How I Make Music

#030 It Was Another Time


Listen Later

The music in this week's episode is called It Was Another Time. It was written to underpin some pretty heavy subject matter for a podcast set in the dark days of apartheid, so much delicacy and space was needed!

In this episode, we check out:

  • Using ambiguity between major and minor tonality
  • Leaving loads of space for tender moments
  • Moving down the scale for sadness, and up the scale to raise energy
  • SHOW NOTES

    * Alibi - True Crime podcast about a man (possibly) imprisoned wrongfully in apartheid South Africa https://alibi.org.za

    SOUNDS & DEVICES USED

    * Ableton Live 9 factory sounds (Sogawni Arp Split patch)
    * Kontakt 4 factory sounds (piano)

    ABOUT THIS SHOW

    How I Make Music is a show for aspiring music producers, podcasters, audio drama creators and film-makers. Hey, I'm John Bartmann. I make music and offer my own perspective on how to make it. My original music has been used in film, TV, radio and online. Each week, I write, record and release a new soundtrack. In this podcast, I deconstruct these original soundtracks one by one, sharing the separate musical parts, decisions and stories behind how each complete tune was made.
