Music 🎶 breakdown of @ordinaryfolkco reel from my last post!

1 — the whole track started with this violin and cello spiccato part that I wrote using @spitfireaudio Chamber Strings and Sacconi Quartet. I didn’t include my original violin recording because I hate my own violin playing 🥴. I took this and tried to develop harmonies to work with it for later sections. This same pattern comes back later in the piece but with a slightly different progression.

2 — intro was written after that initial progression. Used some conventional tension building chord progressions

3 — I messed up trying to play a harmonic note on my violin when recording. Ended up doing a weird glissando as I was practicing and really liked it. So I recorded this sound :) Quirky.

4 — this section was meant to feel smaller and frolicky so I recorded some violin pizzicato layered over sample string pizzicato in the viola/cello

5 — same rhythmic pattern in the intro but colored in with fuller harmony parts. The second iteration of the pattern, I wanted to bring in some string soloing cause why not?

6 — 🎻 my violin part recorded and doubled with Spitfire cello and second violin

7 — Big BIG BIGGER

8 — OP-1 arp run through @soundtoys Crystallizer and Echo Boy. Every piece needs some OP-1 sparkle ✨

And here’s a quick process breakdown with music only version on last slide

1 — @jrcanest sent me an animatic with a click track, scratch VO and a creative brief

2 — I struggled with writing to the click track for a bit but ended up changing time signature to 3 rather than 4/4 and that helped me make this.

3 — real VO came in and we wanted to make more space for it in the intro. I wanted to keep the music dynamic and @jrcanest gave a bit more direction on the intro motion. This was the result.

4 — [music only version] I touched up the music, kept things more organic but still sprinkled in some OP-1 😌
