All language subtitles for 12-05 - Developing Melodic Structures - deadmau5 Teaches Electronic Music Production

I approached music on a on an

Like I don't

I don't dream up things I'm not

If you know

F****** what's his name from The Beatles

Serena was like I haven't

Dreamland

You know when I

Transcribed

I need to hear it

I need to

I'll be on it and be experimenting with

Right then and there

Essentially all music is

Series

Upcycle

In-N-Out

That's for everything

Country music

The series of cycle

Score that cord

Discord.

Discord.

There really isn't a lot of music out there that

That isn't

Part of the cycle

The thing about

The cycle

And in my mind the way it works is

Is that you know you you start on a note

And then

Do what you want here

But just as long as you can get it to resolve back to that

Seam route

Structure so that the

Recycle sign

Natural

As opposed

Summer bro

Thing

I think that's

Don't know because honestly I

I slept during music and

Even though I went to

Territory for music

Slept during that too and I totally don't know what

This is called

I call it resolving

Maybe that's

Actually what it is

Melody has to resolve

So that it's

Sounds like a

The continual cycle

Abruptly end on a cord and then

Start on it

A different cord on a

Freaky

You just kind of classes

When it comes back around if it

You know I

Flute base thing

All of my songs

Would be good examples of

How to close that

That look

Let's see here

So this is like just some free-thinking stuff here

Major

Turn up three notches

So that would be

My

First

2 bars

Have something so that's cycling

There's no key change in there so what I would I would instinctively do is

Duplicate that

And so you

Have that now now you've got to

Four bar

Kind of Melody going but you wanted you want a keychain

But

Now I know the top note

Should be

This swinging to put that in the in the

Same

Spot

And then bring that first note

Down

A bad cycle

Tell you right now would be

Since now where

Looking at

8 bars

That doesn't resolve to me

When I'm doing this

Kind of thing over eight bars

What I'm actually looking at

Is this last

Bar and this first bar

So what I want to do is just listen to the so

Only way that would resolve as it is now it without exchanging

Completely ismek this minor

So now I know that

Say that now that's to me that makes more sense than going from

That minor

Two major

I know I'm going from minor to minor

Makes more sense

I think it's actually just

The different interval of that

Exact same

But now that I know that those two are those two are on

Now I can go ahead and end in fix

Chanel those two don't

Really go well together so it's

Finding that

Back

This just seems to be the only offender at this point

This Tuesday

Flying together

Dad the last one in the

The first one

Together and then it's

Third one

Welton but it but but these two seem to go together

Weird Mystery of the unravel

Mnn

This is standard structure to sew

This is going to go in terms of blank

Try this going to be a bar so you know it's divisible by

To all the

I'm so

Things I do like to end up doing a Traxxas if I know that I know these

Do kind of resolved so I can kind of try something new here in the end

Stadheim II do this for the few MyTracks actually

Is instead of make-up

A-6 Barn

Your whole your whole main phrase is being

Offset

Bye

2 bars every every time the thing loops around

Because

If you put a you know

A quarter note

Kickin their

Are you going to get

Want that extra one

But instead of going to jump back to the second and then just keep doing that and then I'm going to

Total of

6 sets of that until it Reese

SATs 2

16

So I mean that's how I

Sometimes do it or you know or I'll even go

I never really go

V bar

Sore but I will do

4

And and and sometimes you know 3B

You don't rarely I do that because just live time doesn't fit at the moment this isn't for barley

Hey I mean I wouldn't turn it down

But

That's the kind of my my my go-to

Formality creation is

Looking at the first

Raise

And looking at the last

Phrase and then

And then slowly closing in the loop

With everything

If it doesn't resolve properly then all that other s*** in the middle isn't f******

Mater like

If it's good or bad or whatever because it's going to be bad when

Back around

I mean

That's that's

That's one

Always Alyssa

And for that resolved between the end of your sight

To the beginning

Another thing I do do a lot

2 is Ikea

What's called a drone

This is a

Fun exercise

Two that I like

What to do when creating music

Can you hear it a lot actually you'll hear it

Most prevalent Lee in

My pet coelacanth

Open up

That's a really good

So this whole track was written with OneNote

What I have done here

Where is

Used apps

Another

The STI

Grenada MS

So what I did

And it's the way I started this song cuz I literally just play this one no and

Hi I called at my base my drone and then what I do after that is I went in and

And I took another

Basic sin

Affected it a bit but

No not much

And I've written notes all around that drone so I knew that cord worked

So on but I had that one referee

Cuz I knew for sure if you have a drone

So actually let's try

Is why I like having a reference drone in there and end

Sometimes I'll write to a drone and then just take the Drone out and then

Something without that and then it's

I kept it in

So what I can do now is

Delete all that and then go

Listen to that rupich

So I can go

I said I'm going to work

That does

Making a

Commence to make sure that the Drone note fit with but if it doesn't then then it's okay to delete the Drone

Because even though that

Didn't quite work

What that drono going if you don't

Roanoke

That's okay so a lot of inspiration comes out of writing to a single no

Or Sherlock to a very specific amount of things in the Poconos

Tamika a really long cycle less boring it's just a key

So you'll start to hear more armies get introduced as the thing went on be social

Ali Wong breakdown

Is this

Carry that on through the main theme of the track but what I

And I chose to do for this

Mike is just

Take small

Pieces of these cords and then

Like not randomly but

Like place them in opposition than arpeggiator

See you get this

Missing some Sam those are the same chords that were just play

Inspirata quarter with pizza

Complain one para motorcycle drag another part

So once you have your

Horror phrase down the rest

Does all pretty

Simple because

Variation

Turns out that

There's two types of music

Listen to Wanted

Is pleasing yourself

Animus pleasing

You know and if you doing one of the other that's fine but you know it's hard to do both

Is so

Crowd-pleasing stuff is stuff that you know his kind of the sing-along formulaic like

Clap your hands at this party like you know how it Go sing the words

And do this

Song and dance

Stop pleasing yourself is kind of like

Writing music that you know is

Arranged in such a way that you like

But might not sit well with everyone else

You know but

If you don't do that left-field stuff you're not going to stand now you know

And you can kind of tell when you when you're out there doing so

Something for the first

Timer playing a song

The first time to

Crowd if there

If they're into it or not

You know

I recently just started playing you know snow

Massive dance

Festivals and stuff like that and

No I don't get that

The rage like I'm seeing a sea of people doing this you know as I do when I'm playing ghost and stuff for

Raise Your Weapon or whatever but you know you can kind of see some you know

Humming and hawing in the front row but

You got to just realize that you didn't Amy in and I can't help but feel and I'm a little bummed out that they're not

Digging this but

You know what who f****** cares

I can s*** out Melodies In my sim day and night

I can do this all day

Probably come up with a million things that a million people would like but

I want it to resonate with me I have something that I've done that I have

I'm done before or is

You know

Audio bleed

Pleasing

To me you know weather

It's not just

The straight

3 Bass

Record

Poprey

That would immediately get bin because it's

Just to

Obvious

Casino and I need

That's not

Something you hear in a lot of my

Elms and work sir

Cord structures

Is that

Shouldn't make

The end of the question I get is how did you

Come up with

I can really come up with that I develop
