Music - Epic Sounding Orchestral Improvisation

Had to upload this again. Accidentally deleted the original. Watch in FULL HD and listen to with Headphones - or TURN IT UP during the song! PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION before asking anything technical- the answer might just be in here!




 This is an answer to an email asking me to show another music improvisation video. 

There are a lot of ways I write music. Most of the time I sit down and actually write out a composition, but other times, especially in a pinch, I improvise, and then work with the material I improvise and develop it. 

In this video I take a few pre-conceived ideas, (a scale, a rhythmic pattern, and instrumentation ideas) and then I improvise on top of that. The result is an 8 part piece of music that takes on an "epic" flare to it. I use orchestral sample libraries to make it sound realistic. 

The resulting piece is obviously NOT 100% polished or mixed. Nor is it particularly a great piece of music, but it does show my process when creating music this way. If I were scoring a film, for example, I COULD use this process, but I would certainly be very selective about which improvised "motifs" or melodies I would develop and expand upon. In other words, this would be more of a BEGINNING point, rather than the final product. So - I am sure that any composer out there watching this could do this in their sleep. I am just trying to visually convey the steps that go into this type of musical creation. 

 Oh yeah - a more technical note - what is NOT shown is my left hand on the modwheel controller for the French Horns that controls the volume swells. So that is how that is happening. :) 

Anyway - enjoy.
