What is the Secret Sauce? How do you give a piece of music that extra something that really lifts it? One answer is using countermelodies, those little melodic phrases that weave around the main theme. In this tutorial composer Guy Michelmore will explain what they are and how you write them using the Berlin Free Orchestra. Whether you write songs or film scores, electronic music or symphonies - this is a technique you have to master.
Then…it’s your turn. Download the MinusONE exercise and try it for yourself!
At ThinkSpace we use MinusONE exercises all the time in our courses to give students a quick and effective way of applying a new skill. In this case we give you the main theme and accompaniment as a wav file and you drop it into your DAW and add the countermelody. It’s that simple.
