“Don’t worry about playing a lot of notes. Just find one pretty one.”

Schooled painter here, if you put more and more paint on, the "white" of the prepared canvas doesn't shine through anymore, less paint is more "air" and results in a fresher picture. This is especially true for oils, which is a bit like "painting with stained glass".

"Do less, better" is the exact epiphany I had recently. I've been frustrating myself by throwing so much into a beat and having nothing sound good together, instead of honing in on every single aspect and giving it the attention it deserves.

Joe Hisaishi (Spirited Away & other Ghibli films ) can make your heart melt with like 3 well placed chords - proof that master composers don't need to shred to create a masterpiece. Fantastic piano playing in this vid btw!

It's so funny that I often forget that sometimes that I need to sit back and let ideas develop and evolve when it comes to my music writing even though I know that it's something that I actively actively doing my other artistic mediums like story writing.

I love the score to ‘Moon’ by Clint Mansell for this very reason. A simple recurring piano motif underscored with dissonant sound design. It conveyed very effectively and efficiently the underlying eerieness of what was unfolding.

I feel that what melodies and notes the music implies is often just as important as the actual notes are there. How often have you listened to a song, and sung along to the melody, and just completely ad-libbed something else that fits with it? That's an implied melody... and that's where composition and arrangment gets really interesting for me.

Magnificent video. Your composition and playing backs it up. Thank you for saving me from watching yet another video about a synth I don’t need.

That piano piece was fabulous. I could listen to it for hours, and most definitely will! Great video, I really like this new direction the channel is going for.

I am so grateful that I have found a Youtube channel with content that I am highly confident from my understanding for example of watching my son struggle to create his music career; is relevant and valuable to the viewer who is me.

more videos like this please!

Very well said! I agree 100%.

These videos of yours are a god-send for composers/music producers!

Wow! How great that I just found your wonderful channel! I´m a painting artist who is singing and just starting to work on my own songs again that I wrote as a teen long time ago. I can assure everyone that what you are saying in this video about composition in MUSIC is absolutely the same as I experienced in VISUAL art (and I´m a "real" painter on canvas - not using AI but human intelligence - lol). Composing a memorable painting is so much more than just applying rules. - I´m excited to learn as much as I can from you to make my (simple anyway) songs as strong as possible. I know it takes work and I love it! Thank you so much for your free lessons. I will remember you and give credit when I publish music in future. Best wishes from Austria!

Thanks for these wise words. I've seen/heard some super successful producers have incredibly complex sound design and arrangements. I've also the most ridiculously simple melodies and arrangements do just as well. Not sure there is a rule either way. I think you hit the nail on the head with emotion. If the song creates emotion, it will stick. Your track may be either simple or complex and not moving the crowd. So get to adding or trimming! There is no golden formula; however, when YOU find the formula that works for YOU....stick with it! Create the templates, tool boxes, and go-to sounds; and start churning em out!

This is why I listen to John Barry. Seemingly simplistic, but very moving emotional scores with melodies so memorable. His scores are what got me into composing since 2018.
Thank you for this video.

@JamesonNathanJames you are a real gem. Thanks for this live stream and for sharing the project. And 35 is YOUNG trust me. When I was 35 I could not have imagined how it would feel for a granddaughter to give me a new name. You have so much ahead!

Absolutely everything in life is pointing me to be more minimal in my music — something I’ve already come to terms with in my art when I realised and accepted most sketches look better “unfinished”. When I’m playing alone I can happily play a monophonic or duophonic melody, especially in a wind instrument. But when it comes time to record it… my maximalism kicks in. I guess I can’t willpower myself out of that — only through practice can it be overcome.

"Once we give ourselves permission to struggle, we can have the patience with ourselves that we need to truly develop an idea and take it to the next level" -- SO true, not only for creative pursuits, but for so much of life as a whole.
