Writing interesting melodies and textures can be enhanced greatly by using counterpoint and voice leading. In this video, I give an insight into why this works and give some examples from a new track I'm writing!

With all the technology that we have available nowadays, the possibilities to create realistic-sounding orchestral mock-ups from home are virtually endless. In a new series, I take you through some hacks I use in my virtual orchestrations, in my efforts to make them sound exactly the way I want them to. These are meant to serve as an inspiration for you to come up with your own hacks, to create your own unique sound.

Hi Tom, thanks for this introduction and inside view. CSS sure is a great library, have fun with it. I'm curious to hear the end result of this piece which sounds amazing already. Happy composing and take care ;-)

Thank you Ed; glad you enjoyed it! :). The album should be finished in June, so stay tuned for a release in a couple of months!

Hey Tom, Goede video! Ik schrijf zelf ook orkestmuziek in de computer dan welliswaar, jn Cubase of FL Studio. Ik kan helaas niks op notenbasis vooralsnog, maar ben dat van plan te gaan leren. Ik kan al piano spelen dus dat scheelt misschien. Wel toffe video, ik heb geabonneerd!

Ha Levi, dankjewel voor je reactie! Mocht ik je ergens in je leerproces bij kunnen helpen, laat het me dan vooral weten! Ik geef sinds kort ook les in orkestratie, dus mocht ik je kunnen helpen stuur dan vooral een berichtje!

So basically nobody write counterpoints fast? It's hard process where you have to take plenty of tries right?

@tomponist 8 месяцев назад

I'd say so, yes. It's a process of trial and error

sorry but this is not "good" counterpoint

Thanks for your comment! I am aware that I am not following the rules of traditional species counterpoint. The intent of this video was to showcase the advantages of having multiple lines working together to create a texture that is more 'alive', let's say, compared to static chords with a melody. I composed those different lines by following what sounded good to my ears, instead of the rules. I do not mean to say that the rules of traditional species counterpoint are not valuable or that you shouldn't study them (on the contrary!), they just go beyond the extent of this video. I hope that shines a light on your concern :)
