i have more pronlems by getting such beatiful sound of a piano, when i use every piano it never sounds so good like in your video. maybe u can one time explain why in a video.
@renederuiter4786 the vst matters or the fx you apply to get a rich piano sound .. when they say sound selection it's merely what you do select good vst sounds
Hey FL Studio and Imageline. since you do not pay attention to your own channel's comments, I'll try here. Is a linear style of tracks with the ability to dock automation n stuff in your considerations? Because while the FL is unbeatable in fast creating process, it's horrible in terms of housekeeping and organizing the whole project.You will lose multiple mouses because the mousewheel have to go up and down all day/week/year long. That's why I have to switch to Bitwig/Cubase after the projects goes beyond 40 layers. And bring back that Samurai sound effect at the start of your videos! Cheers.
@@AuXDubstep it sounds bad in all versions of what he made us listen imo, it's definitelly not right, you cannot listen to this and tell me it sounds good with context, it sounds so off, i feel like my interior glass just breaks everytime that part happens xD
@PhO3NiX96 nah, i agree with AuxDubstep. On its own it sounded bad, but in context with the topline melody and bass notes, it worked well and added a flavour of tension.
I've got a tiny problem. start at 3:45 and you're talking about the chord with a G5. Then it plays, and you hear a G, a D, and then an A-flat. The G and G-flat are two semitones apart and that kind of dissonance can't be right, it sounds very bad and out of place. I believe that should have been an Emaj/G, which would be G, B-flat, E-flat, then the pedal tone at the top.
@@DanLaDue well out of curiosity I just listened to the original, never heard it, now i get it lol, it's that G5b9 that sounds kinda "out" he was supposed to make some kind of Eb/G chord , but playing and listening to jazz all my life it kinda sounded lit on it's own, makes you do that stank face :p, but yeah completely different from the original lol
@@AlexRome He probably refers to the dissonance between the G5 and the G#-pedal. I think it might be a D# major triad over G in the bass, deviating from the G# pedal.
There’s no D natural in F minor but you can definitely borrow notes from other scales which he sometimes did. Question is, if I’m wrong, what note goes on top of that G bass note 🤔🤔🤔
My man, you made a little mistake here. On the fifth chord the bass is in G, which is correct, but you added its fifth on top, a natural D note, which in context implies that is a G minor chord, but it's actually a Eb major chord with the bass on the third, so that D note shoul've been Eb. I would've thought it was a modal interchange, but I listened to the song and it's fully diatonic. The rest is spot on, been enjoying your videos so far.
These vids are very useful to me.. ive been making basic beats for like a trap kind of genre around 140-160 bpm... your videos always seem to help.. thanks
I love these videos Alex❤ I think it would be great if in the future you could make videos analyzing the structure of some specific hit songs. For example, what structure Avicii used to keep 'Levels' up, which at the end of the day became a masterpiece. I think it would be great to learn from it.
This is quite missleading as a video considering salem al fakir made the chord progression for silhouettes. If you listen to songs actually mady by Tim himself around this time he uses power chords a lot, Levels, Bromance, UMF, Rapture and so on. Tim wasn’t a trained musician by this time and it showed in his chords, powerfull but melodic, so if you gonna make a video about something he actually made himself Bromance and Levels is the way to go, not Silhouettes.
Yeah well, it's fairly basic stuff (the chords). It's still the style that needs to sit right and Avicii understood how to produce commercial, energetic and big room dance.
Cool, modern music is getting too technical, sound design focused, we want music back! AI takes over and its all about tech stuff soon and but electronic music xsan still have great chords and melodies, bring it back!!
Breaking down his melodies in detail can take quite a lot of time. I once did it myself years ago (it's on my channel if anyone is interested). Learned much about composing compelling melodies/harmonies/rhythms. So, thanks for your effort, good job!
it bothers me so much that you don't reralise that the second half of the chord progression sound very very bad and it's not correct, yet you keep on going .... ewww
I must be honest with that I haven't heard any chords from his productions that are sensationally better than any other within "good". So I guess you have bought the hype...
The pedal tone on degree I of the major mode which produces the V(add4) chord has also been popular for some time in the contemporary choral repertoire, particularly favoured by Eric Whitacre, serving to weaken the sense of cadence when using chord V which otherwise would exhibit strong dominant function. Composers since the modal revival in the late C19th and C20th have been looking for ways to avoid the kind of perfect and imperfect cadence sounds that the dominant produces, and as popular classical choral music has increasingly drawn on the harmonic language of pop songs, these kinds of techniques have become almost clichéd as a way of simultaneously returning to more accessible harmonic sequences while avoiding the cadential implications of such sequences. Thought that might be of interest.
RU-vid algorithm is crazy. Just landed here through my main page. I just hold a little interest into how music works, but like electronic music in general. RU-vid seems to know.😄 Great to understand the foundation of Avicii´s music.👍
First of all, Salem Al Fakir game up with this chords for the track, second, if the goal with this video was to recreate the chords, try again, lazy work, sorry.
story time- this mans music legit helped be lose my v card. this out of my league woman heard my headphones and we connected at a party and he created such a feeling between us my "what if im bad, shes going to laugh ect" left my mind. sounds funny but he helped me push past my fears.(alot of men know THAT fear) so i will always respect and love this man. not many musicams can charge the atmosphere like him. RIP (yes it was a bit awkward but in a sweet way, we are still friends! )
dude awesome video as always!!! you really love Silhouettes as well this is like your third video i've watched on this track lmao, but i just wanted to let you know you played that G fifth interval wrong- its actually an E flat major that plays there. the G stays as a bass note though because he inverted it that way, and the actual bass plays G as well. otherwise i loved the breakdown, awesome vid dude!
you should do vandalism by porter robinson. ive tried to recreate just the beginning part i can get it to sound close but can never get it the same. its my favourite intro to a song.
Could you do “places to be” by Fred again as it seems such a simple song and yet it’s soo bouncy. Also the bass seems so clean and simple yet I can’t seem to recreate it it’s weird.
Awesome. I ain't learned off anyone else and I've tried. But I am picking things up from watching it videos I'm a Complete beginner and can't learn without doing it hats off to u.. Keep it coming
Nice breakdown. Who doesn’t love some Avicii? 🫶🏽 I always thought two-note chords were called diads, not intervals. Aren’t intervals just the distance between ANY two notes? 🤔
to those talking down about using the "G - D - Ab" PASSING harmony, the whole point of using it is for that chromatic "D" note. add to the fact its played on a weak/off-beat, the tension is used to PASS from one chord to the next. "typically", these chromatic passing harmonies are played in short duration. the longer they are held, the more "clashing" / dissonance is created. there is NO such thing in music as a "note that should not be played". there are no wrong notes. "would you rather play the "right" note at the wrong time... or the "wrong" note at the right time?" it's basically tension & release 101... COLOR
@@LohPro well said. It’s perfectly fine to barrow notes from other scales as well. I think the dissonance in this case sounds cool. I could be wrong on exactly which note was used but it really doesn’t matter.
