[audio mp3="https://meeplemusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/coppia-assassina-2.mp3"][/audio] I'm back with a new export of the murderers' track: I added a cello's solo at the beginning, which I'm not very happy about (because I used a different library which I'm not very pleased with), then I added more rests: I wanted the...
Last week our professor gave us a new assignment: as you can see the picture is black and white, so no color to take inspiration from. I imagined two murderers walking right after their killing, so I wanted to express the anxiety and the agitation; but...
After long discussions about my last score I decided to start over with a new piece of music based on the same assignment. My professor left the university for personal issues, so we are working with a new composer - he's very straightforward and funny, he...
This last few days I've been working on the "orange music" assignment, and I decided to use a brand new approach. I decided to focus on the mother and the child in the foreground: I wanted to make a very gentle music. I started with a very...
After the grand ball, that evolved into the following piece of music, [audio mp3="https://meeplemusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/dopo-il-gran-ballo.mp3"][/audio] we have been given a new exciting assignment: create music for the beautiful painting by Édouard Cortès. The professor suggested to consider several approaches: one could be to write an "orange" music, another one...
This is the funny title of my last assignment: you might want to know its story. I have to confess that I always start writing down a score without any specific musical idea: I usually play with some instruments until I find some interesting sequence of...
Hi everyone! It's been almost a month since my last post - this last few weeks have been hectic! I'm currently taking the final exams of the first year (3 left to go) and at the same time I received an astonishing job proposal: Breaking Games listened...
Let's start with this: Counterpoint is an art, like all my books say. It's an art that requires many years to master, and that doesn't have an application whatsoever. It's like studying Latin: if you're the Pope maybe you can use it once or twice...
Among the most important classes there are two that are particularly difficult: they are called harmony and counterpoint. I will not talk about technical details about these two classes, but I'm going to loosely explore them. Harmony is a very old practice - the manuals we use...
I really enjoyed doing the task that the professor asked me to do: create a soundtrack as if Philip Glass and Hans Zimmer made it together. [audio mp3="https://meeplemusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/incidente-tra-glass-e-zimmer-10_12_19-12.44.mp3"][/audio] I started with a very dramatic progression thinking about Interstellar, then I started to add some high-pitched strings making...
