    Thanks a lot Michael for this great video, I really enjoyed it and would love to see more in detail videos like this one... I understand that you already have a course on Film scoring, consider releasing a course on film scoring harmonic and melodic techniques, I bet it will be a success ;-) Kind regards and many blessings, Max

    Is there a rule or guideline in using polytonality, which keys work together and which don't? The Williams piece, despite being in two keys at once, still sounds pleasant. What about, say, A minor over Bb minor?

    • @MaruniusComposer
      @MaruniusComposer 2 дні тому

      Very cool question, just like modes have certain color/moods, what polytonalities achieve what is an amazing idea to explore!

    Great teacher. Questions: What DAW do you use? Is it necessary you are keyboard player to compose well?

    • @whittymusic
      @whittymusic  11 місяців тому

      Thank you. I use Cubase currently. But all the major daws will work perfectly fine! My piano skills have played an important role in harmony and to score fast. However making midi mockups is a data entry job, and you don't need to be a virtuoso pianist to enter the notes in your daw. Understanding harmony and orchestration and most of all having your own voice/sound I thing is very important.

    Loots of buffer glitches coming from your DAW. May need bigger buffer.

      Yea for sure, when capturing this video with obs studio and my full template it caused glitching, fortunately I have resolved that issue

  • @citizenworld8094
    @citizenworld8094 Рік тому +1

    Do you think there is a move away from demanding orchestration and folk are now no longer interested in flourishes, advanced harmonic techniques, (pseudo atonality).... seems they want more simplistic language. Would like your view on current trends.

    • @whittymusic
      @whittymusic  Рік тому +3

      There has been for a while. That said there are still fantastic orchestral scores that use this harmony technique (which isn't complicated) but we have a younger generation of directors and producers who wrap their head around sophistication. Also composers are far less educated and often come out of the rock and pop production (4 chord diatonic) worlds.

    Why wouldn't you just show the score? I don't want to have to squint at your hands as you go through every individual instrument being like "this is what the bassoons are playing"

    It would be useful to ACTUALLY SEE A SCORE.
