Hello! How's it going?
Welcome back to another episode of TwoSet Violin!
We got Producer Shaun with us.
I'm back.
So today, we're gonna create our own,
- better than Hans Zimmer... - Yes.
Interstellar soundtrack, get out of here!
The stuff that you've been doing lately has actually
- moved a lot more towards like... - Cinematic?
- ...cinematic music, right? - Yeah, it's pretty...yeah.
It's gonna replace you guys.
(Shaun) Sorry.
That's why we need to learn these skills,
- so we can replace ourselves. - Yeah.
Should I explain like, what it actually is?
- Yeah, sure. - Yeah, so essentially, further along the process
when you're writing you know, music for film,
you've got your ideas, all that,
usually you might do a mock-up,
and then so you use this kind of stuff for a mock-up,
and then they'll score it out, and then you get uh,
the real musicians to actually record it.
Yeah, that's right!
- So we still have a job! - Hire real musicians!
Hire musicians!
I'm gonna play just...this is on the same conditions I made,
like, let's just say, Marvel-inspired kind of thing,
for 30 minutes, I didn't put too much work into it,
please don't judge me, here we go.
Ohh!!!!!
Ohh! Is that it?!
That was it!
Alright, here we go.
Are you ready?
I didn't study music.
Whoa...!
That is sick, actually.
Whoa!
Yeah.
It sounded like an actual trailer, like the...
Yeah, and you guys will be able to do that today as well.
- Let's go! - Nice, sweet!
So, who's first?
- You can go first. - I'll go first.
Is there like a, general guide,
that I should approach this?
Usually, you know,
you might write to a scene or something,
or have a specific motif in mind.
I can’t compose something on the spot.
Do you know what I did? I had...
...and I just put chords under that.
Bro, is this pop music or what?
- I think that... - I want to start with something gentle, melancholic,
but then it drops,
and like the freaking Hans Zimmer bass kicks in.
- Yeah, let's start with the piano part, - Okay.
- let's just start easy. - We'll just get um...
Like, if you do like a almost perfect run,
and you mess it, I would just fix it.
- Nice! - We're allowed to do that here. - Yeah.
You're in my world now!
Something like that for now.
I'll quantize it for you, so...
- Whoa. - You can quantize! - You can play...
I wish I could quantize my violin playing.
Will it work though? 'Cause it's triplets.
Yeah, I just choose the triplet.
- Oh, wow. - Oh, s***, that's cheating!
What happened to hard work?
Whoa, why did you laugh?!
- You're throwing me off! - Bro, that's Up.
- Is it? - (Shaun) Yeah.
I haven't heard Up...
- Wow. - Dude, I was just making that up on the spot.
(Brett) Dude, it sounds exactly...
- Dude, the part like you're... - It's just 4 notes,
they can't patent 4 notes, I'm pretty sure
Bach used those 4 notes way long ago.
It's the sad bit where they do it.
It's like the same...!
Bro, I've never even seen Up.
If you're ever scouting, Eddy's your guy,
for the next movie.
Brass?
We can maybe...we can put on the piano first,
- and then we move to brass afterwards, - Okay.
see if it works.
It kind of reminds me,
have you seen those like um, insurance ads,
(Shaun) where it's like really epic?
- Dude, they're epic though. - First it's Up, and then it's an insurance ad.
Are you going on a balloon? Purchase insurance.
It might be kind of cool,
if you had like a counter kind of melody going on.
Like on the spiccato, whatever.
Spiccato strings, yeah.
Dude, that's so annoying to play,
I can already imagine playing.
- When composers compose on this, - Yeah.
- they don't realise it's like...it doesn't fit on the violin. - Yeah.
I think the good ones will take it into account.
But not me, I'm like...
Yeah...!
Ohh...!
- You ended it on like a suspended... - Yeah...!
It's like...
"What's gonna happen?"
I wanna add some like,
electronic drum and bass s*** as well,
like Transformers.
Do you have that?
(Shaun) Eh...
What the f*** is that?
(Eddy) That's what I have in my mind, dude!
- Dude, it looks like Transformers, bro! Whoa! - Bro, I'm telling you! - Wait, let me see...
I mean, I have one I kind of use,
it's just like a straight loop.
Oh, I don't even need to type it,
- it's just a loop. - Yeah, you just hold it down.
Dude, that's so weird!
- (Shaun) That's kind of cool! - Dude, that was so much hard work, man,
- I had to like... - (Brett) Yeah.
- You have to feel... - ...hold that note. - Nah, you just...you have to time it.
- The...the counting. - (Eddy and Shaun) Yeah.
Should we add some stuff on top as well, like...
Turn it down a bit.
Yeah, just do that, can you do it? I'm...
- I'm not...it's not...it's not my project! - I've peaked! I've peaked creatively.
Nice.
I think that's so overkill, but...
Nah, probably a bit more if we...
- Actually? - Okay.
- Honestly? - No, yeah.
(Brett) Oh.
Chord layer.
I thought the bass piano was meant to be that.
- Oh, even better. Let's copy it. - (Eddy) It's just...
Copy?!
Copy and paste, bro!
Dude, and change the whole instrument!
I'll put in the dynamic.
Oh, you can...you can do that?!
Dude...!
I would love to see Hans Zimmer
do a reaction video to this video.
- And he just like roasts the hell out of us. - Bro... - Yeah...!
Take off this.
- Oh yeah, there was a metronome the whole time. - Yeah.
TwoSet's vision:
It doesn't make a world, but...
...apparel for children, apparel for musicians,
- it's cheap and affordable. - Apparel! - Yeah!
Beauti—spreading positivity.
- To everyone! - Classical music, to the whole world!
- Have to say like, you know, vision, inspired. - Yeah.
Hope!
Hope.
- Microeconomics. - And then...
- What? - And then...and the transition is like,
"Don't forget to practice, dun-dun-dun-dun."
It's so like, innocent.
It sounds just like Up…
Yeah, and then this is where you see like,
a sacrilegious talent show right now.
No...!
Defunding the arts!
It’s not talent!
Sacrilegious!
The government's defunding the arts!
- No...! - Dude, it's like a different...
Orchestras are being locked down!
- Bro, that's so sick. - Dude, that's epic!
- Very nice, that's very cool. - Wow. - Dude!
- Very cool, well done Eddy! - Nice! - Wow, thanks man!
I...I got pressure now.
Nah, you got your um...
...lo-fi genius coming man.
Is there like sound effects for like...
...leaves and s***?
Yeah, I can...I can find some...
(Shaun) ...here we go.
Shaun's like, "Okay...?"
I mean, I set up all these beautiful instruments, you know...
- Okay, well how should I start? - No, we'll put...
...we're getting leaves, that's cool.
It's like, whatever the client wants.
Dude, that's scary! I don't know...
I don't know if I can write this.
What do people mostly start with?
Uh, a motif. Eddy had his...
I'm gonna do this one here then.
The sounds in the choir, see if that works.
Nah, let's save the choir till later.
- We need to save this. - Yeah, this is gonna be the cherry on top. - Save this, save it.
Yeah.
- I mean, we can start with piano. - Save—start with piano. - Yeah.
- Start with piano, nice and easy. - Yeah, yeah.
S***.
Dude, that puts me off.
- I'll mute it for now. - That sound puts me off.
I can actually…I swear I can hear like,
like Mario songs, like the thing underneath, playing that.
You wanna try like, some strings or something, maybe?
Yes!
Uh...
You know what might be kind of good,
would be um, like tremolo strings, like...
Whoa!
- That is definitely when the demon murders you brutally. - (Brett) Yeah.
What if it turns out Brett's like a mathematical genius,
- Yeah, yeah, yeah... - playing all these polyrhythms. - Yeah.
- And we're just misunderstanding. - We haven't...
I thought you were gonna say
"Turns out Brett is an actual serial killer."
Yeah..! Dude...
- It's like soundscape, kind of... - That's sick!
No, that's it!
That is like, you are five years old in an abandoned carnival,
about to get murdered!
It's sorta like, how like people who make like, avant-garde stuff,
sit around going, "Dude..."
- "Pushing the boundaries of music!" - "You didn't use a single scale!"
No scale, bro!
I'm breaking all tradition!
Can we add the voice now, that freaky voice?
Yeah, you ready? The choir?
Alright.
Dude, that actually kind of sounds cool.
Dude, what...
- Oh, you just copy it? - Yeah.
Well done.
What's your movie about?
Before you go to a violin lesson and you didn't practice.
Or you're walking in the middle of a park
- at 2 AM by yourself. - Yeah, yeah, that too.
Dude, that bottom line...
The bass and strings...
Dude, the leaf makes it.
That's the murderer walking away,
- Well there you go. - (Shaun) from the swamp.
- You definitely need the leaf at the end, that's perfect. - That's it, yeah. - Yeah.
Dude, the leaf made it, see?
- Wow, pushing musical boundaries, I love this. - Yeah, I wonder what Hans Zimmer will say about that.
- Thank you, Producer Shaun. - Yeah, thank you, Producer Shaun.
- Without him, none of this would be possible. - Yeah.
Maybe that's a good thing.
Make sure to check out...
- ...is it like a channel? Or do you have... - Yeah, I got a channel now. - Channel, okay.
- Yes, to... - What do you do with your channel?
Just making covers of um, songs and stuff.
- Similar kind of style, not Brett's style... - Yeah, similar kind of style...!
Like cinematic orchestral style,
more close to Eddy's.
It's pretty cool, I listen to it, it actually sounds like, legit,
- Yeah, yeah. - like what you would hear from a game. - Oh, thank you.
Yeah, go check it out, it's awesome.
Alright guys, as usual, go practice.
Bye-bye.
