Phrase Branching Score in FMOD
Переглядів 74Рік тому
This project demonstrates the use of a branching score in FMOD. One of the main goals in this projects was to learn how to effectively get a lot of mileage out of relatively short musical phrases. Another goal was to write in a way that allows the music to loop endlessly without becoming annoying-a tough task to say the least. My approach was to write sets of melodies for a few lead instruments...
Layered Score in FMOD
Переглядів 26Рік тому
This project demonstrates the use of a layered score in FMOD. In this particular score, there are 3 layers. Each layer must sound whole on its own, but also must sound appropriate when played congruently. Each layer represents a different aspect of gameplay (or game state), and must reflect a different level of intensity and excitement respectively. Layer 1 is calm exploration. Layer 2 indicate...

BERKLEE Tonal Harmony & Composition II: Final Project
"Europa and the pirate twins" was a great song.
the flat earth is one of my all time favorite albums, absolutely brilliant
His honesty in revealing his hiatus with JM is very touching.May I suggest that she was a little lost at this loint in her career and trying to reassert her identity at ghis point.Thomas was trying to bridge the void.
Very good interview.
Great interview.
Really interesting and inspiring. Thanks for this.
Banksy is a collective, Not one person only. I could say more but I won't
I've heard the same. They don't work alone. "Banksy" is about 5 people , and work in one of top 3 universities in the country. It is a bit of a con, the mystery has been carefully managed.
Nice one! TD is the Kid, and his trajectory is inspired. You're a good interviewer and congrats on being a student of his. That is super cool. Cheers!
Europa and the pirate twins is still my favourite Thomas Dolby single and I still have the 12" version .
I’m amazed by what TD did with the drums in Blinded by science. You’re such a genius Mr. Dolby. I’m a fan then and now✌🏻❤️
Great interview!!! His book is a great read as well.
Thank you for having TD share his experiences an acquired wisdom. Some great insights to be gained here.
Smartarse ❤️
Dolby is so intelligent, kind, and well-spoken. It's gutting to hear about the row with Joanie. Too bad that was never resolved. Dolby's a huge talent and will forever be a huge influence for my own music.
Whether or not this interview was intended to be spiritual or not, I feel it is incredibly spiritual and inspiring beyond almost any interview I've ever heard by any artist.
This is an absolutely amazing, intelligent, sensitive and candid interview. I've learned so much listening to this. Thank you for making this video and thank you for your honesty and your wisdom, it means more than you will ever know.
I'm glad you enjoyed this! Thomas Dolby has such amazing perspectives, stories, and lessons to share that benefit beyond just other musicians.
First make Golden Age of Wireless
Great interview! 👍
This is brilliant Thomas is and has been a huge talent
What a class act !
15:17... I'm now wondering who bought the other two copies of "Golden Age.." :)
Great job !
Great interview! I'm still waiting for a new album
This surely deserves more likes, views and appropriate flabberghastashion. Now everybody fire up their hifi and listen to The Flat Earth in highest resolution possible. 🧸💕🎼
Thomas! How dare you! KROQ was an early Dolby supporter! j/k To his point, I have no idea where my own place can be in electronic music. For sure, making albums is dead. Maybe maybe randomly showing up in public spaces? Say something relevant there? Bless his heart. Old acquaintance. London flat? He’s right, to make music you must listen. 20:17 I would guess the easy part to mess up in “Heroes” is the chord progression. Even Garson thought it was tricky. Sorry to hear about Joni! Wise thoughts about collaborating. 😢
I remember Thomas Dolby showing me synthesizers with the fly in the box on Jim hensons fafner hall back in 1990 when I was 5. Son of Ray Dolby. Both won the genetic lottery in terms of intelligence and creativity.
Thank you for sharing this great interview. Thomas Dolby is one of those people who has both the innate and extrinsic skill that he mentions early on in your conversation. Getting to speak with him and learn from him, in my mind, is like a student politician getting to intern for their favorite president, or a pianist getting a master class from Beethoven or Chopin. Except in your case, it's for real. I don't know why Thomas Dolby isn't a household name (despite his lack of aspirations to be famous!) everywhere, but I can only imagine it has to do with some of his attributes that make him so great to begin with...his humility and his glowing intellect that might be beyond some people's comprehension or appreciation. As well as how he's chosen to apply his talents mostly behind the scenes. Along similar lines, this video ought to have oodles of views. Treasure your experience! Thank you again so very much!
Yo cuh. I see what's up n' happening. I see you. Great job with yo music. I hope I cya 'round some more.
Groovin' to this rendition!! Love....
Love this music!! I can visualize all the text with music...sounds so authentic!
Don't be blinded by science either. Great interview
😂 Thanks!
Wonderful interview. Keep up the great work. What an articulate artist.
Thank you and yeah he’s great!
I still love "Fiction" from Dog Eat Dog ... Great song
This man produced Prefab Sprout’s Steve McQueen, my favorite album of the 80s! Long live the Dolby!
Me, too.
Outstanding album. You basically went to the record shop, put on the album and randomly picked a couple of tracks to listen to. And then the album was bought!!! And nearly 40 years later it still gets played in my house!
It was Dolby who discovered Prefab Sprout.
@@tomneff7030 Sort of. They had already released Swoon and were being messed around by A&R men at the record label. Dolby is an inspiration!! Love how.he has continued to be that eccentric British mad scientist!!!!
Totally could be Bach. And I greatly enjoyed the flow and the shift of harmonies. Nice, AJ.
Beautiful. Is this from the online course or as an in-person student?
Thanks! I attend the Berklee campus in Boston. But classes were virtual last summer when I wrote this. This course is part of the “core music curriculum”. Everyone takes it.
That's great. I love it.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I'm posting another shortly!
YESSSSSS GO TEAM!
Great job! 👍 I had a lot of fun making the thumbnail for this one and I belive you captured the assignment quite well.
This is such a cute little song. I had a fun time making the thumbnail for this one
Thanks! Great work on the thumbnail!
It's very interesting to hear the same piece played with different instruments. Good job!
Very nice!
Thanks!
Can I talk to you about how much I love this one? 😘
This is something I could study to ❤
Omg thanks 😂
Sooooo Good! Im happy to see you finally release this one.
Love the music to this song. The music while actors are speaking is brilliant. Great intros to the singing moments. Awesome piece!
Soooooo Good!
Thank you, friend!
By far my favorite that you've done for this class!
The clarinet/piccolo transition @0:51 keeps getting stuck in my head. Great job with this! Would love to see this live!
Thanks bro! I hope it doesn't end up driving you crazy!
This is such a fun song. I would love to see someone do an animatic/animation of this.
