In this video I'll teach you the 4-step process that I use to arrange music in all of my soundtracks
🎹 For information on private lessons: www.tabletopcomposer.com/book...
Arranging music is more about having a reliable workflow/strategy than simply memorizing the ranges and uses of a bunch of different instruments. If you start by figuring out what you want your arrangement to accomplish, then everything else will fall into place!
We'll start by learning how musical structure and form can inform a piece of music, then we'll tackle a reliable strategy for mapping out new arrangements, before figuring out some tips for creating a basic sound and then fine-tuning your final draft!

Still hard to believe that kyrie eleison is a super ancient song at this point. Kind of awesome to see how basically every famous western composer has written their take on the mass

Ha ha ha that sounds like a vibe! The KZfaq algorithm loves it when people rewatch my videos though, so can't say that I'd call it a "mistake". More like an "opportunity" 😆

At times, the melody of the Kyrie reminds me of the theme from Blake's "Walking in the Air". Nice.

Great video as always! On a different note, how do you think these tips would apply to game music? Since most game music doesn't have a clear climax because you can never know how much time a player will take on a specific level, I find it difficult to build-up intensity outside of using some adaptive audio systems where the sections change based on player progress. But then how would one go about scoring scenes where there is no player progression, like a menu maybe?

@TableTopComposer 5 ай бұрын

Very good question! Every composer has a different approach, and it really depends on the type of game. The Ori games, for example, use a combination of adaptive music as well as more traditional structures. It would come down to personal preference.

I make 90s trance music, a bit more instrumental and melodic and these tips really help me to think about stuff even in EDM field. I was wondering what books did you learn from? Would be nice to have this compostional knowledge

@TableTopComposer 5 ай бұрын

I didn't learn this specific technique from a book :) It was something I had to piece together from years of practice, and fine tuning my approach to writing. However, the book that inspired me most is "music composition: craft and art" by Alan belkin. He was the first author to teach me that I could take a more structured approach to writing music! If you want to learn more about orchestration in general, though, I recommend the free classes on my website :)

@@TableTopComposer if there was in-depth book of what you teach, but in piano roll I would definitely buy it. I bet there are loads of producers who can't read traditional sheet music, but feel free when it comes to piano roll. At least I get it and can make complex progressions, moods, etc. but can only think in piano roll terms :) Maybe an idea for you, try and cook a book, even a short one could do.

Thank you for the idea! I actually wrote one already, my publisher is moving a bit slow but it'll hopefully be out this year :)
