Скачать или смотреть Discover the SECRET of Orchestral Heterophony

Discover orchestral heterophony — a powerful yet overlooked technique that can transform your orchestration. In this video, I break down how layering melodic variations over a single theme can add richness, texture, and forward motion to your music. Inspired by traditional gamelan and adapted for the orchestra, this approach gives you practical tools to craft expressive arrangements for concert music, film scoring, and beyond. If you're into orchestration techniques, composition strategies, or cinematic scoring, this is a concept you need to explore.
