When you start a song with a pickup measure or anacrusis this automatically propels the energy forward. This also works very well with melodies that do not start on a heavy beat. And there are countless good examples in practically any genre or from any time.
In this very short video I show how this technique can be used to create even more interest by making your audience believe that what they are hearing is the down beat. But when the other instruments come in... that's when the surprise happens.
I tried to make this video as compact and short as possible!
