How to make WEATHER CHANNEL MUSIC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Hey everyone! In today's video, I dive into the beautiful sounds that the late 80s and 90s brought us. The Weather Channel was always on when I was growing up in the early 2000s and I can definitely say it brings a heavy amount of nostalgia. My Dad and I recently collaborated on a synthy vaporwave-esque track that attempts to bring back that classic sound. I'm almost at 100,000 subscribers and will be releasing a small video with another track I just worked on very soon! Hope you enjoy :)
Disclaimer: TWC was founded in 1982, It was not around during the 70s like I stated in the intro so that's my bad!

also i forgot to mention imagine chilling in your house with smooth jazz playing and ur about to get struck by an ef5 tornado okay BYEEE
lol
that would be hilarious
Normal occurrence
that lowkey goes hard
promise?
you, sir, are incredible. As a music composer myself, I love the passion and the effort you put into this and the fact that it was even collaborated with your father is really wholesome
Can't go without crediting Trammell Starks, the original composer for the weatherscan soundtrack. His legacy is greater than just being an influence on vaporwave. When people talk about 21st century smooth jazz, he's one of the big names.
petition for Frizk to present the weather with this music
it's been hearted!
I would literally help make an app if he wants to
Dude both you and ur dad killed it with this one. I love weather channel music
4:25 those arpeggios up top are just 🤌 I love the Weather Channel music, vaporwave, liminal spaces, the jazz cup pattern, Windows 95 etc. It's all just so cozy and you really captured that feeling in this track. Absolutely fire
I would LOVE a full album. great work explaining the instruments and feel.
MAKE ONE!!
I swear to god, this guy truly had an AMAZING childhood. Thank you so much for making this video tutorial on how to make my favourite type of aesthetical music!
i can finally start my own weather station without the fear of having no music , thank you!
i asked frizk if i can use this for my own old-school analog tv station and if he answers it's gonna be so perfect
I used to be annoyed by this music as a kid, but its reallyyyy growing on me! It's so good and sounds amazing!
hello from a 48 year-old weather channel music aficionado. You and your Dad did a STELLAR job with this - nicely done!!
@@wigglwrrm could you give me some good music recommendations?
The fact that I’ve been struggling on making a weather channel song for our video game that is inspired by 90s vapor wave weather channel songs and you posted this video just when I went searching for tutorials is a Godsend
If you are willing to go a step further, you can collaborate with frizk on the entire game ost and have him in the team.
The Rippingtons, Chris Geith, Jeff Lorber. They would all be proud. This sounds the most like the Rippingtons tho for sure. Like a slow version "Moonlighting" or "Open All Night." Great job
Jeff Lorber is so great
@@aaronhernandez9931 can you tell me more weather channel artists?
This is the BEST Vaporwave how-to produce video since FrankJavCee back in 2015, not to mention you are WAY up there in terms of talent! These melodies are so good with the bassline and the guitar... Very well done
frankjavcee tutorials were toptier miss that guy he taught me a lot in terms of utilizing native plugins/navigating menus and such when I was first getting into FL.
Feeeeeelll theee vaporrrrr, beeeeee the vaporrrrr [vaporwavee]
I was 20 in 1994, and I had bad anxiety and panic attacks, and I couldn’t sleep at night because of that. So I would stay up all night just watching the weather channel, lol. Here I am at 49, digging this video at midnight and thinking about how good my Yamaha QY70 would work for making this music… everything comes back around :)
Go for it! Would love to listen your weather channel music!
this is sick, it would be awesome if you managed to run it through a cassette to give the old compressed low pass sound to complete the whole weather channel package
such an awesome idea
The Weather Channel had such amazing music. From about 1996-2002, I watched a LOT of Weather Channel and it was all about the "Local On The 8's" because that's when the music would kick in (weather updates incremented every 8 minutes (i.e. 6:08, 6:16, 6:24, etc) in case no one knows what I am talking about). Their Christmas music was awesome too. I still get their version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer stuck in my head some 30 years later. 😂 That track is super smooth and it's cool you and your dad collab. I collab with my son from time to time as well. 😊
as a future meteorologist, i share your love for A.) weather and B.) TWC music. i would absolutely LOVE an album full of TWC-esque music! :3
Dude I can’t explain how much of an inspiration you are to me right now
I’m both so happy and jealous of your success and recognition you’re getting you deserve it all man
I’ve been training myself musically classically for years and have always been scared of failure when it comes to digital creation and you’ve been giving myself determination to get on it.
Thank you!
As a kid of the 80's and 90's, this and vaporwave is really nostalgic for me. Reminds me of the neon lights at my local mall and my time spent at the arcade. Amazing music my man, keep it up.
Dude, this slaps!!! This makes me so happy!!!! It reminds me of my childhood when things were great and I was so happy.
Lord have mercy, you just teleported me back. I remember hearing this as a little kid, wondering what kind of weirdos the weather channel music was made for. Now it's an entire identity. Absolutely iconic.
Weatherwave type music goes crazy. Nice vid
The guitar is what makes it. I didn't realize how much the sonic identity of the early 00's weather channel was guitar but that was the bow that tied it all together in the end.
I was at the Atlanta airport for a transfer flight and a lot of the music playing there is chill smooth jazz that's right at home on the Weather Channel! Thank you for this tutorial! And yes, I would love an album of tracks for the Weather Channel
I never thought i would watch a guy on YT make weather channel music but here we are and i watched the whole thing.
Bro, first of all, thank you. I genuinely felt like no one else was into smooth jazz, or the music played from the Weather Channel. I listen to it on a daily basis, while everyone around me listens to what is out now in the mainstream. You have not only inspired me, but also changed my perspective on my own life; as in, I normally make hip hop beats (for example, think of Griselda, modern day boom bap), but the fact that after reading the comments and seeing how many people are actually into this genre, makes me want to experiment and make my own smooth jazz kind of music. Once again, thank you man.
I used to go to sleep to the weather channel as a kid, glad I'm not alone LOL
When i was younger i always put something on tv (usually weather forecasts) when i was playing games since i felt alone. So the music most definitely hits home.
Also congrats on whats soon to be 100k!!
Turned on the Weather Channel back in the 90's for the music when I worked nights and would come home to sleep listing to Weather Channel music.
Love these song breakdown vids! Your style is really inspiring honestly
The title caught my interest, the charm of your passion for this kept me for the whole vid.
Im so glad other people are interested in the weather channel. I used to see my family watching it after school, and i began to watch it before I fell asleep from the era of 2003-2014. There's an entire community around the weather channel still going to this day, there's even a discord server too. Some people even own intellistars, which were the computers that took weather data in and created the presentations for Local on the 8s. Everyone once in a while you'll see someone streaming a refurbished weatherstar xl, intellistar, and most commonly intellistar 2s. The theme over the years generally updated as these were changed. The earliest I remember is the weatherstar xl between 2003 and 2005, but some places had it much longer. The intellistar was from 2005-2012, and is the theme I remember the most. The intellistar 2 also had a great theme called azul for a while, from 2013-2015ish. After they updated the theme to Watt is when they took all the good music out, and made local on the 8s every hour instead of every 10 minutes.
If you cant tell, ive been dying to share this information with someone lmao, if you have any questions regarding TWC i probably can answer them
Absolutely nailed it. I can just hear some robotic voice saying "Your local doppler radar." This for sure sounds like old local on the 8's music. I used to love listening to weatherscan music as a kid
Im so damn late to every vid I wanna cry- but this is actually fire, please keep burning my house down with this music
i am so obsessed with weather channel music this might just get me to try and make music again
When you're on the phone with the pharmacy and the robocall tells you to wait for the doctor to pick up
would love to see an album of this and all the tracks just merge with each other, like two 25-minute dreams
Ngl the idea for weather channel music is THE BOMB you should go for it!!
Thank you :)
I'll use this to make an old fake weather report for my ARG
Dude, you need to make an album of this kinda stuff! It's the perfect easy listening music~ Fantastic work getting the vibes right!
This is absolutely crazy!! Both you and your dad played rlly well!!! I can't wait to hear what you make next!
Can't wait to follow along on bandlab!
bandlab is goated
Bandlab squad for the win 🤝
THOSE CHORDS ARE HEAVENLYYYY
Vaporwave is my favorite genre and will always be. I didn't grow up when the Local on the 8s segment was as its peak musically (born in 05). However, I do remember a vibe like that between the late 2000s and early 2010s.
OMG, I love this. I totally used to love that music. You fooled my significant other, who came into the room and said, "Why are you watching the Weather Channel?"
This is the first song in years that actually made me cry. I haven’t really watched a lot of the weather channel when I was younger but instead what did reminded me of my entire childhood, mainly good times that I really miss. I don’t know why I did that but this song is fucking awesome. This is exactly why I like synth songs
wow.. Thank you so much!
@@frizkmusic no problem man your music is fucking good
@@frizkmusicYeah you make really good bangers but they sometimes feel empty...
WELL TIME TO SPAM CHORDS AND SYNTHS
I vividly remember the morning weather channel music. My dad would be buttoning his shirt up as I sat there, eyes glued to the screen seeing what sort of weather we're in for.
I love weather channel music, it shows how the philosophyphy of vaporwave makes it truly calm and relaxing.
I remember randomly putting on the weather channel something like 7 years ago and being amazed at how good the music was. Awesome tutorial. Also reminds me of how simple it is to make good sounding music if you just start off with a good simple beat and bass line. Then all you need to do is add some simple melodies on top and you're there.
I stumbled across this video randomly. I don't know anything about music or the Weather Channel (I'm from the UK) but this music still gave me nostalgia of 90s presenter-less TV. I would love to hear a whole album like this for sure!
This is fantastic! I always loved old weather channel music. It made me recall how the song "Mother's Talk" by Tears For Fears always gave me the feeling of a sinister dark weather channel music sound, so I've always loved that song.
Thanks dude, this is sick! I used this tutorial for my own weather channel-type song, one of my friends is doing the visuals!
The bass and sax really complete it, and the synths are perfect
The news nears me still does this style of weather channel inserts; though i remembered only seeing it leaving work at 5:30am
Thinking about it, they probably did that when the live broadcast was finished
frizk dad for dad of the year
Glad that I'm not the only one who likes music from weather channels - that specific feel is very nostalgic.
That's great! I remember recording music clips while they ran "your local forecast" segments. Of course there were vocals over the music. Currently..It's 67 degrees with partly cloudy skies, etc. Some of the music was awesome.
I love this type of stuff. It's nostalgia for a place that doesn't exist. I think that Windows 96 encapsulates the vibe perfectly.
Theres always this calm feeling to these type of songs, and thats what I like about that :]
WE ARE MAKING OUT OF THE TV WITH THIS ONE GUY🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
OMG! You're killin' me! I actually LOVE this music and have Watercolors on Sirius XM on all the time. Jusf subscribed. I really appreciate this stuff, man!
Right now I am into the weather. I got like a weather radar, a weather radio. You should get one if you like weather keeps you track of the weather and it uses satellite imaging So that's why it's very accurate. Okay, love your music All my Fellas
omg eww boykisser yucky (:3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3)
THE WAY YOUR DAD PLAYED THAT SAXAPHONE MAN
Oh hell yeah man. I'm with you 100%. As someone who loved Weather Channel as a kid in the early 2000s, the music was amazing. Forgot about it for a while, but remembered it when I started listening to vaporwave in 2020 I know, I was mad late to the party) and I heard the samples of familiar songs. And I got to looking up the original songs on twcclassics, discovering just how damn good the music was even before my time in the 80s and early 90s. Now, I've been making compilations of the Weather Channel music by year and have been so inspired to make my own Weather Channel type music. It has caused me to be obsessed with The Rippingtons (one of the more prominent artists that were featured on TWC throughout the years), and I mean obsessed with them. I've also come to realize I'm far from the only one who is nostalgic for classic Weather Channel. They always teased us and said it was boring, but now we all miss it
Can i just say, you are the best salesman i have come across in years. I want this now.
WE GOING BACK TO THE 70S WITH THIS!
please release this as an acrual song/music. ill listen to it all frickin day
i’ve never liked a video so fast before in my life. this genre is so niche i often feel like i’m the only one who likes it/attempts to make it. incredible work!
The Sax work is simply delicious ❤
Remind me of DIF JUZ which is one of my favorites bands.
Working on my second Vaporwave project and your weather channel music is SO GOOD
Dude, i loved the weather channel music from like 2008 to 2010. Used to get stoned with my dad and watch it before school.
It's just so wholesome you have this bond with your dad, I hope me and my future son can make stuff like this
First time I ever heard The Weather Channel was 1987, I was 9/10 at that time. It helped me appreciate jazz a lot then Nintendo games completed that for me. This is very good.
This is great man, I like how you called out those influences in the middle and I'm really into Lush Crayon, FM Skyline and Saint Pepsi but those others are new to me. Thank you so much for sharing your music and blasting it at the end for us. Vaporwave will never die with you carrying the torch!
As a weather enthusiast who’s also a music producer this gave me both nostalgia and inspiration :)
The bite of 87 reference threw me lmao awesome sounding track too! Nice work.
PLEASE MAKE IT INTO AN ALBUM!!!!1!!1! this would help me focus on my homework and not get distracted
Back in the 90s, the Prevue Channel had the same kind of vibes with their music. I'd always zone out while watching the scrolling channel listings on the bottom
omg! weather channel vaporwave! at the time when I thought I have heard about every single genre on earth there's still an opportunity to be amazed
Watched this video when it was released, found it super cool, noticed you were the guy who made that popular song, got re-recommanded the video where you talk about it, and now i'm just listening to your whole discography on YT. Amazing groove you got there.
a full album of this sound would be a gift from the heavens
You got a new subscriber right here. I randomly was thinking about the old Weather Channel music the other day and lo and behold, this pops up on my recommended. Love your excitement for creation and cant wait to check out more of your vids! Cheers from TX!
I was going to nitpick at the beginning about the Seinfeld slap bass since that was actually a keyboard with effects…then I listened to the whole thing. You, Sir, are a genius and nailed it.
All of your descriptions for the instruments are bang on haha. Love the video!
the "liminal spaces" thing is so weird and cool. that it is a shared thing. When i was a kid I used to imagine being in my local mall or the Renaissance Center afterhours, with smooth jazz playing over the PA system, no one else there and I would just walk around with most of the lights out and moonlight coming in through the sky lights. I never talked about it with anyone else and then these days that concept is common to see. It's just a common fantasy??? whyyyyy? I love it though, makes it even more surreal and magical that so many people felt that way.
p.s. I also loved the weather channel music. the smooth jazz station in Detroit was V98.7
Oh I’d also like to note, it’s sad to see genres dying off that has a special place in my heart. Classic rock, synth wave and that old style lo-go and I mean OLD style like that stuff from the 90s
Just fading away, very slowly
Growing up I thought I’d be picking up a new album from each artist in each genre every single year forever
But then I grew up, I became an adult and I learned very sadly that life isn’t the only thing that fades away. Living things aren’t the only things that die.
Unfortunately this is part of the reason I’ve also discovered that peoples will and passion also die.
It’s depressing. It’s sad. And it really pushes the envelope on the idea that humanity is entering a corporate age. I’d say the time I was born (the 90s) was the true age of freedom and creativity, now we’re headed into the age of automation and monotony.
I actually laughed out loud at 2:15. Great work dude. Instant subscribe.
those plucks are so satisfying to hear, you did an awesome job with this :)
I agree
You absolutely nailed the feel of the TWC music!
you REALLY got the vibe perfectly. honestly the only thing i would add if this was my track would be some eq and other distortion trickery to make it muffled (so it really gets that 80s tv and vaporwave sound)
Weather channel is its own genre! I remember the wii had a channel, the wavy stings is what defines that feel!!
AlL My FEllaS waTchINg FRisK
Great work! Truly sounds like the Weather Channel of old. Or a really, really good infomercial. :D
WE ESCAPING THE UA-cam ALGORITHM WITH THIS ONE❤🗣🗣🗣🗣
I Love this! I would love an album
I love this! You should release this song as its own video. I am a big Weather Channel music fan!
You've got a bunch of very ancient sounds there. JP packs and the D20 are so awsome.
OH MY GOD THIS IS SO SIMPLE AND YET SO AMAZING
Love how your music always just slaps
