This was the video that I was waiting for! Great information.
I think the most important think when we are arranging or orchestrating is Listening.
In my case, i try to hear all Disney music and try to find some sounds which make that Music different and magical.
It sounds like pokemon music
He’s saying that “lisnening” is the best way to learn but it’s not that easy to understand what instruments are played and how they are doubled… especially when you’re just starting out
Amazing collaboration! Loved both videos and loved the piece you wrote and the way Christopher orchestrated it! Thanks for this 🙂
REALLY loved this video! That composition is gorgeous 🙂
I can’t get over how real this sounds; not just the quality and execution of the samples, but the writing itself from the initial piano sketch really feels like it’s pulled straight from Disney or one of the video games you’ve showcased on the channel. Obviously, you’re an experienced composer so I shouldn’t underestimate your work, but I’m still very impressed.
The piano sheets seemed better in comparison. Not really thrilled with the orchestration and I used to work for Disney many eons ago
I really want players to enjoy playing their parts and take care to give everyone something that’s interesting and a chance to be skilful. My mantra is – no boring fill line.
Hey Ryan, I made an arrangement of the piece as well if you could check it out on my channel! Also, thanks for the content you put it has really helped me learn a ton
