Go behind the scenes of my upcoming song “Discordance” as I break down the making of its orchestral section. From the original 2014 chorus melody to layering strings, brass, woodwinds, and emotional piano, I share how I shaped this cinematic arrangement over the years. Using libraries like Albion, Berlin Percussion, Soundiron, Spitfire, and Omnisphere, I explain my workflow, mixing approach with SSL console emulation, and techniques for adding realism to MIDI performances.

Whether you’re into orchestral music production, cinematic scoring, hybrid orchestration, or songwriting tips, this video gives you an inside look at how I build dynamic arrangements with depth, drama, and emotion.

Timestamps:
• Inspiration from the main chorus melody
• Building orchestral layers (strings, brass, woodwinds, piano)
• Favorite sample libraries and sounds
• Mixing techniques for realism and depth
• Final orchestral climax breakdown
