Music Arranging

There are few books on arranging and orchestration, fewer yet that are recent, and none that explain the process easily in a fun-to-read fashion.

Continuing our best selling series on the Fundamental production techniques for dance producers comes volume 6: Dance Music - Song Structure and Arranging.
We've all been there. You have a killer 8 or 16 bars but building an entire track from them isn't as easy as it first appears. For Fundamental 6 we examine the theory and practice behind arranging dance music. Beginning with an examination of the theory behind phrasing and response, we move on to discuss sonata form, energy, development, recapitulation, motion, contour and anticipation. Using an example track constructed from 16 bars, we use the previously discussed theory and over numerous sessions walk through how to create a complete club arrangement using these techniques whilst also discussing techniques such as syncopation, meter, poly-meter, hyperbeats, hypermeter and hemiola to create interesting patterns and loops from limited instruments.

Have you ever thought about where the music we listen to comes from? Are you a performer who really wants to play a piece of music but can’t find it for your instrument or style anywhere?
