So you you've made your eight bars if you know loopy loopy goodness and then just sounds really good if you just
Let the thing play for hours on end
Making it interesting as about Minor sometimes major variations to that same bar and
Carrying that on and you do adding
Really interesting breaks or you know swells and dips
Taking out all the percussion in the drums
And then doing something completely different
But in the same key as your main thing that's what kind of keep something interesting you know
Arrangement in in dance music Irani DM is is pretty
Ready hard-coded into the
Intro
Breakdown and then
And then your whole main hug and then break down again
That's like
The formula just like
Pop has a formula just like
The country has a formula
Okay so
Structuring a song
You know you're going to you're going to see an arrangement
Kind of like this it is very atypical
Gopher dance music EDM where is like
Just by looking at it I can already tell you what
And what's going to kind of go on here
Where is all the little dots lines and grades and
All the pieces are just elements of the song so it's like basically you know me it starts out one way and then this
Two elements, come in over that amount of time
And then it kind of goes up to this thing and then you have this like this.
In this area here where it's kind of a
Breakdown or a little looks like because obviously not a whole lot of drums and other stuff
Stop coming back and then after that it
Comes back
But
If you kind of look at this from like a condensed View
The whole track
Is more or less
This section right here
And and this is how I I kind of start
So this is where that this
Song is built so here is
Like with everything kind of playing at the same time
Is this is where like the most elements are kind of playing
There's no rule
As to how many times you need to
Have a hookah or
No or Adoration of bars are time or something like that but
If it's going to be the you know the prominent almond track those should take up a third
Of
Of the
Of the whole track you know I think
And in the way you would arrange a track
Is
Basically
Let's let's delete this whole arrangement
And
Now let's say I wanted
Oh well let's
Here's this piece if I if I go through and start
Soloing elements you know you
Connie
Can I hear
Everett
Every individual element
Of the track and this distract
Surprisingly minimal
Kind of thing
Boy scrapping
And there's the lead and so I guess at that time when I wrote the truck I thought okay well let's
Let's just start with
That and then as that goes well
Kind of but that do its thing for one bar
And then we'll bring the kick in
Which is that
Collapse
But you don't hear me
So then there's the keg
And let's say
About Point bringing this there
Or a hi-hat
Rather
I hear the hi-hat coming in there
And then
Just is just basically kind of you know deconstructing your your your main part here and then
Constructing
A sequence out of it
It is really that easy but then you know it's going in and making small little variations
Or you know stacking Parts secure Avenue
Octave
Such as adding a new
Layer that
Same with that
And then the rest is
Just you know kind of going in like salwan
Right here
You know I don't I don't want to kick on that last
Dad and all that stuff so basically what you have a rough arrangement of how you want it
You been go back and
Why do men go from the beginning again and then just start adding all the little weird of facts and and small
You know I I just kind of
Run through all the little Parts my track if I want like a just a doubled-up Kik
No
But
It all stems from this having it
Being this is the track at its fullest and you know
Copying copying copying and then
Attracting parts
I just know generally from all dance music I've ever heard it's usually within the
262
7 Minute Mark and I don't know if that's arbitrary or to the point where I song becomes like new
Too repetitive and in the sense that yes
We've been hearing the same melody or the same song or the
Drum
It for too long
It could be as arbitrary is why why we recorded 44 1 kilohertz and can only fit 75
5 minutes on a CD you know it
Nor it could be psychological like
Attention span is just
Not fast
You know
Can't
Do for 13 minutes
Haven't had any negative feedback if I
Felt like it could be
Pulled out that long if the
Departs barricaded enough
Like strobe was one of my kind of
Bigger tracks where it had
Like it was almost to track
Jackson a fact where it started out slow and then turned into a different melodic structure halfway through so
It was two 5-minute long tracks that I kind of had to
Sing together somehow and it turned into one really long track but because of that change halfway through the
The track
It must have worked because it was like you know it was like two different things to the air you know
We're one was like a slow kind of build-up thing that went on for like about
4minute
And then
Mnmn the beat
Texan and all this other riff comes in so it's
That was okay
To do but you know
Miscarrying
That straight out for you know 10 minutes wood
Would drive me insane
Because I find when I'm
Playing the stoplight sometimes
I end up cutting a few bars out because you know
Like up there looking at my watch like
How long has this song been playing you know
Warming idiom
Live
Or presenting it live or DJing it
Time for that matter
It's it's good to have a kind of continuous
Mix
So
When you're thinking intro of a song Sometimes It's good to think outro of another song you like
Whether it's yours or someone else's preferably yours
In-N-Out
Are ways that you can integrate that intro
To seamlessly blend in with an outro of a previous body of work
Now
When it comes Album Time like or or just creating one-off kind of things it's not incredibly important
Because
Sometime most albums
Separate songs of separate entities and that's that you know
CD stop
Search
And then next track starts kind of thing but
I like to approach it in the way that you know
My
Melody intro
Is in the same
Jeor correlates with
Another project that I was working off of so it's like creating
One big long
Cracked and then I could say that big long track is
This is my live show you know because some
The nature of EDM shows
There's no breaking
Reaction
Your
Halfway through the outro of your last song your your into the
Beginning of your next song Single taneous late cuz they're
Overlapping
You can't have that law where you
You stopping
Intro the drummer in intro
The base is not Stephanie
Talk about your day you know that doesn't happen that
The EDM festivals weirdly enough
But for the sake of performance in and not having that
Break in my show where I have the
5 Seconds
2 minutes of
Silence hour
Some other stuff
Whenever possible I I try to
Have my intro correlate with an outro of a
Pre-existing body of work
Whether it's mine or somewhere else
Okay this this terminology the drop
I mean
I can understand it's a
Spec's nnn the way
That is it it really reminds me of you ever seen the movie Amadeus
You should really watch that
Film because it has
A lot in parallel to do with popular EDM
I remember a scene in that movie and this is we're not even talking electronic music but it's funny because it's so relate
Is that you know
This is what the end of the at the end of our peace we have to put a big bang so people know into clap you know
And that was a thing it really was back in that day and
And you know it
Pieces had to be conformed to a certain way to instruct the audience
Do something I have some
Participation or expectation of that music where is you know
Mozart was like
Kind of mocking that in a way where is like you know he would do that as a piss-take but
The point is
Is that I understand that you know you if you have a crescendo
You know and then
Kind of aloe
Mid-level sort of thing
And then you have a complete drop off but then
That during that short drop off thing going up and then you go down and that's the the
The kind of
Feeling it would invoke out of a listener so you have this thing and then just a
Little
Snippet of you know all hey we're going over the hump and then
And then it's up here because that's
Right after this
Drop this low in in that Crescendo in and that
Really does stupid thing but
In my mind and this is just solely my opinion it's like
Everyone in the crowd is a grown-ass adult or at least I would hope or assume over the age of 6
16 we don't
I have to
Clap our hands if were you know
If You're Happy and we know it
There are other ways to invoke
Moments of
Intrigue hyper mystery without
Having too blatantly Illustrated
