How To Write Music - Scoring Step By Step

Oh my goodness wow! 😂 I have started so many pieces of music and been unable to finish them getting exhausted mentally after part one/intro. This is fascinating to watch the process of Guy writing. He just keeps moving! My brain has so many meltdowns it’s frustrating. This has taught me that knowing your library of sounds, how to do things technically and music are like a holy trinity. I think I just need more hours put into it. Will definitely consider the course! Thanks Guy 🙏🏻 You must be unlocking so much talent in the world ❤

Complete nonsense!

Great work!

why

I love this. I haven't yet scored for anything but the music I create and release follows this flow therefore a lot of my music is "cinematic".
Thank you for your brilliant content which inspires me to keep creating and I want to point out how much I admire your playful attitude 🎉😊

Can you demonstrate how to create a realistic portamento with a string sound? Really beautiful music in this…I like the high violins in this and the bass piano chords against the right hand notes are so Lush! ❤

Haha..the bassoon! My sis won the semifinals of the BBC young Musician of the year on her bassoon on in the year Freddy kempf won with his Rachmaninov…who said the bassoon wasn’t anything more than just an orchestral instrument…love the bassoon!! It’s just such a beautiful instrument!

Personal fun fact. Whenever I tried to give a first draft of an orchestral score to a filmmaker as an option the first thing I mostly hear is: "Beautiful, but there is too much movement, too many notes, it's too John Williams - skilled and pretty but . . . "
And there goes all the work and love into a grind away your darlings moment 😂🎉😂🎉

Amazing video from a real songwriter who have a funny personality.

⚘🏅👍❤

click click click whinge click click click click. How the hell did this end up autoplaying?

wow i didn't hear anything horrible when you said "that was horrible".

If I recall correctly , you wrote theme tunes for the BBC and are the son of Cliff Michelmore?

Wow that was powerful!

Guy - thank you for this video. I had a question - when you are playing a triad on the violins, is that basically having the string section all playing a triple stop?

The presentation and showing the process as it happens are pretty good. Much better than the music actually... maybe you can get away with more when its in the background to a film or episode. It seems pretty much every score composer is prone to cheese, even James Newton Howard himself. What Im most aware of when composing myself is avoiding as much as I can that has been done a lot before, and maintaining tension, while still having somewhere to go next.

Musical genius, enough said!

Wow i love this man
