Book recommendation for orchestration

 I recommend this book for orchestration :

The Orchestration Handbook: The Essential Guide to Every Instrument in the Orchestra (Reference) by Don B. Ray M. A.

The link to the book: https://www.amazon.com/Orchestration-Handbook-Essential-Instrument-Orchestra-ebook/dp/B00GQZPVKM/

Contemporary classical music in 2022

We live in a time when for several decades, dissonance is no longer a modern expression. Above all, the destruction of the tonal system is not to create modernity. We have already done almost everything in terms of researching musical possibilities. What remains now depends on the appearance of new technologies that do not necessarily have links to music. Of course, the adaptation or conversion of sound forms from one to another is very necessary. Not only musically but scientifically and then humanly.

On the other hand, as for composers, this is not necessarily interesting to continue our main research for music, not only for decades but since antiquity. It is to perfect our writing that gives the result of mastery of the musical language that we use in our compositions.

Production Tips - Analysis of Introduction - Part 1

Hi,

In this post, you can find my analysis of introduction part of the songs from Michael Jacks's 4 albums. 

Here's the list of albums:

Off the Wall (1979)
Thriller (1982)
Bad (1987)
Dangerous (1991)

I describe the events in the introduction part of each song on those albums. And I think it's good to have it to get inspired. Hope this would be helpful for the music producers.

Before putting the tables of analysis, I'd like to do some kind of conclusion about the types of introduction in Michael Jack's music. It could be interesting, even if his musics were made several decades ago because basically, the musical ideas stay same.

Here's the conclusion of my analysis of introduction :

1. Songs could start with a SFX

With the hit like foley or synth hits. Or abstract SFX with conversations and a passage of musics inside SFX, it could evoke theatrical (or cinematic) scenes.

2. Like a rock band

Counters work to begin the song, such as snare counter, hi-hat counter, etc.

3. Starting with the fills-in

Every instrumental family could do a fill-in. Guitar fill-in, Keyboard fill-in, Synth fill-in, String Ensemble fill-in, Brass Band fill-in, Vocal fill-in, etc. and particularly, we could use drum parts individually, like a Tom fill-in, Snare fill-in etc...

4. Chorus 0 at the beginning

We can start a song with the chorus part. Nowadays, many rap songs take that structure.

5. Heavy instrumental riff

Like traditional rock bands (it became), heavy instrumental riff in intro works very well.

6. Drum loops solo and percussion loops solo

Drum loops and percussion loops often take the very first part of the songs as a solo instrument even today.

Otherwise, at the time of his albums, the introductions were quite long. Of course, the length of tracks is incomparably longer than 2022's songs.

There's some interesting arrangement ideas from the introduction which are common with newer songs.

1. Sustain and drive

In some introductions, there's sustain drum beats and often when the verse 1 comes, it launches by changing the beat more driving. This about the speed.

2. Use of range

If there's no bass or no high range melody line at the first part of the introduction, because it prepares something fuller for the next section. Absence then fulfilling, that's the idea. This about the density (or maybe the perception).

3. Plus, today's idea

Today, there's an arrangement about the texture also by progressive filtering. At that time, I thought the fact that voice differed from the instruments was used as a new texture. Of course, this works all time and we are still digging it.

Voila, that's my conclusion. In the next part of this article, you'll find the tables of analysis.

Stay tuned for the coming articles about the music production.

The film The Banker (2020)

This film The Banker (2020) contains a strong message who shows the racism by politics. It shows that the politics based on racism are completely criminal, more than compromise to keep the differences. I highly recommend to watch this film The Banker to feel how insane the racism and for that we say "no" to the racism which still exists in our time.

혹시 저희가 뭐 받으려고 이런 사회고립 당하기로 했다고 일본이 거짓말하고 있는 것 인지요? 완전 새빨간 거짓말 입니다. 저희는 이런 사회고립에 동의한 적이 단 한번도 없으며 사전에 통보 없이 강제로 당해왔습니다. 일본이 심지어 한국내 가족들과 연락 두절 되게 저희 전화를 조작하여 연락이 안되게 해왔습니다. 아주 비인간적인 행위를 한 일본과 그의 동료들을 당장 잡아들여 벌주어야 합니다!

이런 황당한 경우가? 내가 내 국적 한국이고 한국에서 태어났다고 코멘트를 어머니 게시물에 남기려 했더니 페이스북에서 차단했다. 외할아버지께서 3일전에 돌아가셨다는 소식을 오늘 아침 이모가 남긴 코멘트를 보고 알게됨. 추석이라 4일전에 할아버지께 연락드렸는데 통화못함. 일본과 그의 관계자들이 지유억압, 인권침해, 사생활 침해 및 사회고립을 프랑스에서 여러해동안 나와 나의 어머니 내 동생에게 불법적으로 행해옴. 심지어는 할아버지랑 시간을 함께 보내지 못하게 몇 년 동안 아주 심하게 막고 (반인류적 범죄를 우리에게 일본과 그의 동료들이 행함) 마지막에 연락도 못하게 방해했다. 혹시 저희가 뭐 받으려고 이런 사회고립 당하기로 했다고 일본이 거짓말하고 있는 것 인지요? 완전 새빨간 거짓말 입니다. 저희는 이런 사회고립에 동의한 적이 단 한번도 없으며 사전에 통보 없이 강제로 당해왔습니다. 일본이 심지어 한국내 가족들과 연락 두절 되게 저희 전화를 조작하여 연락이 안되게 해왔습니다. 아주 비인간적인 행위를 한 일본과 그의 동료들을 당장 잡아들여 벌주어야 합니다!

Why is Facebook blocking my comment that explains my nationality on my mother's article? My grandfather in South Korea passed away 3 days ago but due to social blockages in France we were not informed. Only this morning my aunt informed us with a comment.

I strongly condemn such inhuman persecutors. We are innocent people and we haven't done anything wrong but they put social blocks on us and we haven't been able to spend time with my grandfather for the past few years and finally we couldn't even contact him yet we tried to contact him 4 days ago as it was national holiday in South Korea.

The example of social blocking and hacking: My mother has been living in France since March 4, 2000 with me and my brother. But since the great persecution came to us in France, we have noticed that the evildoers try to hide the fact that we live in France. The following video is a screenshot of my iPhone on which I found that my mother's locality is not displayed by a iPhone error such that we do not see her first and last name in the family shared menu , we can see that his name and surname are displayed correctly. In any case, my mother lives with me in France with my brother. May the persecution and social blockades on my mother, brother and I end immediately!

I have no connection with North Korea or Japan. I am not a hacker. I am not a spy. I was never informed about the persecution. I was forced to be persecuted! My mother and my brother who are in France with me and all my families in South Korea were also persecuted. The persecution was the complete waste of time! We were tied to the political calendar. I hate this total manipulation of our lives. I strongly condemn the social injustice that allows evildoers to persecute us. Apartment The evildoers give a lot of money to persecute us. It’s completely undemocratic! This is completely unacceptable! Today is September 22nd and it's been 6 years already! May the persecution and social blockades immediately cease on me and all my families!
