HEY THERE!!! Please make sure to comment on and like the video! It helps with exposure and lets me know you like the music I’m making. Thank you! For this I put more effort into the video than I normally do. You’re on YouTube so why not have something visually appealing to go with the music. This was my first attempt using Blender for a video and I’m going to start doing it more often. Originally just meant to be an exercise for arpeggios, this piece developed into one of my favorite compositions. This was inspired by tracks that had arpeggiated melodies, like Glasgow Kiss by John Petrucci, I’m Alright by Neil Zaza, and Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson. The first iteration was focused on two harmonizing lead guitar parts but sounded cluttered and lacked focus on the main melody, so I gave those parts to the violins and violas. I thought the main melody (“chorus” section labeled leitmotif) would sound great as a fanfare too but didn’t feel it was appropriate to have horns in just one section of the piece. The track kept evolving until it had a full symphony accompanying it (strings, brass, AND woodwind). The final result blends those elements in the back so some of the intricacies of those parts are lost in the mix, but this is a rock song and I’m enjoying experimenting with blending these different elements. The composition turned out great and is a lot of fun to play and I hope you enjoy it!
