Notes – Can you name the notes on a piano?.What Is A Chord?īefore we get started, make sure you’re familiar with the following concepts: subtle wind like elements, heavy but damp reverb that won’t swallow stuff on certain elements) can very well work if the visual image interlock in the right way to create the overall emotional picture.Want to master the theory and arrangement framework behind unique and memorable music?

Had to rise an eyebrow at the image of having…this video and then the cheesiest artificially-sad tune ever possible to remember the dead-too-soon ones? Well, try to give them dignity and respect also. If you are gifted with a little spontaneous creativity of your own & enough experience in tracking from driving your own styles in other categories of music, this might work out alright, and even without the result being even close to a rip-off of your model songs. From material you already got, or sample cds or whatever. Then put everything into that strange blender in your head, push the start button, forget about the exact originals, and nail down your own custom spiced version of it “by ear”. Watch for parts, sounds, and atmospheres that seem to fit. My Idea would be: just listen to a shitload of good songs that are roughly into the direction of style you’re looking for. song in minor will sound like a kindergarden version of trying to be as sad as a silly cartoon for 3-year-olds can get. Yeah, then forget about trying to learn the music theory in 2 weeks, it won’t work out. That way you don’t have to play a whole melody at once but can focus on small parts of it.ĭo you like doing stuff by ear? Or from creative imagination? And are on a tight deadline? Then go over your recording and start again by adding another layer of added melody bits filling in the gaps, repeat that till you’re happy with the result. If you’re not so good at playing your melody live, try locking the scale in Renoise and just jam away and try to find some main chords for a start, leave gaps inbetween.
Here is also another kind of short minimalistic piano piece with a very personal background. The title “Last Path To Immortality” basically means the last struggle to the point of being remembered by your family, friends and so on. I did this piece when my stepfather died a bit over a year ago and i found out my mother is very ill. I would add maybe, try to stay minimal with instruments, it often works better than a fully loaded song, unless you have vocals to support it. I second this, the best advice you can get for such kinds of music. The most moving sad music imo is the music transporting authentic sadness instead of music theory. And then compose, arrange, produce with your heart and listen with your soul. Get into the mood, try to pick up the feelings related to the situation. Try to get your mind into the situation you’re going to melodize. My advice: forget about f*cking music theory.
