this is like that episode of spongebob where he shows everyone how to draw a circle. and in order for spongebob to draw a circle he has to first draw the mona lisa and erases the stuff he doesnt need.
Something that I really respect about Tim is that he's very honest about how he composes his material, and how much digital tools aid in the process. Part of it is due to increasing music's overall knowledge base being a net-positive, but also because for what he's doing, knowing how to compose it means very little if you can't play it. It'll sound cool when synthesized, but it becomes incredibly special when played.
@@davidk7439 I thik Tim does it that way because he said it allows him to be more creative and then figuring a way to translate it to playing it on a instrument makes it sorta special and unique since they basically doing an arranged cover of the digital music. Thats what I think of it when Tim makes the songs, doing creative covers of digitized songs from a computer program lol
@UCv5nz9r3nKK5QkWoU-sCcLA tim said ichika was initially play some parts of this song, but then polyphia decided to finish the song all by themselves and put ichika's part in another song called "death note".
@@ZRisyad No they didn't put their part in Deathnote, you can hear the part Ichika wrote in this video. They just wanted it to go in a different direction and asked him if he had any other riffs laying around, which he did, and then Polyphia wrote a song around it, i.e. Deathnote. So the part in Deathnote is different :)
I couldn't put my finger on what made this video different. Then I realised that you never said "like" once. You knew that people criticized you about it and you improved it. Thank you for being my #1 music hero.
Just FYI Tim, when trying to select all of one note in Ableton (Like changing all E's at 2:00) you can just click the note on the piano roll on the left side!
Thanks for sharing your process! Weird fun fact: Taylor Swift interpolated “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred as the rhythmic inspiration for “Look What You Made Me Do.” She did credit them as co-songwriters before releasing it.
These videos are some of the most inspirational content I’ve ever seen! An artist breaking down there own material creation in detail is worth its weight in gold. Wish creativity was teachable lol. This is better than lesson material I’ve paid for.
Your songs give me a whole new appreciation for pop music. It'll never be my favorite genre, but I'm starting to recognize that it's not all hot garbage, so thank you!
To be fair it kind of is hot garbage, but it is composed in the background by a hand full of people who REALLY understand music. The end result is trash most of the time but not because of bad composition, just because of over saturation and appealing to the least common denominator's pocket book.
These are really dope, and I love the honest insight into where the inspiration for your compositions come from. I also really respect the attitude about liking certain music vs. recognizing it as objectively good. I'd love to see one of these on James Franco or Champagne!
This is great, explaining how you created your songs must be important for you to share your passion not just for playing music, but making music too, and we get to learn and share in that experience as well. dope.
Atrracted by "O.D." instantly. Triumphant and epic sounds indeed. Love how you darken the vibe and objectively analyzing what you hate, that's precious ⚡
Even if there is 0,01% chance that you read this, could you do a making of Look But don't Touch ? It's an underrated masterpiece and i would love to know how it was made, I'll see you again in belgium next year, keep rocking ❤️🔥
Honestly I wouldn't say no to having a new mix of that song with the bass and drums made super brutal like the bit that plays at the end of this video.
Look But Don't Touch will be an interesting one to look into... I've been writing tracks hoping to sell to a publisher as a songwriter, but have been lacking the edge/inspiration and this style of writing/producing inspires me to do something different. This insight is so interesting
Said outloud "Castlevania" on cue with you. 😉👌 Absolutely nailed it. I like how the newer gens listen to everything, especially genre-wise, and incorporate all those weird influences in their music. Been out of the loop musically for awhile now, so just heard Polyphia, but by far it's the most interesting and musically exciting shit I've heard in a long time. Like that hoodie, and your dachshund, too. Gonna be getting two new pups soon myself. That's the color I wanted too, but cream is rare in short hairs. 🤘🍻
it is always good to see who understands about something, explaining things that I am totally unaware of even if I don't understand anything, it's very interesting (really)
Hey Tim.. Your music is awesome and you have a gift for teaching as well. It would be amazing if you made a guitar tutorial video on what chords guitarists can learn to up their composition game. For example, diatonic 7th chords, triads, inversions, what have you. It could help start the creation of better music overall. Most people just know their basic bar chords and compositions with these usually suck.
I hated this dude the first time I heard goat. Its so good i was seriously gonna quit. 30 years of playin and I didnt even know the fretboard. A month later, after pissing my neighbors off for about 4 hours a day, I can sweep up and down the neck variating shapes, reversing, and a little tapping here and there!!! I dont have the words for how much I appreciate that. Hes responsible for all of it. If you end up reading this Tim, you fuckin rule!! I'd NEVER have done that if I hadn't been so impressed.
I think i would have done some Double thumping on the first note of the chord and only 3 noted for the melody. You're an inspiration keep up the good work.
I’ve always heard a song from Renaissance is made from an Ariana Grande beat (supposedly Amour?) but I’ve never seen much info on it, maybe that? Love the series!
Although I hate this writing style and feel like it removes all creativity from the process, I can’t argue with the fact that this is the best way to make a catchy pop song.
Tim I'm learning a ton from your videos!! Can you break down Lit or Icronic? I would love to see the thought process behind those songs!! Keep up the great work!
I know nothing about playing or composing music. I just have always preferred instrumental music. I have no idea what these words mean but this is so interesting! Even my ADHD was like "what?! Tell me more.." 😂 make more music and then make more of these please
Dude, I love the new format, but could you use some compression with amplifier on your mic so we can hear you better? Your voice is way quieter then the rest of the sounds.
@@JordanPool13 Metal probably draws from more diverse genres than any other type of music.... one look at all of the diff sub genres says it all... hard disagree....
@@aixide it literally evolved out of blues. There's bands with country elements, with medieval elements, there's funky bands and so on and so forth. There are loads of different inspirations
@@teisguitar_old hard disagree. Musicians and guitarists have a different kind of appreciation, but Polyphia manage to make very technical music catchy. I'm the only member of my family that plays an instrument, all of us, parents included, like Polyphia
"Objectively good" is a myth and means nothing. All that matters is that you explain your argument and reasoning with the text. There's no objective measure of good, and all criteria you could set is arbitrary. Whats considered "objectively bad because its not even in tune" means nothing in cultures with different tunings and temperament systems.
@@UbiDoobyBanooby You heard it here first guys, if you live anywhere that doesn't use the western standard 12-tone equal temperment tuning, your music is objectively bad. It doesn't matter if all your country's traditional instruments have a different tuning standard, it sounds out of tune to westerners and is therefore objectively bad.
