Hey there! If you want to learn how to build a career writing film & game music, check out my 6-week Composing Career Bootcamp: zachheyde.com/composing-career-bootcamp
I know I’m not the first to mention this, but this piece reminds me a ton of Ori and the Blind Forest. Gareth Coker is my all time favorite composer, so this is a huge compliment!
I really think you could have written music for the videogame "Ori & the Will of the Wisps". Your composition/track is really in the style of Gareth Coker. The use of choir harmonizing with the strings and the pulsing celeste and harp on top hits me with nostalgia... you don't know how much fun I had with that game!
These are marvellous times we live in that a master like Zach Heyde can help someone like me who studied composition over 10 years ago get back on the horse for free! :D
Hi there, what is the thing you are using with your mouth? I'm guessing it is for expression? I took a look on your gear list and couldn't see it but it looks like a really interesting tool. Great video by the way! I would love to see something on how you mix on the fly (particularly the EQing) as that is personally a weak spot and I can see that you have a great ear for it.
This is incredible work, I just recently acquired a midi keyboard and have been struggling to find a decent place to get VSTi’s like virtual instruments of the sorts for music composition, where would I look?
Thank you for the very inspiring and wonderful video! A technical question: around 1:50 how do you record the strings sections all together and have the voices splitted between the tracks? (using divisimate or some other logic functions?) Thank you!
I've really wanted to get into digital composing for a while now. I've got FL Studio but not sure which orchestral vst's to get that don't cost a fortune. Any suggestions? Also, what would be a good midi keyboard for a decent price?
You could try EastWest's Composer Cloud subscription, or grab Spitfire's orchestra for around $50 (I think)! MIDI keyboards vary--just make sure it has a mod wheel!
Hello ! Thank you for this amazing video, yet again ! I composed this week my first background fantasy music for a video game, so this video was like perfect timing ! Very very helpful ! Have a great day ! :) I

Lovely video Zach! Can you tell us what the neckband is called and the purpose of it? Is it to control the vibrato or velocity?

Hi there, you probably get this question a lot but, what's that mouthpiece you're using to control the velocity of the pads/horns?
Can someone tell me please how is that blowing thing to make wind instruments called?
What DAW do you use to create the ambience?

You are amazing bro
Thank you :)
How do you choose your scale ? A scale to an emotion ?
Ori vibes, soooo good! What library are you using for the harp? Amazing stuff
Thanks John! I'm using Spitfire and ProjectSAM 😁
Thanks!
Hey Zach, great video as always. How are you finding the Prologue there in the back? Have been tempted to get one for quite a while!
Thanks Alex! The Prologue is pretty incredible--some AMAZING sounds come from that thing!
Chrono Cross vibes there man!
This is a very wow type song :)
Great video Zach! Quick question, that piece of equipment you're using around 1:54 - what is that?
Next video will address this!
@@ZachHeyde Looking forward to it
May i ask what are you using with your mouth?
I don't know if you are going to see this comment. But it is a Breath Controller. In another comment he said that it was the TEC Control Breath.
@@Ekr3n tsm man
Is the thing in your mouth some kind of blown mod wheel? If so thats so cool!
dude you are good, try something like what frank is doing, you will do wonders ❤️
I would like to get pointers
It reminds me of Thomas Newman who is one of my favorites.
Okay I need a new mac more powerful :D
that's now how that works lmao
What application are you using?
Logic Pro X :)
What's that thing in your mouth for?
I don't know if you are going to see this comment. But it is a Breath Controller. In another comment he said that it was the TEC Control Breath.
