Alright, so today I want to cover a mistake that is one of the most dangerous ones you can do in terms of making music. Not dangerous in the way that a dinosaur barging through your front door would be, but certainly a detrimental factor to the quality of your tracks. Now, I'm not going to have you read the entire article before I get to the point so let's jump right in. This problem is simply this: Adding too many elements.
You see, even the most beautifully written chord progressions, ostinatos, textures, counter melodies and melodies will sound like utter garbage if they are all thrown on top of another without carefully assessing the necessity of each layer.
I'm not saying you shouldn't TRY, because heck, it could lead to a breakthrough. But when it comes to the final print, be completely ruthless with what you end up keeping.
So when you are contemplating adding another layer in the final arrangement, ask yourself if what you have is already enough, or if there are tweaks you can make to the existing layers to make any new additions redundant.
Also, focusing on fewer layers will also force you to get better at the basics, like melody writing and voice leading, and harmony. Often we add more things than we need to mask these issues and avoid facing our flaws.
Hey! Thanks for reading my article. If you are interested in learning more about Cinematic Music, check out my course Cinematic Music I: From Idea To Finished Recording. It is a complete guide to mastering all the fundamental principles of composing, orchestrating, and producing modern cinematic tracks.
Are you confident in the basics of writing and arranging cinematic music, but feel stuck trying to unlock that next level of orchestration and production? Then this course is for you. I designed it to be a toolkit of intermediate and advanced principles and techniques that you can reference at any time.
Through over 11 hours of video material, spread across 42 different techniques, you will find a wide range of principles that can instantly be applied to take your tracks to the next level.
From making your melodies more memorable and turning one melody into a dozen different themes, to expanding your harmonic language with borrowed chords, chromatic mediant modulations and powerful voicings & inversions, to mastering the use of different modes or scales.
We'll explore how to create deeper and more textured orchestrations from scratch, runs and embellishments, orchestrating HUGE statements, lush and velvet-y textures a la Thomas Newman, and everything in between.
In this module you will find a couple of track breakdowns, as well as a masterclass covering a wide range of topics from harmony, to arranging, voicing, separation of elements, orchestration and production thoughts.
You can get started with very little! However, all of our courses require a computer and internet connection to access, and some software and/or hardware. For our Music courses, you'll need a DAW (like Ableton, Cubase, Logic, FL Studio or Studio One), and a computer powerful enough to handle these programs.
We have a very strict policy that we only want happy students. That's why we give you 21 days to try out all the courses, completely risk free. If for ANY reason you're not happy during this period, simply let us know and we'll give you every penny back, no questions asked. We're a platform by creatives for creatives, and if we can't provide tremendous value to you, we don't want your money.
As a part of the Evenant platform, you get access to private groups where you can get feedback on your music from other students and professional tutors, or ask questions about the industry etc. You can utilize our Discord as well where we are active on a daily basis.
