever. "Miroslav Choirs" is also not bad. And "Voices of the Apocalypse" which has limited use, but is servicable when you can use it. I can't recommend you good new ones, since I don't know good new libraries. Depends on what you want to do and what software you use. As with almost every library, I'd recommend really checking out what you are getting. There are a lot of borderline useless libraries. I got myself a few "free trials" over torrents back in the day to check stuff out.

catburglar82 Thank you, I’ll check em’ out anyway:)

It's the good kind of cheese. Like a perfectly matured piece of cheddar on a cracker with your morning tea. Doesn't really belong there, but enhances the experience.

Arcade 😊

Im in the same exact escenario! :D lovely mood

yeeep

He has a pleasant personality and conveys passion with joy and enthusiasm.love watching this dude. Plus he helps me understand how to use cubase without pressure.

I'm still trying to decipher if these ones are real windows or paintings... Either way, they serve their purpose... Impressive

I love that space so much. So much natural light and greenery Something to aspire to for sure.

@@FeelingShred I wondered the same! At first I thought it wasw real, but then started to doubt it as it may loook very perfect (and perfect can be fake)..However, I am still not sure now

@@FeelingShred I wondered too. But you can see the real place from outside here ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SoXnytYspa8.html

Must be nice to have money.

I enjoyed 17:40 also.

Next video is going to be, how to create film scoring SFX with your mouth 😂😂

Can relate Look at my comment ^^ XD

exactly, by simple, I thought he was just going to write everything on a piano.

This arrangement isn't simple at all lol. He obviously has an education about the different chords and how they work together but most people don't. Matter of fact no audio software program is simple I've used many different ones. People who say it's easy are full of shit. It's only easy if you just play one or two instruments and add a simple beat and leave it at that. But if you try to put together a full blown song, with a beginning, middle, and end it's fucking difficult.

I guess, but as far as orchestral writing goes this is really simple (still gorgeous!), so I thought he was spot on!

@@damienholland8103 Nothing is wrong with simple. If it works, it works.

@@PeteS_1994 I never said anything was wrong with simple. What I said is that what he did is not simple.

I love it. Its in the garden and a home office. I have a bigger studio about 10 mins away but this is where I do most of the real work

and it works!

you're more than welcome

no it sound like something from _wait for it...._ *MY BUTTHOLE*

Leia stuff!

And I shockingly enjoyed it 😄

check...whats next?

Jason Station invite me over and watch my genius unfold.

@@FollowFunk Poor craftsmen blame their tools.

Thank you - this video is doing well so we'll do more like this in future

Ha ha :)

He was a master

great!

I will only be able to believe in any of it once I hear samples on your channel

Rufus D Tonebug I was thinking the same thing 😭

I didn't think this comment made sense until I reached 16:51 when the bass came in and I was like oh yeahhhhhh LOTR vibes

But also moreso getting like sinister soap opera / horror / who died in this haunted house combo

I have to agree with you. I feel it also has an Alexandre Desplat feel to it also. What kind of music do you like? Do you play any instruments?

@@linreynoso8963 I play guitar and have a very small RU-vid channel 👍🎸

Mate, you could create a course on toasting bread and I'd sign up. You are an absolute boss.

Yes! Just because you 'can' isn't sufficient reason for doing

But imagine if Mozart had access to max4live!

@@Am6-9 Scary! :)

@@Am6-9 Aphex Twin?

lol a quartet and an orchestra, and that's it. how many instruments is that btw?

hahahahaha

Searching comments for someone else who noticed.

Dya own a midi-keyboard? Force yourself to record everything in real-time with no quantization the next time you produce. If you get lost in the jamming and forget to produce anything that session you can count that as a big win! I'd also suggest you trying to soak up as much music theory you can, and enforce it during your jam sessions (things like figuring out what scale a song is in is kinda fun, and then just freestyle jam over that particular song). Avoid most EDM channels when it comes to music theory videos on youtube. They might be a good resource for sound design and stuff like that, but when it comes to theory they really seem to take the path of least resistance, to a fault ("just write everything in A minor so you don't have to deal with those pesky black keys, and configure your piano roll so you can't click in keys out of scale. Don't worry about what chord you're clicking in, just click in a bunch of notes with some gaps in-between them, bro!"). Nah, most of them sound like shitty get rich quick-schemes. Channels like this or Michael New is much more inspiring when it comes theory and workflow etc. Oh, and if you're studying via yt vids I suggest you get several sources for every topic. Don't just watch one video about "circle of fifths" and decide that you're done with the topic for the rest of your life, cuz then you might miss out on the excellent video called "8 Facts About the Circle of Fifths that you May Not Already Know " by Brian Kelly. The only thing you should know is that you don't know anything :P I'm a beginner myself tho so all that might be mumbo-jumbo, but those are things that has helped me.

Its partly true. But did you know that not even AVICII knew Music Theory? - My advice is that you start bring in your favorite tracks in your daw / put a loop region on it & play the chord sections so many times that your ears gets used to them. You then try to pinpoint each note that the chord is made up for & mimick those chords. When youv written down the chords of your favorite track - You then change the notes slightly... Voila - You just made your own chords by mimicking your favorite Artist! Good Job! - And that is Exactly how you learn being creative & gets you to start ANY song. You could even watch my tutorial on how to get it done this way! 👍

@@tredfxman Yah, there've been thousand upon thousand of great artists that doesn't know any formal music theory. I mean, they probably do know the theory internally after experimenting so much with creating music, playing instruments and active (ACTIVE!) listening etc, but they just don't know the terminology, and they clearly don't need to. I just think theory mixed with playing an instrument, producing and active listening can get you to your destination faster (if you manage to have fun with it, ofc. If you don't see any value with knowing theory, or if just the thought of it puts you to sleep I totally get it, but there's a lot of peeps who just imagine boring clefs in their mind when they think about theory, and just goes "yeah, fuck that shit" and won't bother beyond that. That's atleast what happened to me back in the day when I borrowed boring theory books from my library :P) At the end of the day there's no right or wrong tho. Whatever gets your creative juices flowing is the right way. To me hands on instrument plinkin' to backing tracks with some theory (I haven't been able to internalize super deep stuff yet, tho!) has really helped me get going, and if someone gets inspired to produce after watching what I would consider a "shallow" video with a clickbaity title I can only congratulate the creator of the video to help inspire someone to produce, even if the content doesn't resonate with me :) (I didn't mean that your video was "shallow" and has a clickbaity title, btw. I haven't watched it, so don't think I'm targetting you!)

If you play guitar, we have some good digital controllers based on that layout. 'Jammy' comes to mind.

I could not agree more. One must earn through composition one’s right to brass, percussion, choir...

Honestly this is play, not work. A sketch rather than a finished piece.

hmm you could be right!

thank you!

aha....I will check it out for next time - sorry!

nope, it's distorted

@@ThinkSpaceEducation You do that! :) Your content is invaluable and your spirit always gets a smile on my face. Keep on!

On my iPad, for majority of the film, no it wasn’t extremely distorted. It got so when the horns came in and then peaked out toward the end. Great video tho of enthusiastic studio session with a talented musical arranger and composer. Thanks for the fun and informative upload but do checkout the recording input volume for your next film. Regards

You are very welcome thank you

@@thinkspaceeducation3159 Sir i had to come back here to apologize over my previous comment above. I didn't mean to be disrepectful when saying " i don't know you" and after a few research i feel i had to apologize for my lack of culture at the time i wrote that statement, and also i want to thank you even more (now that i know who you are, lol) for sharing all this great knowledge, especially the way you do it. Much much respect for all your work and sorry again. Greetings from Paris :)

Thank you - Im flattered!
