Melody (RE) Established

Gh0stwrit3r · March 26, 2020

If you’re a composer just like me having some difficulties now and then to develop a simple melody or theme into a full cinematic orchestral music track, then this video can be really helpful to you.

Don’t forget to hit that like button if you appreciate this video. Also sub to my channel for my music and videos about how to write orchestral music for film.

From two melody lines to a full cinematic track

I’m going to take you to the raw composition, the midi-mockup of Valse Mystique. One of my original music tracks.

In Logic Pro X I’ll show you how I re-established two melody lines over and over again. With an end result of a full cinematic orchestral music track of more than 3 minutes long.

When you break down this composition in melody, harmony, rhythm and textures, you’ll see that only a couple of orchestral instruments play the melody lines. By introducing a new instrument each time, a new colour, you keep the listener attention.

All the other instruments of the orchestra are used for the harmony, rhythmic parts and textures. Leaving enough colours and tones for diversity and creativity in your composition.

So if you have the ambition to write this kind of music tracks, this video can give you some ideas, tips and tricks to grow your skills.

    […] This is all about printing in the main motif of the music track. I talked about it many times in my videos. We humans are seeking patterns. It’s in our nature. Patterns give us comfort. They help us […]
