Please tell us your final analysis on the osmose vs the rise; I’m interested in your take concerning which of the two gives the most flexibility and which gives the most sense of connection with the sound. I understand you may not consider one “better” than the other in regards to these questions but of course I would like to know …if you could only keep one which would it be? Thank you!

Hi, great tutorial! I’m new to this software and just to try and get used to it I tried to recreate your first track. But when I do, my studio trumpet sound like an octave higher than yours even when we play the same notes. Is there something changed which makes yours sound lower? I’d love to hear it. Thanks

@cinematic_monkeyКүн бұрын
@@ImpliedMusic Well You said Gregson-Williams, so given there are two of them, I wanted to know which one was your favourite, because Harry is generally more recognized of the bunch. I believe Rupert is the Younger brother. No ill intentions here :) Me, personally I can't tell which one I would choose, they're both great, groomed and raised by the great father of modern film score HZ. I can't tell them apart sometimes because they merge in my head into this Gregson-Williams two-head monster composer. Wonderful review btw. I'm not sure if You transcriped the piece yourself, but some of the chords feel off to me. I'm pretty sure I can hear B/G then Dm/A to A all the way in the cadence. But I'm just an amateur so please forgive me if I'm being nonsensical.

Breaking it down to 2 and 3 makes sense since our cognitive structure probably grooves to one and/or others better than 7 or 9. So we get 3 and 4. But why does musical language find its way, when we you get past bars to phrases, to 4 but not 3? Waltzes have a pulse of 3 inside the bar but just as triplets concede to a 4 beat bar waltz impulses resolve to 4 bar phrases. Do know of any music that has 3/4 inside the bar but never concedes to 4? Concentric circles of 3s?

Good question. C7 is: C E G Bb… C maj7 is C E G B. In the first case the interval between the root and 7th is minor. In the 2nd, that interval is major.

I've been doing some odd meter stuff too I've taken groups of 11 (3+3+3+2), then cut them off to fit into 2, 3, 4 and 5 bar phrases, and then played them on top of each other, the results are quite cool. Furthermore I added a polymetric drum groove with multiple groupings playing against each other, creating even more rhythmical ambiguity.

Have you been psychically looking over my shoulder again Chris? (you knew I was going to ask that right? 😶🌫🤫😃) . I've been working on a 5/8 piece which follows a cycle of major mediants. The challenge here is to avoid sounding like Take 5. Yes you have to internalise rhythms. I play and sing in 7/8 regularly (both at once) and if you have to think about what you're doing, forget it. The Dead naturally made it sound like they'd just accidentally dropped a beat from an otherwise conventional sequence. There are fewer available permutations than 12/8 - it's either 3+2 or 2+3 although I've tried double and half-timing sequences which can be interesting. Then there is syncopation, which I find easier in 7/8 or slip jigs (9/8), it doesn't have to be the hellforleather craziness of Bulgarian Wedding Music but, you know, people still dance to that kind of stuff! The trick is always to avoid making it feel like a mathematical exercise.
