The simple way to make your music sound HUGE 

Perhaps some negative space, to render more movement, for juxtaposition in this passage. Ahh....art school.

I've decided I'm going to start my own channel of me just faffing about with making music with the goal of making a full song and uploading it to soundcloud as the end goal of each episode. You've inspired me to do that. Except instead of being good at it, my thing will hopefully appeal to people like me who are in the "pit of despair" in the dunning-Kruger curve. About how there is no shortcut, and to embrace sucking at it, and laughing instead of giving up.

Thanks so much!

Thanks! Yeah I have three singles out on all streaming platforms under the Lost Art of Surrender moniker.

Your reference to Bach raises an interesting historical perspective. A whole lot of Bach’s music is continuous. In his contrapuntal textures, contrast is made with the coming and going of independent voices, including their shape, register, density with number of voices in play, etc. A big chunk of Bach’s music is set as perpetual motion. The steady stream of notes must have been be a key factor in W. Carlos’s choice of music for Switched On Bach. The perpetual motion pieces, in particular, can be easily mapped onto a sequencer. And it’s famously amenable to a wide variety of instrumental settings. Bach’s independent voices can be mapped to individual synths and synced. And that’s way easier now than it was for Carlos. The Brandenburg must have been a bear! The first thing I did when I got my Moogs was to sequence the C-minor Prelude from the first book of the WTC. I was elated! I had a blast with the EG and the filter creating an amazing variety of ‘instruments.’ I’m guessing there are a few post-grad papers on historical uses of ‘motivic’ silence, and how it becomes more prevalent as the Baroque morphed into Classical, and on to Romanticism. I wonder when the Grand Pause and //became a thing. And now we have The Drop.

But they have to have been featured in a video to be authentic “RU-vid Shorts” 🩳

I wonder if he also had a masterclass with Dr. Nagel 🤔😂

This guy gets it.

It couldn’t be helped 😅

Ah cool. Love Ricky’s channel 🙌

I think that kind of sterile feeling is just another tool in the toolkit. You’re right, it’s a little unsettling, but if that’s the effect you need - perfect. Like anything, it can be overused, but that’s where taste comes in.

Sedatephobia

Abso-freakin-lutely. Anyone who can look at my face for that long is automatically inducted.

@@JamesonNathanJones Knew it! Seriously, though, I do appreciate your videos. I'm hooked ever since, that one about "content" (which really resonated with me). Keep rocking!
