Theory isn't the problem, it's the people who treat it as "rules" rather than a mechanism for understanding. Had a few people over the years that were impossible to work with because they'd say "oh, you can't do that" every time we came up with something interesting.

When I first found your channel I subbed because it was kindof quirky and awkward which I thought was unique to you in the music space. But now I stay because you are genuinely my favorite YouTuber rn. Blending synthesis, modern production techniques, and music theory educations is no easy task I’m sure. Your personality is so down to earth and honestly, I browse through bumble every day hoping to meet someone like you.

Separating the theory, like what the shape sounds like, and how intervals interact, etc., from the code, which is the naming scheme of these things, is important.
The code, notes, staff, scale and chord names, though actually very concise, can seem confusing and pointless when learning it.
When you hear of a great artist that says they don't know theory, they are actually telling us they don't know the code. It is impossible to make music without some understanding of the actual theory. Simply recognizing the sound of a G7 to a Cmajor is an understanding of music theory, and the greats know these feelings well.

my best piece of advice for new composers who are freakin out over theory & what it means & how to use it to maximize your potential:
you already know music theory. youre surrounded by music 1000% of your life from the moment youre born to the moment you die. its in your brain. you know what sounds good cause youve heard it forever over & over again. you dont need names & complexities to make good or better music. you just need your ears.
music theory is less for people to WRITE music, & more for people to analyze music that is already written. theory is less about what should i do next, & more about why somebody used something the way they did & utitlizing theory to explain that.
theory is very cool ! & fun to study. but the question of "how does theory make me a better writer?" is pretty bunk in my opinion.
write using your ears, not your brain, is my advice.

The Well Tempered Clavier is some wonderful "applied theory" one can listen to over and over again. (... if one hasn't played it to death during the course of musical education)

a few weeks ago I started a reddit thread about how people think about form in techno and got some interesting conversations going. Some people clearly never think about it at all, others are kinda/sorta aware of it but think more in terms of arrangement, but I think it's one of the most important things and why so many new producers get stuck in the "loop" phase and never finish tracks.

Another great video. I really like where you are going with your channel. I like gear videos as much as the next guy, but what are we doing with all this gear once we have the thing, or what about just learning the thing you already have? Or just learning to make music? Love it, keep it up!

Thank u! Awesome video!!

I’m new to your channel and I feel like I finally found what I’ve needed in my musical journey in this moment of time. Thank you!
|
super inspiring! thank you!
|
Excellent video. Thank you 😊
|
Beautiful work i think this helped alot to validate many ways i see musical concepts being a scale dude
|
I watch your videos while I am working and take notes. Some of the only theory stuff that has resonated with me.

I'm hijacking this video thread, but I've been listening to your new EP and wow. I've listened to "Tides" over and over ... to help me learn more about composition but also just enjoying it. The sound design along with the sparseness and contrast between the background and melody all works so well together to really pull you in emotionally. Great work!

Man your videos are amazing, clear and simple conceptos, ideas, and explanations for someone like me who is starting to take music a bit serious and needs practicality
|
You’re a fantastic and inspiring teacher!
