With permission from @Alex Pfeffer to post this here ... 🎶 I am hosting a free live session where I will show how I compose with "interval matrices." (sounds fancy, I know, but it works better than anything else I've come across in conventional textbooks 😁). It's a way of composing directly from interval relationships instead of starting with scales or chord progressions. It leads to some really interesting and unique-sounding musical results. 😎 In the session ... - ... I will break it down in a simple way, what interval matrices are - ... share many musical examples so you can hear what it sounds like - ... and show how you can use it in your own music. No need to be a music theory expert, you just need to be curious (and be able to read the treble clef and the bass clef). 💪 It's happening on Feb 25 at 5 pm CET (that's Vienna time). Here's the link to register, it's free: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/xeSg3xHATb6TSWBoLVtkrQ#/registration Would love to have some fellow music creators join! 🎶🙂👍 I'll also record it, in case you want to join, but can't (for whatever reason). And for those who want to know more about me or what I do: - full-time composer for the last 20 years - specialize in composing with the intervals - worked for Disney, Mattel, Warner, and many others - run the Circle of Interval Magicians (here on Skool) In case you're curious to check out the Circle, please go through Alex's affiliate link right here and show him some love for what he's built here: https://www.skool.com/circle-of-interval-magicians/about?ref=52b69798594c4ec285177ca20474dc8e

I have a zoom meeting scheduled with a film director this week. This will be my first ever meeting with a director, so I don't want to mess it up. Are there any things that directors are looking for in the initial meeting with a composer or is it just a meet and greet to get to know each other? I don't want to end up losing a potential gig because I didn't say something. I know the genre and the title of the film she is directing.

Happy Birthday, Alex! 🙌🥳 I wish you a very happy birthday, great health, success, and everything your heart desires! Thank you for everything you’ve done for us composers! 🙌

Watched this one here recently, a conversation between Venus Theory and Jason Graves, found it super useful so maybe its of value to some of you as well

Hey everyone, I hope you're having a great time! I kind of am stuck with the song I'm producing and I can't figure out what's wrong with the mix. Some help would be amazing and I'd be eternally grateful. Cause after hours of work this song is bugging me slowly... If you could tell me what I could change for the mix so it doesn't sound muddy or chaotic, that would be great. Thank you for your time:) From 0:42 is the relevant part and build up. The beginning is to be recorded again:3 My goal is to have a beautiful atmospheric bride mix but it should sound clean. (I'm starting to hate mixing 😭) (What I already tried: Mono listening and I know that brideness is luxury, Checking the busses/sections to cut out the annoying frequencies, putting some mixes down like reverb and being subtle with it) https://on.soundcloud.com/qRT2ScFkCAyfJpUXRU
