Mellow Berlin School / Synthwave Song Deconstruction
A video about how to build a Berlin School song. I've been working on a song for an upcoming graphics demo a friend is building. Let's take it apart and see how it works!
0:00 - Start / Sounds
3:35 - Section 1- shifting chords over a repeating figure.
10:01 - Section 2 - using internal repeating figures / patterns / motifs
15:00 - Section 3 - contrasting rhythms with driving bass vs conversational lead
22:20 - Section 4 - setting and breaking the listeners expectations
26:27 - Section 5 - breaking the rules about staying in key
29:43 - Section 6, 7 & 8 - the drop and the emotional payoff / buildup
34:40 - Section 9, Intro & Outro - bookends and wrapping up
36:52 - In Summary / Tips
39:42 - Complete song (though not quite finished / polished.)
