Behind the Score: Exploring the Magic of Writing for Strings in a Film Soundtrack

Описание: The string orchestra is a powerful and expressive tool all music composers, producers and sound designers should learn. In this video, I go in depth about how to approach the whole string orchestra, how to take the most out of the different sub-groups, but also give tips about recording a live session and scoring. Presenting a cinematic cue I arranged for the film composer Michel Corriveau, for the soundtrack of the movie RU by director Charles-Olivier Michaud, based on a novel by author Kim Thúy. Enjoy!
