Charting Tracks: Episode 7 - Music Creation (Part 2)

Charting Tracks

In this Charting Tracks episode, we continue our discussion on music creation and delve deeper into the creative process and explore concepts such as “TAMTIFTL” (Timing, hArmony, Melody, Tonality, Instrumentation / Timbre, Form / Structure, Texture, Lyric).

We also discuss the elements that go into music creation both emotional and phycological and learn how tension/release, repetition, change all play a part in the musical journey and what elements actually make up a song.

And if that wasn’t enough, we also talk about the Dolly Parton Test!! Want to know what that is? Listen and watch part 2 of our music creation episode here: http://hyperurl.co/chartingtracks
