00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,800
Welcome to the course a 
practical guys to music 

2
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,300
expression. 
My name is Pedro. 

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,000
I am a composer for media and 
guitarist. 

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,800
And with this course, I wish to 
provide you with insights and 

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,700
some tools based on practical 
examples that will enable you to

6
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:31,200
unlock your creative potential 
in music. 

7
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:37,100
Whether you are starting out to 
see my bro, musician or an 

8
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:40,200
Enthusiast. 
This course was made to help you

9
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,600
overcome. 
The difficulties of implementing

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,100
your musical ideas in a way, 
that actually expresses your 

11
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:49,200
intense without being dominated 
by the music. 

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,500
And instead you dominate the 
flow of musical events. 

13
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:55,900
You are creating in, whatever. 
Genre, you are composing. 

14
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:03,100
He's course will also help you 
to get fast the blank page 

15
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:07,100
block, how to plan your musical 
composition, and how to use your

16
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:10,200
current knowledge of Music 
Theory, without losing your 

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,200
musical, Instinct in the process
and also to have fun making 

18
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:22,200
music Any of this resonates with
you, then this is a good place 

19
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,000
to start the journey to find 
your own voice in your 

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,500
Creations. 
The focus of this course is not 

21
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:31,200
in music theory, since this is 
not its purpose. 

22
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:34,500
And also because I assume that 
you already have a basic 

23
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:37,600
knowledge of things like scales 
or chords. 

24
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:40,500
Instead. 
We will be looking on focusing 

25
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:42,900
more on how you can use. 
Contexts. 

26
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:46,100
Images ideas emotions to give us
a hint. 

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,200
It's on how he can use the 
various musical elements to 

28
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,000
express ourselves in our music 
compositions. 

29
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,300
It is expected that you use. 
What is discussed in this course

30
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:59,400
and apply it in a project that 
will be proposed to you. 

31
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:05,600
My goal is that, by the end of 
this course, you will be able to

32
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,500
express yourself through music 
and hopefully you will be able 

33
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:12,100
to use this information as 
guidelines. 

34
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:16,100
So you can experiment and 
develop your own ideas thoughts.

35
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,200
All senses workflow, expand your
knowledge and be the musician. 

36
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:38,400
You want to be? 
Conveying emotions and 

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,700
experiencing emotions, largely 
depends on social and cultural 

38
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:45,300
aspects. 
And that said you should be 

39
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:47,200
aware of the emotional 
qualities. 

40
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,200
You perceive when you listen to 
certain sounds chords rhythms 

41
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,600
Melodies, so you can translate 
that into your music, the 

42
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,300
manipulation of musical elements
in order to convey emotions 

43
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:02,600
comes as far as from the 
Renaissance period musical 

44
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,400
practices, which in turn comes 
from the ancient Greeks idea. 

45
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,500
About the symbiosis of oratory 
and music and how one should 

46
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:14,300
influence the other. 
For instance, in Renaissance, 

47
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:17,700
certain instruments would be 
used to depict contexts or 

48
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:22,300
Associated to certain 
characters, fast tempo, agitated

49
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:26,600
basis and frequent, modulations 
were commonly used to express 

50
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:32,000
anguish excitement, terrorism or
rage and ascending melodic lines

51
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,300
in minor tonalities would be 
used to depict suffering. 

52
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,300
This way of thinking, and ways 
to use the musical elements has 

53
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:44,800
influenced modern music too. 
So all that said, everything 

54
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,500
Counts from the way you sing The
Sounds, you choose the way you 

55
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:51,800
play your instrument, the 
chords, the melodic lines and 

56
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,000
motives scales rhythmic approach
and so on. 

57
00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:59,100
Well, then taking all this in 
consideration should get your 

58
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:03,000
creative juices started. 
And now let's make a quick 

59
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,800
overview of the musical 
elements. 

60
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,500
So we are all on the same page. 
Bitch, that is how high or low 

61
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:13,400
we perceive a sound which can be
organized in patterns or 

62
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,899
succession of sounds or notes. 
This is the category of Harmony 

63
00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:49,300
cards and scales or melodies. 
Rhythm is the time element of 

64
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:52,200
music. 
It is related to the duration of

65
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,200
sounds and to a given rhythmic 
pattern in time. 

66
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Usually, we hear these in 
relation to a steady pulse and 

67
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,700
mentally organize this pulse or 
Tempo into m. 

68
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,500
Pitch and Rhythm are actually 
closely related either because 

69
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:34,100
of the words we use to make up 
the melodic line that depending 

70
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,200
on the way. 
We sing it, have a rhythmic 

71
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,200
Cadence to it. 
Or if it's instrumental music. 

72
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,200
We use the Rhythm to give a 
sense of flow to the melodic 

73
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,700
lines and motives don't color or
tomber refers to the quality of 

74
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:50,400
the sounds. 
We hear making it possible for 

75
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,700
us to distinguish between a 
trumpet and the clarinet. 

76
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:56,300
For instance, this property also
helps. 

77
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:01,500
To create Variety in our music 
and as said, we can use Tumblr 

78
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:04,800
as a way to evoke certain 
atmospheres or associate a 

79
00:06:04,808 --> 00:06:09,600
specific instrument to a 
character or situation to give 

80
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,300
you an idea about how important 
Tony's. 

81
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,800
Let me show you the impact of 
the choices you make, regarding 

82
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,000
the instruments, you are going 
to use in your compositions as 

83
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,500
it can help. 
You achieve that dramatic effect

84
00:06:21,500 --> 00:07:18,600
you have in your mind. 
and now, See if you can identify

85
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,900
all the instruments in this next
example. 

86
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:53,600
Dynamics refers to how loud or 
soft a sound can be. 

87
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:18,900
Form is also one of the elements
of music and although it is not 

88
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:22,400
related to the production of 
sound /, say it is a very 

89
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,400
important aspect of the 
storytelling side of music. 

90
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,500
It is how we organize or 
arrange, our musical ideas into 

91
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:33,500
sections that may or may not be 
repeated throughout the music. 

92
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,900
And finally texture is how the 
melodic rhythmic and harmonic 

93
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:41,700
materials are combined in a 
musical piece. 

94
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,600
Basically texture can be sparse.
More advanced depending on how 

95
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,000
many voices or instruments are 
playing as a way of showing how 

96
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,600
influential and evocative the 
musical elements can be to one 

97
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,000
another. 
You will be hearing a first 

98
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,700
example with drums bass Rhythm 
and solo guitar. 

99
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,800
The following example is 
derivative, meaning that I took 

100
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,600
one of the elements of the First
music piece and built the second

101
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,600
piece of music around it. 
In this case. 

102
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:42,400
It was the drums. 
I took the same basic Rhythm and

103
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,400
just change the tempo, making it
faster automatically. 

104
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,800
It suggested a completely 
different musical idea and 

105
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,300
around it. 
I compose the different bass and

106
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:56,000
guitar Groove and at some point.
I also started hearing a brass 

107
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:20,800
section that I also added. 
Okay, so far, everything sounds 

108
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,000
like cooking adding ingredients 
and whatnot, but it's not like, 

109
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,300
we are so far from the truth. 
If you consider the ingredients,

110
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:31,400
to be the musical elements, and 
the way you combine them 

111
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:35,500
triggers, different moods or 
responses to your music in the 

112
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:38,200
following video. 
I will be presenting ways of how

113
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,500
the musical elements can be 
worked into your music by 

114
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:45,000
associating them to Extra. 
Musical, Concepts ideas, 

115
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,700
emotions and enabling you to 
better, express yourself through

116
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:50,600
music. 
Talk to you there. 

117
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,800
In these couple of videos, I'll 
be presenting you with two case 

118
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,200
studies one in each video. 
But first we must have a message

119
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,500
to convey an idea or feeling. 
If you have a clear idea about 

120
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:09,000
what you want to say. 
It is already a way of 

121
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,200
eliminating, the blank page 
block and get you started. 

122
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:17,000
One thing is to know about the 
musical Theory and another is 

123
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,600
figuring out a way to use it 
without getting too Technical 

124
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,500
and allowing your instincts and 
knowledge to kick in when 

125
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:25,900
needed. 
Oddly enough. 

126
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,400
The first thing you need to do 
in order to get your creativity 

127
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,400
going is to somehow impose some 
rules. 

128
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,300
This doesn't mean you will be 
restricted. 

129
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:39,900
In fact, you will be eliminating
that feeling of I can do so much

130
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:42,600
in anything. 
I want that I can't make up my 

131
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,900
mind. 
What to do. 

132
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,100
As soon as you have, imposed 
some limits, meaning you have 

133
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:51,700
chosen a topic to talk about it 
is time to unleash your 

134
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:54,000
creativity. 
As an example. 

135
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:58,400
We will be considering apathy 
and almost leaving kind of state

136
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,000
where you just perform your 
routine tasks day after day 

137
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,800
without much thought, while 
bearing the feeling of emptiness

138
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,400
to Aid, our thought 
organization. 

139
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,600
We will be considering three 
variables that will help us 

140
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,800
build a possible story. 
We for our music composition, 

141
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,400
looking at the acronym psycho 
neb. 

142
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:21,500
These variables are psychologic 
context. 

143
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:25,200
And ambient. 
Our goal will be to associate 

144
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,700
our ideas to these variables, 
which could turn out something 

145
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:33,500
like this, apathy, Conformity, 
sameness and emptiness. 

146
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,000
Go to the psychologic field. 
Getting up every day for work 

147
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,700
and happy with this way of 
living finding strength to carry

148
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:44,900
on and change. 
All in ourselves tries to reach 

149
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:48,500
out because we don't want a 
bleak future for our character. 

150
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,700
All these belong to the context.
And finally working in the big 

151
00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:57,600
city, a jungle of concrete, 
sounds of traffic horns. 

152
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,600
People talking go to the ambient
section. 

153
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:05,100
I'm not going to get too much 
into it as we already have more 

154
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:07,500
than enough to illustrate what 
we want. 

155
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,200
And now this is where the music 
comes in. 

156
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:12,900
Everything that was written will
be. 

157
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,500
Considered as a potential extra 
musical cue our job will be to 

158
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:21,200
associate them to musical 
elements and translate those 

159
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,300
into music. 
And I will guide you through 

160
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:26,300
this process. 
Let's put our creative minds to 

161
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:29,600
work. 
This is how I chose to use music

162
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,200
theory and Associate it to extra
musical cues to depict the sense

163
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,400
of emptiness. 
I used space chord voicings in 

164
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,500
fourths and fifths or a sense of
coldness Detachment and 

165
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:45,700
vagueness played by the I know 
and also complemented by a drone

166
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:49,000
sound harmonically. 
All these are based in the root 

167
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,200
of C, since this example, tends 
to the representation of an 

168
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,200
inner struggle representing, the
core of the individual, I chose 

169
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,500
to relate the harmonic changes 
as much as possible to The 

170
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:03,300
Chosen route Note opting by 
using it. 

171
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:06,000
As a pedal, note throughout the 
harmonic changes. 

172
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:09,900
This also helps to convey the 
monotony and dullness. 

173
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:38,100
For sameness working in day's 
passing by, I use repetitive 

174
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:42,900
melodic and rhythmic patterns, 
or ostinatos chord changes with 

175
00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:46,300
little voice movement. 
And also use the drums that 

176
00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:50,400
despite its somewhat jagd 
Rhythm, it transmits a sense of 

177
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,400
continuity, mainly because of 
the symbols work. 

178
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:19,500
To depict confusion traffic, and
people's voices. 

179
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,000
I used contrasting cords from 
different tonalities. 

180
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,300
That swirl around our head, as 
if they were everywhere, these 

181
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:31,100
cords still maintain the same 
vagueness and for that, I used 

182
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:51,400
suspended chords. 
And finally, for the inner self,

183
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,900
reaching out or forcing and 
suggesting changes. 

184
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,200
I used the diminished Scale 
based in C representing his 

185
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,800
condition as a passive person. 
In contrast with chrome. 

186
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:06,600
Static movement from inner 
voice, struggling to reach out 

187
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,800
for this. 
I change the route or the center

188
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,300
to F minor harmonic scale, the 
dissonance represents the 

189
00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:17,900
struggle to be heard and 
meanwhile, it is also the reason

190
00:16:17,900 --> 00:16:22,000
why the bass and drums are at a 
lower volume in this section as 

191
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,700
if it was trying to overpower 
the apathy. 

192
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,500
Now that you listen to all the 
examples. 

193
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:48,400
Let me show you how this sounds 
when put together. 

194
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:11,700
Although this is what I came up 
with, depending on your personal

195
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:14,300
style. 
You will get a different result.

196
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,500
It will all depend on the way 
you manipulate the musical 

197
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:19,800
elements. 
For instance. 

198
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:23,500
I use Timbre to choose the 
instruments that will help me to

199
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:27,100
convey the message. 
I intended Associated them with 

200
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:30,600
ideas traits of our character or
its inner self. 

201
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,500
In this case. 
The inner self was represented 

202
00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:37,900
by strings as for the rhythmic 
approach played by the drums. 

203
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,000
It was chosen for its 
contemporary Urban feel only by 

204
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,300
changing these two elements. 
You would get significantly 

205
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:49,300
different results. 
I will now show you a second 

206
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:52,700
example to illustrate. 
What I am suggesting, I 

207
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:56,200
purposefully chose other 
instruments to work with and had

208
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,200
a different rhythmic approach, 
which led me to a different 

209
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,900
approach on the overall 
Arrangement and style. 

210
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,300
The main ideas regarding chord 
changes and Melodies were 

211
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:09,900
maintained so it can still 
Relate to the main message. 

212
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:13,900
Here are the main changes for 
the repetitiveness. 

213
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:55,600
The vagueness. 
Traffic and voices for contrast.

214
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:30,700
And the inner self voice. 
And now here's the overall 

215
00:21:30,700 --> 00:23:40,700
result. 
Alaric could have been written 

216
00:23:40,700 --> 00:23:43,700
and then sung in order to 
reinforce the message. 

217
00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:47,600
You could even choose different 
ways of seeing the parts in a 

218
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,500
way that would best describe the
situation. 

219
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:53,200
For instance, in the inner self 
voice part. 

220
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,200
You could try to sound as if he 
were begging to be heard, almost

221
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,900
crying or even a cry or shout 
for attention. 

222
00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:04,900
It will all depend on your 
personal style or the next 

223
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:06,800
video. 
We will be looking at how you 

224
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,700
can work with images or 
graphics. 

225
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:13,500
Cues and still have the approach
suggested using the psycho named

226
00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:17,800
variables and Associated them to
extra musical cues using the 

227
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:25,900
musical elements. 
By now, you may already be 

228
00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:29,500
familiar rised with apps icon am
approach discussed in the last 

229
00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:31,900
video. 
So we will just dive right into 

230
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:35,900
the second case study. 
However, this time we will be 

231
00:24:35,900 --> 00:24:38,600
applying these variables based 
on an image. 

232
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:43,700
The first case study was based 
on how to depict Concepts ideas,

233
00:24:43,700 --> 00:24:48,400
or emotions in a musical way. 
The second case study is more 

234
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,400
based on specific events and 
movement or action that is in 

235
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,700
tandem with the story. 
Development. 

236
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,500
And without further Ado, here is
the image. 

237
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:03,100
We will be working with looking 
at the elements present in this 

238
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:05,700
image. 
I get this sense of adventure 

239
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:10,400
magic and fairy tales. 
The owl is a central figure and 

240
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,700
I consider it to be the hero 
that everyone is putting their. 

241
00:25:13,700 --> 00:25:17,400
Hope on, we have a dark Forest 
where our hero will find. 

242
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:22,000
All sorts of perils in ordeals. 
And after that, he would get to 

243
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,500
this clearing with the lake 
after escaping the woods and get

244
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:30,000
some do rest from there on our 
hero resumes, his quest and 

245
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,500
flies. 
The Majestic mountains as he 

246
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:35,900
watches the sunrise leading the 
way to the next set of 

247
00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:39,900
Adventures. 
And obviously this may suggest a

248
00:25:39,908 --> 00:25:43,300
different thing to you and that 
way you would end up doing 

249
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:46,000
different music based on your 
interpretations. 

250
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:50,300
In the first case study, the 
music structure was more of how 

251
00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:54,500
a song would work with an intro 
verse and a clearly defined 

252
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:57,300
Chorus for demonstration 
purposes. 

253
00:25:57,300 --> 00:26:00,600
I chose not to develop the whole
idea, but the parts are there. 

254
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:04,500
R, but this time, we will take a
different approach closer to 

255
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:06,700
what would happen in a symphonic
poem. 

256
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,000
Here. 
You won't have anything like a 

257
00:26:09,008 --> 00:26:12,900
modern song structure as the 
music follows the stories events

258
00:26:12,900 --> 00:26:17,000
as they unfold nevertheless. 
And as I will show you, you will

259
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,400
find some elements or motives 
that are repeated throughout the

260
00:26:20,408 --> 00:26:24,100
music. 
And now all that said, let us 

261
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:26,300
begin. 
Here are the apps icon M 

262
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:29,500
variables. 
Or the psychologic filled. 

263
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:34,500
Our hero is Relentless heroic 
Brave and also tense because 

264
00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:38,900
after all he is going to face 
many dangers for the context 

265
00:26:38,900 --> 00:26:41,800
field. 
You have fight through obstacles

266
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,100
in ordeals in the dark Forest 
escapes the woods and gets to a 

267
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:48,500
clearing with the lake after 
resting. 

268
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:53,100
He watches the sunrise and 
resumes his quest in the ambient

269
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:55,700
field. 
We have the Dark Forest itself 

270
00:26:55,700 --> 00:27:00,100
with its Twisted paths and trees
and darkness. 

271
00:27:00,700 --> 00:27:03,700
We have the lake and the 
Majestic mountains. 

272
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,700
Here's how I use the elements in
music theory, to give voice to 

273
00:27:07,700 --> 00:27:09,300
the message. 
I want to convey. 

274
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:13,700
As I generally approached. 
I used Woodwinds to represent 

275
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:17,900
our hero, although sometimes it 
is supported by strings gestures

276
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,300
and Brass will be in charge of 
representing enemies in danger. 

277
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,400
I also use the Celesta to imbue 
a certain sense of magic and 

278
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,500
mystery due to its dreamy 
quality of the Tambour. 

279
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,700
Also, in a general way, I made 
use of diminished scales 

280
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:38,500
material and the sonority of the
lydian mode because of the 

281
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:42,300
implied augmented fourth 
interval, its dissonant quality,

282
00:27:42,300 --> 00:27:45,000
and big witty. 
And as a way to represent, two 

283
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,000
distinct and opposing 
characters. 

284
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,700
In this first example, in order 
to symbolize the tension while 

285
00:27:51,700 --> 00:27:55,600
walking about in the woods, you 
will hear the strings executing,

286
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,100
a tremolo Harmony wise. 
It is all based on minor chords.

287
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,100
The Bases and Celli. 
Begin with the melody and major 

288
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:07,700
third apart, and then proceed 
throughout with a perfect fifth 

289
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:11,600
interval, which is a strong 
interval on its own and hints to

290
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,800
the brave quality of our hero. 
The fact that these intervals 

291
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,200
are used in such a low register,
it is because it helps to 

292
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,000
provide that sense of dense 
environment filled with tension.

293
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,400
Now, you will hear our Heroes 
theme executed in English horn 

294
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:56,800
and then supported by the first 
violins. 

295
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,000
The said, the melody is built 
over a Harmony based on monetary

296
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,700
course due to this dark and Grim
situation. 

297
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,800
You will also hear some muted 
brass because it stands for the 

298
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,700
danger or enemies lurking. 
And still hidden from sight. 

299
00:29:11,900 --> 00:29:16,000
I use contrasting dissonant 
chords and cluster brass effects

300
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,400
to enhance the disparity between
the heroes goals and There's, 

301
00:29:20,800 --> 00:30:00,700
which are total opposites. 
Alongside with the Heroes theme,

302
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,400
I use the woodwinds violence. 
Celeste in a complimentary way 

303
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,600
to symbolize our hero flying 
around in the woods while 

304
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,600
providing that sense of mystery 
and magic. 

305
00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:15,300
And right before the end, the 
ascending melodic gesture. 

306
00:30:15,300 --> 00:30:18,900
From the violence, represents 
the flight towards the imminent 

307
00:30:18,900 --> 00:30:45,500
battle. 
The tribal, like percussion sets

308
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:48,700
the tone for The Battle Before 
Our Hero, dives into it. 

309
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:04,100
Woodwinds and Brass are 
respectively, representing the 

310
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:07,800
antagonists and their distance 
related scales and tonalities. 

311
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,200
While interacting, the meter is 
also changing quite frequently 

312
00:31:12,300 --> 00:31:15,600
and the offbeat accents, made by
the strings represent. 

313
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,100
The erratic flying and 
unpredictability of the fighting

314
00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:23,000
in the dense Woods. 
In the end of this example, you 

315
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,300
will finally notice the strings 
playing a run and then the 

316
00:31:26,300 --> 00:31:30,600
melodic gesture that represents 
our hero flying away and Escape.

317
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:52,700
That dangerous situation. 
The melodic gesture from the 

318
00:31:52,700 --> 00:31:56,800
violins that you heard on the 
previous example is now fading. 

319
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:01,100
As our heroes is a clearing and 
the lake where he will rest in 

320
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:03,900
this section. 
You will only hear Woodwinds and

321
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Hurting strings in the high 
register. 

322
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:09,200
If you look at the image, you 
can see that there are 

323
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,100
reflections in the lake surface.
That is represented by the 

324
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:15,800
Chimes tree for its sparkling 
sound. 

325
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,100
And by the harp with its 
arpeggios in an attempt to 

326
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:23,000
illustrate the watery 
environment slowly, the harmony 

327
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,700
becomes less tense as the hero 
rests and recovers. 

328
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,900
This example and the next, Mark 
the reappearance of the main 

329
00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:07,200
theme and it's variations 
harmonically. 

330
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,500
The chords used are more stable 
or consonant representing Our 

331
00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:15,700
Heroes recovery, and thus the 
slower Kestrel build up. 

332
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,500
Here is the main theme again in 
the final section of our musical

333
00:33:39,500 --> 00:34:01,800
story. 
And finally, the strings are 

334
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,900
playing two complementary roles.
The low strings are setting the 

335
00:34:05,900 --> 00:34:10,000
pace with accents that give a 
sense of promptness to the next 

336
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,400
Adventures while the high 
strings. 

337
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,800
Are also adding momentum. 
Phantom by executing arpeggios 

338
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:31,699
throughout 
and that's it. 

339
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,000
The music ends in a high note, 
suggesting other Great 

340
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,900
Adventures for our hero. 
And now, here's the overall 

341
00:34:38,900 --> 00:37:08,000
result. 
At some point, you may want to 

342
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,400
focus on a specific area or 
aspect of the image and develop 

343
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,000
on that. 
For instance. 

344
00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:17,400
You could make a whole song 
about the perils encountered in 

345
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,800
the dark forest, or if it 
happens to be of great 

346
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,000
relevance. 
You may want to make a song just

347
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,400
about the sunrise. 
This is a way of showing you how

348
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,000
you could probably make a music 
album solely based on the 

349
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,200
elements found in the given 
image. 

350
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,800
What it evokes and then build on
that to make your story line. 

351
00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:40,100
Next, I will be doing a recap of
all that was discussed 

352
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:43,700
throughout these videos. 
Also, you will find guidelines 

353
00:37:43,700 --> 00:37:47,100
for a project assignment so you 
can put into practice your 

354
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:49,400
skills. 
Based on what you have learned 

355
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,700
by watching. 
This course. 

356
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,200
I will see you there.
