I get a lot of questions about how to enhance your creativity and inspiration for writing music. How I come up with the melodies, the chord progressions, the music that I compose. I understand these questions, but I don’t have a “one fit all” answer to that. There are many ways to achieve this.
In this orchestral sketch I want to show you an approach that is ridiculous. But yet can be very effective to get you on your way! I think this one is really awesome! So keep with me during the steps, cause I take you to a part of my brain that drives the nerd in me.
And for all who can’t or have difficulty with reading music notes, I’m going to show it to you in MIDI too!
- 00:00 - Introduction (boost creativity and inspiration)
- 01:26 - First Listening (piano line and Orchestrated version)
- 02:13 - The approach (use the name David for composing rules)
- 03:43 - Cantus Firmus (the piano line I started with)
- 04:24 - Harmony (a simple chord progression can do the job nicely)
- 05:43 - Melody (only 20 notes left to write a descent melody)
- 09:08 - Orchestration (the symphonic version I ended up with)
