Hi @@RickBeato, I'd be interested in your opinion of Scaler 2 as an assistive tool for people learning music theory with aspirations of scoring (including me). It's super popular right now among bedroom producers. I'm also teaching myself the piano for same purpose.

I've always wanted to be a film composer, it's one of my biggest dream ever, but althought I've been producing music for six years, althought I've been pasionnated by music since I'm a little boy, I didn't know how to begin, how to compose. Film scoring was actually a whole new world, and I was completely lost, I couldn't find my way. Rick, I've just discovered your channel, and honestly, I think that I just found my guide in your videos. I've searched a channel like yours for years, thank you so much for transmitting your knowledge and help the beginners who are, just like me, lost in this wonderlful universe of film and orchestral music.

I love that mimicry is actually PART of a film composer's normal workflow. I have very little formal training but I've been playing mockingbird guitar over songs I like my whole life -- it's a very natural way to work for me and I honestly love learning that there's a specialization where it's normal&expected to just hear a track and imitate it.

@mal2ksc 6 жыл бұрын

tl;dr: Ear training, ear training, and more ear training. The good news is that this ear training will also serve you well when gigging, not just when transcribing.

Funny story: George Lucas originally wanted to use programmatic music for Star Wars (alla 2001: A Space Odyssey). Spielberg convinced him to have a chat with his friend 'Johnny'... and the world was never the same again.

@Charlyfromthenuclearcity 6 жыл бұрын

Good story indeed !

@mikesmovingimages 6 жыл бұрын

Likely apocryphal. By the time John Williams got work on Star Wars in 1976 he already had eleven Academy Award nominations and two wins (Jaws and Fiddler on the Roof) plus a slew of Emmy and Grammy nominations. Lucas would have known about him and likely already met him; both were nominated for Academy Awards for 1974 films. It was Lucas who temp-tracked the Korngold (a well-known theme in Hollywood) and specifically did not want futuristic sci-fi-ish music for his swashbuckling story. In discussing which composer would be best to execute Lucas' vision, Spielberg suggested Williams, but it wasn't as if Williams was somehow unknown before Star Wars. By the mid-70s, he and Jerry Goldsmith were already ruling the roost, along with Rota, Morricone, Barry and E Bernstein.

@fearitselfpinball8912 3 жыл бұрын

I love this Rick. I've been thinking a lot about the way theory can become this abstracted, conceptual thing--how it can become removed and intellectually quarantined from the 'direct experience' of music (rather than supporting it). Not here. I'm amazed by the extent to which the modal half steps you focus on relate directly to the experience of specific emotional colour in each mode. Tremendous.

Amazing video! Having been a full time musician for years I've just started to dive into orchestration recently and I found your videos really helpful! Even the things I already know about, it's really beneficial to refresh and take a look at it from a different perspective. Your musical knowledge and intelligence are admirable. I like how you prioritise theory and transcription, the most important tools for any musician. Many thanks and keep up the good work! P.S.: I know there are too many great contemporary composers to talk about, but I'd like to hear your views on the music of my favourite one, Ennio Morricone.

Brilliant as always Rick . Thank You . Great that you raised the topic of "temp" music and 'demoitis' . Temp music or guide music can be really tricky to get along with at times . Even if upon first listen you think to yourself " I don't like that at all " , it's rare that there isn't helpful information conveyed to you by the editors : even if it only relates to tempo ( most often the key if you are writing to a final edit , as is the case for TV ) , mood and/or entrance points etc .

Very nice, Rico, very nice. A smooth intro into filmscore thinking. One of your many gifts, my friend, is TEACHING and there is no doubt that you understand how to bring knowledge into the mind from the ground up. I think what I like knowing about ALL music is how the bits and pieces of everyone's music makes the rounds into everyone else's music. In short, it's HARD to be original, isn't it ? But we MUST listen carefully to our own souls and draw from that eternal wellspring !!

Looks like super advanced theory. I can somewhat follow the first part of the application on the keys. I can follow based on chord scales going diatonically. I guess come up with melody first.
