Ep. 8 - 8-Bit Music Theory

A Strange Arrangement is a podcast where the same song gets rearranged again and again...and again.....and again.

It is about the many ways we can rearrange music into different forms - twisting, pulling, adding and subtracting pieces and parts until you achieve a desired outcome.
 
On this show, a different musician takes the same song - ”Auld Lang Syne” - and rearranges it via rhythm, harmony, and more.  By observing and hearing how others rearrange music, hopefully you too will get ideas on how to compose and orchestrate music yourself!
