  I love your videos with Lyra! Is there any specific scale that you tune it to?

• 
  @Christopher.white_9 күн бұрын

  Thank you. I appreciate it. I tend to tune it to open sounding harmonies. Avoiding thirds. For example the first note will be a low root, then an octave above. Then a fifth, a ninth maybe. A flat 6. Possibly a flat 7 too. Basically a descending melodic minor without the 3rd. Sometimes!

  Hi Christopher, this is really beautiful. My question is on a different subject so I hope that’s okay. I’m curious what you are using for percussive sounds. I’ve seen you use the Drum Brute and Digitakt and wonder what works best in your live workflow. Thank you!

• 
  @Christopher.white_12 күн бұрын

  Thanks Jerry. For live, it would be the Digitakt over the Drumbrute. Although either would work I think. In fact, the simplicity of the Drumbrute would be really nice. However, I am persevering with adding the MPC into my live set, as i would like to use it almost like a summing mixer as well as a percussive instrument. I feel very creative though with the Digitakt, and I guess that's an important factor. the new OS3 for the MPC will be interesting as i believe it will simplify things a lot.

  Christopher, I'm so glad I found your channel! Very inspirational and instructive, and nice to see someone using the Lyra 8 in a controlled and melodic way, especially paired with an acoustic instrument. . I've considered a Mooger Fooger before but the price is pretty high these days. Are you aware of an alternative that gets close to the Mooger Fooger? Thanks so much.

• 
  @Christopher.white_17 күн бұрын

  Hey Jerry, thank you. Yes the MF is great and I know the prices have shot up so much. Luckily I got mine before the ceased production so it was affordable then. I haven’t really seen an alternative. Always looking though.

  Great video as always Chris. Thank you 👍🏽. I hope it all went well too. I’m not prying but could I ask, do you make your living as a media composer or is it everything combined? I only ask because I’m not a businessman and it’s finding ways to be able to do it and to make a living from it. Streaming services as you know do nothing really. If it’s too personal to answer then I understand and won’t take it personally 🙂. Take care

  Hey Andi, of course. It fluctuates depending on what's going on. There have been times when income comes solely from composition work, and there are times when it's session/performance. I try to make sure i don't lose sight of either strand of income and that's the tricky part. It's always impossible to know what's around the corner so trying to not burn bridges! bottom line is that yes my income comes from everything combined i guess. I'm not a businessman either and there are DEFINITELY composers in the UK who are - maybe more so than being musically skilled. They make up a good proportion of the busy composers I would say. So take from that what you will...

  @@Christopher.white_ thank you Chris. I really appreciate your time and you saying this. I am in all honesty really pleased you do make an income from it. It would be a travesty if you didn’t, with the talent you have and portfolio to go with it too. I know we keep going and as long as there is food on the table and a roof over our heads then life is good. We can make ourselves ill and it’s finding that balance because it can be tricky. I am somewhat relieved you aren’t a businessman. I can only just about organise a cup of coffee myself 😂 . Thank you again Chris. I really appreciate your honesty and what you’ve said. Thank you.

  One the one hand, I think to afford to fail is a spectrum where at one end it’s a retirement fund/ lotto win/ inheritance /then music is the full time hobby. Or else full time employment and music is the downtime hobby. Or at the other end full time business maybe composing music and taking royalties but making choices purely based on business decisions not creatively risking too much. I think depending on the individual many would put themselves somewhere in the middle. Many still trying to work that out. Very much enjoy your output, thanks for sharing.

  Thank you. Yes I agree. It's a spectrum and nuanced, and risk is the underlying factor. From Basquiat living in cardboard boxes to [insert name of seemingly any English actor] coming from huge family wealth... I guess it's always been this way.

  I love this video. Wonderful to actually see your thought process. Have you ever said what the real you is and wants? I’m a hobbyist composer and have been involved in music my whole life from building high end recording studios with my father as a yonge man to being a radio broadcaster to making records with a buddy of mine. A guitar enthusiast, piano enthusiast and small studio owner. I do a nine to five job to support my passion for making music. I’m not good enough to be able to do it for a living but love that you can. So to my thinking if you have a financial plan which allows you to do what you inevitably cherish then to me yes you can say no to a cooking show theme music. But if it’s a significant income and still allows you to practice what you are capable of doing then doesn’t it mean you should do it to continue to do things you are passionate about? I don’t think making a choice to make money really defines who you are. If the opportunity is there think about the throngs of people who would love that job being offered to you. Most great artists in the past never made a great deal of money from their works, well until after their deaths in retrospect, but modern smart artists have managed to do their art and present it in such a way as for it to be lucrative for them. Blah blah blah. Sorry about that. All I am saying is I think what defines you is not so much what you’ve done but how you’ve done it. I for one would love to hear your work for a cooking show theme… Best of health.

  Thanks for another fascinating video Chris. You have such a beautiful tone on the tenor. Thinking about the power of a yes and a no, I tried being a "Yes" man after reading Danny Wallace's book, which meant me saying an immediate yes to invitations to do things that would normally have me going "urrrrrrm, let me think about it"or just plain "NO WAY !" I got invited to be a Morris Dancer, I said yes. I was invited to join a circus as a musician, I said yes. The wierdest one was me saying yes to joining an avant garde modern dance group when I cannot dance. All of these yes adventures resulted in great experiences and funny stories but the main takeaway from the experiment was that saying a yes left me in a different place after the project, the challenge changed me and grew me. Saying no has been more of a rooting in what I know, its put another layer on my defences or reinforced my way of doing things. Yes shakes up, no builds up (a wall) ? maybe, possibly 😀

• 
  @Christopher.white_Ай бұрын

  I like the way you put it - Yes: shakes up; No - builds a wall. I think it's very much part of the age we're in now where so much is put on us as artists that we have to do consistently - social media, hustling for work, writing, releasing... etc etc . It's all up to us these days. So simplification clarity and focus are for me anyway, something to strive for.
