COMPOSE ACTION MUSIC FOR GAMES AND MOVIES
Among all the musical genres that live in the world of music composition for games and movies, action music is, without a doubt, one of the most requested genres by producers and directors.
However, those who believe that action music consists only of ostinatos and epic percussions are wrong...
Good action music needs to tell a story, take the listener on a journey of excitement, tension, confusion and resolution.
All of this organized in a way that is coherent with the desired balance, with the appropriate instruments, arranged in order to take the audience to the unexpected.
Yes, we will be discussing ostinatos, epic percussions, virtual instruments, layering but we are going beyond that... Composing, orchestration, MIDI, reverbs, STEM, templates and much more are part of this unique and special program!
Join us in this course and learn how to create an orchestrate action music from start to finish, just like the ones found in great games and movies.
BY INDUSTRY PROS TO EVERYONE
In order to create the ultimate action music composition course, Antonio Teoli (school director) and Jether Garotti Junior (course creator) have teamed up to bring you this epic course for you!
Combining over 50 years of experience, you will learn in this course, all the creative processes for composing an action cue, starting with a simple piano sketch to its final orchestrated version.
In this course, we will be using Logic but with the variation of DAWs we have nowadays, you will have access not only to the Logic project itself but also to the MIDIs, so you can import it in the DAW of your choice.
We can't wait to have you as our students and to hear your music work!
